Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

Oh no.


Nintendo will release a game fot the DS that they've released for every previous system but the NES?


PSP is D00m3d!!!!!





P.S. Owned by hotlinking.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

I'd get it if I could sooner rather then later. Needs me an online game for the DS

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

I love Mario Kart



Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

geez, I can't wait for liberty city.. it's the only thing that I want right now... later on, star wars

but the point is, nintendo is releasing a red DS bundle with mario kart ds... and that's the killer

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

Dunno what you were linking to but here's some artwork and the final boxart:





And the revealed secret characters are Waluigi, Shy Guy, Dry Bones, and Rob the Robot. Gonna be 8 in all.

Been waiting forever for Shy Guy.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

looks great. that'd be the only reason I'd get a PSP.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

I can't see that being the final artwork.

It's so... bland.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

I think its nice, but it could be great.

400, great.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

no, i was talking about this:

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

The artowkr needs a background of pizzaz. Thats the problem with it.

Mario's pose also scares me...

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

In that case:

Well Sunshine's boxart was pretty bland too. If you stare at how his legs are it doesn't seem quite right.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

Luigi is driving a vaccuum, and DK is driving a rhino..... :confused:

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

Luigi's mansion and...er...DK's Wild Night with a Rhyno?

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

Dry Bones? WTF is that?

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

And here's the list of secret characters revealed so far:

Koopa Troopa
Toadette
Petey Piranha
Waluigi
Shy Guy
Dry Bones
R.O.B. the Robot, not the StarFox one, but the "Robotic Operating Buddy" peripheral from the NES.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

First in-game pics of Dry Bones. Damn those pics are horrible quality though.





And here's the final final US boxart complete with the Wi-Fi logo and "Game Experience May Change During Online Play" under the E for Everyone. I've come to the conclusion that the boxart is so boring because if you had an exciting boxart in addition to the sweetness of the game itself you would experience sensory overload.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

All fun aside, the kart's that these character's are assigned to are so f---ing gimmicky that it almost makes me want to transfer my loyalty to another racing series.

Nothing says, "Fun" like racing with Princess Peach in her gender role specified pink kart! Or how about Luigi and his vacumn-mobile!!! Vroom-vroom! Because after all, the only time the character of Luigi was ever affiliated with a vacumn-like device was in a rather ****ty Gamecube launch title in 2001! If this doesn't satisfy your racing urges, go bananas with Donkey Kong is his Rhino-Racer! Cause I'll be damned if any animal is going to be allowed to drive in a vehicle that has even a shred of dignity and class! If being discriminated and treated like a second class citizen doesn't float your boat, choose Mario. Does Mario drive a FLUDD waterpack shaped kart? Nope. How about a mushroom or fire-flower since he's employed those items extensively throughout his career? Nope. Mario gets to drive the fastest, coolest looking, white kart which looks like a standard racing vehicle!

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

With all the whoring Mario's been doing he can afford such a nice kart.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

Hmmm. GM has a point there. Im REALLY looking forward to this one.

DK on a motorcycle with the Bullet Bill weapon.

And Wario seems to be riding a tractor...

The battle mode is still "Get Shine." Will Sunshine ever be behind us?

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

Oh man, a paint mode? This game just sounds better and better every time I read about it.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

Yeah...tis why I suggested we start a clan with a GT emblem on the karts...if people wanna do such a thing...

And about GM's kart gender role comments:

Videos showing WiFi in action. And Shy Guy!

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

looks sweet.

I keep on getting more and more impressed by the DS.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

Hopping, mini turbo boosts....it wont be long now......

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

hmmm.

and to think, if any of that ever came into real life racing...

a whole need kind of NASCAR

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

It's R.O.B.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

Toad, Dry Bones, or Koopa Troopa are likely going to be my characters.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

I was so syked to play as Shy Guy but according to the official web site he's only used for download play matches. :( Guess its Dry Bones or Koopa Troopa (who I used in conjunction with Diddy in DD) for me.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

Dammit. Here's all the playable characters:



The others were lies and Shy Guy still only on single kart play. Man that sucks. Dry Bones it is.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

No koopa troopa?!!?

I am ashamed!

I'll probably do DK.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

Lord Bowser, thy will is done.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

I've been checking out http://www.mariokart.com/mkds/launch/index.html

And it's not bad. I'm looking forward to the retro courses a lot.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

ZOMGZ. I've had it paid off forever and never knew about the retro courses. That will undoubtedly be the best feature of the game.

Re: Nintendo keeps em coming
 

Hell yeah; they were damn sweet in Super Circuit, and having them remade in 3D is orgasmic.
