Yeah, I don't know what nintendo's deal with that is. I'm getting really sick of the mario kart/golf/tennis rosters, I wish they'd put the smash brothers roster into these games.

Nah, I dunno, there is somthing about imagineing Link/Gannondorf playing Golf or Tennis that doesn't sound right.

As for Mario Kart, I wouldn't give a rats ass either way.

I think Mario Party could fit everybody in, but Golf/Tennis probably should just stick to the "Mario" world of guys.

Well generally I think Nintendo should stop the stupid Golf/Volley spin offs.

I for instant am NOT intrested... I don't exactly get all too horny and erected about playing as Mario in a Golf or Volley game.

I also won't be getting Mario Kart cause it has no descent single player... but it is a karting game so I should complain.

Ah, happy summer days playing Mario Golf, happy winter evenings spent playing Mario Tennis. Of course, it would have been cheaper and healthier for me to buy a racket and tube of balls or set of 2nd hand golf clubs instead, but I couldn't really care less, I prefer my sports to be virtual.

Mario Kart was never out to impress anyone graphically, so I don't really mind that much.

I just want this game. The LAN feature sounds neat, considering the small size of the GC (and the handle).

Pikmin2 on the other hand....well I don't really care

I just dont see your problem. Mario kart is not suposed to be a realisitc looking game. You need to think again, if it has the gameplay i dont care about what the graphics look like. If i wanted a graphical racer i would go for a F1 game with a crappy multiplayer mode. In my eyes its gameplay over graphics, and thats what mario kart will give us i essure you.

The game is called 'Mario' Kart. Only characters from the Mario universe will be in the game. Link and Ganondorf are not in the Mario universe. Same with Mario Golf and Mario Tennis (bloody good game).

Mario Golf and Tennis are excellent games. I think mario golf is probably the second best golf game I have ever played, and the only tennis game I have ever played was also Mario. Good, good games. I think they were also good sellers on N64.

Anyway, you cant change the roster to anything outside Mario, other wise it wouldnt be Mario Kart. Besides, Link racing in a kart is just not fit.

How does hi res textures and smooth models necessarily make for a realistic looking game? The difference between a realistic looking game and a cartoony looking game is the art style. Gameplay > Graphics, I agree...but that shouldn't give Nintendo the excuse to bail in the graphics department.

Before you throw large pointy rocks at me, Mario Kart should not disappoint in the gameplay department.

I agree. Well except for Mario Golf coz I haven't played it. But Mario Tennis IMO is easily the best tennis game overall going around.

Much more better than Virtua Tennis :errr:

Without a doubt

I agree on some terms for the Tennis ordealy. I effing loved Super Tennis, and I think Nintendo should start their sportsline again. :D

Well, uh... Mario Kart is different. It's an original idea for one.

I agree with Stu, I mean the game doesn't have to look realistic, it does however need to be cleaned up just a bit.

I mean other than that I don't mind the look of the game, nice, colorful and vibrant.

I agree... But I'm simply a fan of all golf games that play like Mario golf, they keep getting better and better. Mario Golf has a lot of extra features that put it over the top though.

As for Mario Tennis, I agree also, I can't think of a tennis game I've played that's outright better.

Well these are the screens on the official site, extremely small, but eh.

Yeah i agree but as someone pointed out its not quite finished yet. Yeah hopefully they make it look a little cleaner, but if they dont then i dont reall care!!
