[QUOTE="fabz_95"]Yeah guys, it's not really a negative since it opens up new realms for platforming but it does take a bit of time to get used to.Lucianu
Btw., i noticed a ton of jaggies in those gameplay videos, how are the visuals holding up considering the hardware.
Those jaggies are because AA doesn't work well with 3D mode. I think the visuals are perfectly fine since the game aims for simplistic graphics rather than excessive effects.
[QUOTE="charizard1605"]It'll get a 9, but I still think that the definitive 3DS game will be Mario Kart 7.93BlackHawk93
MK7? How can that be "the" 3DS game and not one of the main games in the series? Because so far, it seems to be the only game that seems to be doing full justice to the 3DS's capabilities. It's a gorgeous looking game running in 60FPS in 3D, meaning it utilizes the 3DS's power. It has a wonderful online mode. The previous game in the series turned out to be the highest selling non bundled game of all time, and defined the system it was on (I'm talking about Mario Kart DS, just to be clear). It was also one of the best games on its system. I'm pretty sure we can expect MK7 to follow in those footsteps.

I'm hoping that Mario Kart Lucky Number will follow in the footsteps of MKDS.

I'm with you on everything you said except for that. This game's online functionality is extremely barebones.
No, it's online functionality has been confirmed to be full fledged. Sending friends invite, cross game invites, eight player races, random eight player races, matchmaking, creating lobbies, everything's included in this game. You know they're revamping the friends function of the 3DS in the November update? This is the first game to benefit from that.

Double Dash, along with DS, is simply far and away the best game in the series. It's a pity they did not explore the concepts introduced in DD further.

sorry, where did you get this info? It would be fantastic news, but I wasn't tracking at all. A google search of "mario kart 7 online multiplayer" only tells me that it'll be 8 player online via wifi or local. Also a google search of "3DS november update" only tells me about 3D video recording. Would be stoked if I could confirm it.

NeoGAF actually. The TGS trailer for MK7 along with Nintendo's TGS conference confirmed all of this.
^ thanks. if I were Nintendo I'd be shouting this bit of news from the mountain tops. The online play was actually kind of a deal-breaker for me. This puts the game firmly back into consideration for me.

I'm sure they'll do it soon enough. Then again, this is Nintendo, they have the most dysfunctional marketing department I have seen since Sony 2006. I'm just hoping the reviews exonerate the online function to hell and back so that everyone knows about it.

I only played DD once... which is weird because I used to play the crap out of MK 64 and MK DS.

DD is like the Majoa's mask of the mario kart games. You either love it or hate it, or so it seems.
SM3DL pre-orders spike on amazon, up by 32%. It's all because of my hype thread. :P
Handheld GOTY.

Wouldn't be hard to do. Only Ghost Trick and Tactics Ogre have gotten AAA this year. SM3DL and MK7 are really the only other games that could give them a run for their money.
