Oh you.
It's not a speed game, never was, and short of coming in to lulz about your favorite company, you haven't had point 1.

Dammit, I'm gonna have to pull out a copy and play it again.

He's insulting you cause you missed the point of MK DS, its not about the "sense of speed" like say GT. Hell MK SNES had no sense of speed either, especially compared to something like F-Zero.
It's like complaining about not being able to just run out in the open and gun everything down in Splinter Cell, when you can do it in other games with the same perspective that uses guns.
Shit! Are all my fond memories from the N64 game!?
No, it really isn't. Mario Kart has gotten slower and we've gotten older. Whether it's because the tracks or wider or whatever, the sense of speed has gone down from acceptable to 'might as well not be moving at all'.
If you like it, fine. But again--while no one is expecting Wipeout, I speak for a lot of people (especially because I'm far from the only one who has complained about this on the internet) when I say it's a shame that it's so slow.
I don't care if he tosses personal insults (I've never even met him, and from the sounds of it, would hate to), but it does show his true colors.

It sounds like you're remembering the N64 game, not the SNES one.
Joust is right, BTW. Mario Kart games have gotten slower as the series has gone on. Double Dash was laughably slow, especially since the powersliding/boosting felt awful in that game. The DS Mario Kart made the speed decrease irrelevant by making snaking so easy and smooth.
Edit: LOL at posts #204 - #221 being entirely comprised of back-and-forth banter from two people.

I don't like Mario Kart because I don't like winning from blue shells and shit.
Wipeout's items don't seem so decisive, and the actual racing mechanics seem way better. So I like Wipeout.
Yeah.

I don't know if I would say everyone agrees with you Joost considering that WW (and probably in each region, I know it is in the US and Japan) Mario Kart DS is the best selling Mario Kart game. So obviously it has enough speed for a good majority of the people, and they find it fun enough to buy and play.
I bought it too. And I thought it sucked balls. So? I don't care who the hell bought it.
We get it that Nintendo is trying to include everyone. But I don't have to like it if it comes at the expense of my enjoyment.

He never said that "everyone" agrees with him, and he really shouldn't give a shit that it's the best selling Mario Kart game.
I've had a lot of fun playing shitty games in multiplayer simply because of the people I was playing with. The games still sucked.You've failed to explain how "fun" and "good" are different concepts. If it was an Important New FPS with SHINY GRASS, you'd be all about it.
