Nevermind me is what.
If you could only count to twenty you could get down the rest of the cast too.Quote:

Am I mistaken, or does this game actually look quite blockier than Double Dash? I thought at least first party titles could hack it graphically on wii.
I guess I don't understand why GP never got a port, either. Clearly it would sell, it does have "Mario" in the title. It's been finished for a few years, they just need to add a couple tracks and make the graphics worse. We'll worry about GP2 on the next N platform.
whatsup with the wallpaperish backgrounds
Don't question Nintendo's innovation.
Some of the screens look as good as Arcade GP, but a lot of others look substantially worse. I hope those wallpaper backgrounds are placeholders.Quote:

It talks about the controls and a couple of new items. It sounds pretty good but I'm not sure what to think about the power sliding changes. Maybe it was to curb snaking?
See: Mario 64 Bowser + Excitebike 64 Dirtbike?Quote:

They've still got a lot of usage to pull out of the Mario Kart DS models. ;)
Found this info at NeoGAF. Most of the users there seem to believe this game has killed snaking. It was my first time reading their forums and I'm not impressed.
