Lol. Keep telling yourself that while the rest of us enjoy this beautiful game.

Double Dash was alright, still quite playable, but it was by no means the series' high-water mark. People seem to forget it had very little content going for it. No custom cups, no ability to choose single races, no CPU-controlled battle opponents... Nowadays I just play the All-Cup Tour from time to time, but other than that there is not much to do unless when a friend is around.

I remember people being only mildly enthusiastic about it back in the day, but nowadays you can't enter a Mario Kart discussion without at least a few people calling Double Dash the game to beat. It evolved the series in some meaningful ways, but it was by no means the great game everyone was expecting at the time. The same goes for Wind Waker, by the way. It may just have been personal experience, but about 8/10 people back then I talked to were underwhelmed by the game. Now it seems to be the favourite of many. Maybe it's a generational thing.

And don't even get me started on MK64. It was blown out of the water by Diddy Kong Racing and Crash Team Racing respectively that gen. Fun for nostalgia, but not deserving of its legendary status.

No, it isn't.

"You can't see the track on the screen, they have a horn button?"

You can see it on the Wii U screen. Not sure what the horn button has to do with anything.

I played all day yesterday, and I have to say It might be the best MK so far. The anti-gravity, air, and underwater racing certainly aren't gimmicks, as they influence the game dramatically. This can be noticed especially on the retro tracks, which actually feel like new tracks seeing as how much they've changed. The design of the new tracks is out of this world. Current favourites include Bowser's Castle, Toad Harbour, Rainbow Road, Cloudtop Cruise, Bone-Dry Ruins, Twister Mansion and Mount Wario... as you can see I have tough time picking because they're all so amazing.

@KBFloYd The standard bike is actually good due to its balance. I used it to beat most of the 150cc GPs.

Got it yesterday, had a day off, so I played all day. Getting the 3-star rating was pretty easy, as you just have to win 60 points in the GP this time around. Your rating doesn't go down from falling off the track or bumping into obstacles. So in the end it didn't take me more than a few tries on each GP.

Also, a tip for people wanting to get the 3-star rating on each cup: you are not obliged to do this on 50cc and 100cc, as performances earned on 150cc will automatically translated to the lower classes. You will have to do Mirror separately, though.

But yeah, great game. Can see myself playing this for a long time to come.

Lol, I didn't know this '30fps is more cinematic' fallacy was still a thing in 2014.

The 720fps I can live with, but 59fps? UNACCEPTABLE.

Go away, aggrieved gender studies drop-out.

When the PC adepts are starting to affect even my most mundane activities, I seriously start to consider living in the country where noone can bother me. Please donate.

Bowser is back, that's all I needed to know. :)
