Why Mario Kart 7 has me down.
Well, it's official, snaking is officially gone from the Mario Kart series. After Mario Kart Wii, it was up in the air if future iterations would provide players with such ability, but it appears Mario Kart 7 solidifies the permanent omission. As an advocate of snaking, this is a sad day.
Updated impressions of one of this year's most anticipated 3DS titles: Mario Kart 7.
One thing resonated with the bunch of us “comic con goers” when it came to Mario Kart 7; the game is incredibly smooth and incredibly fun. There really isn’t much to say about it other than the fact that it aims to yet again provide an insanely addictive handheld driving experience. As stated in my E3 preview, players at the beginning are allowed to pick a driver, customize car parts from wheels to body and glider type, then the race begins. While it's currently unknown what most of these car parts do, it’s safe to say that they will have some type of effect on either the speed or weight of the kart.
Seems Nintendo has more announcements regarding its little 3D handheld gaming machine.
Right before this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Nintendo held a Japanese press event to comment on the status of the 3DS and announce a bevy of new titles including the juggernaut that is Monster Hunter 4. Considering that it’s only been a little more than a month it comes as a surprise that Nintendo has announced that they will be holding another press event this Friday called, “Nintendo 3DS New Information Internet Presentation.”
Mario Kart 7 is available for the Nintendo 3DS on December 04, 2011.
Mario Kite...i mean Kart races on to the 3DS, and it's AWESOME
Mario Kart for the Nintendo 3DS is definitely looking to once again suck up massive amounts of playtime from gamers. My hands on with the game surely proves that may very well be the case this holiday.
The game will see a host of new features.
Nintendo announced during their press conference today that Mario Kart 3DS will be making its way to stores this holiday season. The game will see some new features, like gliders, underwater tracks complete with propeller carts, and tire choices for different handling. Nothing more of the game was announced, but it appears to be a slight departure from past entries in the series.
What could this quote from Nintendo's latest press release mean?
"Other Nintendo 3DS games in the works for 2011 from Nintendo include The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time™ 3D, Star Fox 64™ 3D, Kid Icarus™: Uprising and new installments in the Mario Kart™ series."
