just got this news from gamespot

Quote:

Nintendo has today released the first gameplay information on the GameCube version of Mario Kart via its official E3 Web site. The game will boast a number of new features, the most obvious and intriguing of which is that each kart is manned not only by a driver, whose attributes will affect the handling of the kart, but also by a second character that will be responsible for handling power-up items and weapons. In addition to six regular items that are available no matter which character is riding shotgun, each character will have access to a further eight items that are specific to them. Players will be able to have their two characters switch seats on the fly, which could make for some quite tactical racing since every change will alter both the handling of the kart and the items available.

Also, according to a report in the latest issue of Famitsu, a number of Nintendo characters that haven't previously appeared in Mario Kart games will also be making up the numbers on the starting grid. The 16 characters confirmed for inclusion in Mario Kart to date are as follows:

Baby Luigi
Baby Mario
Birdo
Bowser
Bowser Jr.
Daisy
Diddy Kong
Donkey Kong
Koopa Paratroopa
Koopa Troopa
Luigi
Mario
Peach
Wario
Waluigi
Yoshi

Famitsu's report also hints at support for up to eight players using two GameCube consoles, although no more specific details are available at this time. We'll bring you more information on the GameCube version of Mario Kart when we report live from the E3 convention in LA next month.

This is good news. I think that Mario Kart was one of the best games for the SNES and the one for the N64 was good too.

Not to bring anyone down but I do not like the way design of the new carts. They look like toys out of a happy meal. I agree with preventer both of the other mario kart games were the best. Who could forget the joys of jumping your friends red shell when he was sooooo sure he had your a

haha. I can't wait for this game to come out.

Off topic but has anyone heard any info on mario tennis for gamecube. That is another title I've been eagerly anticipating

Mna that look so totally cool. I used to love this for SNES. Remember racing Bowser. I used to have a way to knock him out. You just samck him and he sometimes goes whizzing off to the side. I like Mario Kart for GBA but this game will rock when it comes out for GC....

I truly love the mariokart games , but I think since the snes original there haven't been any dramatic improvements only the graphix are better.
Frankly I still find the snes version the most fun to play....
And I don't think it's gonna be changed by this new one...

dan da man · May 13th, 2003, 07:57 AM

Nice news VIC, although I like the idea being solo on a kart better. Not two people, but it will make it more fun for two player, co-op.

Azuma_Ninja · May 14th, 2003, 04:40 PM

The battle modes should def be interesting with 2 characters per kart. Does each cart come with 2 drivers or do you get to pick the ones you want?

stuartb · Jun 6th, 2003, 04:32 AM

i think mario kart64 is one of the best multi-player games out there.the snes version was brilliant in single player mode and awesome in 2 player.and i honestly reckon that this version will b the best of the bunch

Chaos · Jun 7th, 2003, 01:24 AM

i think its kinda funny

Luigi,"I'll drive you shoot!"
Mario,"Momma mia!Here we go!"

i made that up myself!

Did you guys hear about this latest news that Nintendo Of Europe is trying their best to have 16 player via system link at the release date.

Right now...... 8 player through System Link is 100% sure, but I think if they can pull a 16 player system link, that would be just the BEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!!

WOW!.!

Judging from the shots, the party members seem to alternate, at least the princesses along with Mario and Luigi do. Perhaps it'll be the same for the rest.

I have to admit: The idea of having the ability to choose your own team seems to be half the fun of it, and if you have to have a specific team, then I don't think it'd be the same.

And Berserker is quite right, or at least, I fully agree: The Mario Kart for the SNes was definitely the best. But then again, I think that we can all agree that regardless of graphics and whatnot, some games of today just can't beat the classics of yesterday

.

And what Makg said is awesome! Imagine that: You can rock a house with a tourny of Mario Kart! 16 player mode would be excellent. But alas, 8 is good, as well.

I want this. Ph33r me and my turtle-shell-jumping-skills!
