Mario Kart

After spending about 15 seconds looking for the racing game board before realizing there wasn't one, I decided to put this here.

How's the new Mario Kart for Wii? Just downloaded Mario Kart 64 for Virtual Console, and it ain't bad. Is the new one worth the extra money?

MK64 from what i've heard ids the best in the series

MK64 is the best one in the series, I think.

MKWii is only good for the online play. That is the only feature worth playing, IMO.

64 is the best on e i played
i haven't played the newest

Many might disagree, but I found Double Dash enjoyable, too.

it was fun
but i found the tagging quite pointless
and more hassle then it was worth
the unique weapons were cool though

64 is the only one I've played. The Wii is the first Nintendo system I've played significantly since the SNES.

i'd so wait till it gets cheaper
and buy whatever else is considered to be great on the system i.e. galaxy or metroid prime

The Wii's not actually mine anyway, so I very rarely buy games for it myself.

i say tell the other person to buy you games for your 360

MKWii is only worth it for online, IMO. The AI in the game is dead easy to beat due to all the different ways to acquire speed boosts.

Nobody can beat me at MK64!!
I've never lost unless somebody hacked and got lightning bolts during the whole damn race >_<

I've only played 10 or so of the track so far, at the 50cc level, but is there any use to the breaks? So far just sliding round the corners works.

I always drift on corners, its faster and safer

Drifting is without breaks, yeah?

It depends, on n64 just hold L or R and turn while accelerating then you pulled a drift but when it comes to sharp sharp corners you'll neeed to tap it a couple times to get a sharper drift

L and R are shoulder buttons on the N64 right? That's probably be ZL and ZR on the Wii controller then.

I never played MK64 on the wii, if I did I might use gamecube controller which is same controls most likely.

Heres a short cut on dk level, not really a short cut but it will boost you up a couple places.

On the jump across the river aim slightly to the left, you'll get ahead of some racers. Once you land tap A and you'll accelerate faster thus you may stick with the place you ended up with for a while. I get past the boxes before but thats a hard one

Alright then. That might be difficult on the wii classic controller. It has 4 shoulder buttons, but all in a row, so there's two big ones one the outside of the controller and two small ones right on top of the controller. And those would be the slide buttons. The other two are jump and weapon.

if you hold the jump button when cornering, you'll drift around it, its great for the long turns and if you use the e-brake(one of the normal buttons) during it, you can make a sharp turn at the cost of some speed

Nah I didnt just make ten post about that
