An Idea For Mario Kart U

Bring back the Double Dash concept of having two racers for each kart. Player 1 uses the Wii Mote and Nunchuck for steering the kart, acceleration, braking, powersliding, etc. Player 2 uses the Gamepad which would run whatever program Panorama View is running so that he would have a 360 degree view of the course and he would control the weapons. How freaking awesome would it be to literally be able to look behind you or to the side of yourself while Player 1 is racing and be able to interact with other characters?

yes that idea was already brought up before. It seems perfect but if they go that way they have to fully develop the passenger game. If they did that it would radically change the entire experience and they would have to come up with new AI and everything. I like it.

edit: now that i think of it I don't know if the panorama view idea was part of the idea, just the Double Dash second racer controlling the items and helping out part. That would definitely be cool and would look funny from an outsider's perspective looking at people playing it.

sounds awesome but i think its will be too complicated... they should just keep it simple and use the wiiu screen as the map with all the racers or maybe use the it in a panaromic way to see the racres behind you...(like a rearview)

But being the passneger in DD was so freaking boring.

While I myself never liked DD as much as the others, it is a very fun party game. It needs 4 players though. But honestly it could be a good idea to go back to this co-op driving, since consoles are better suited for that than handhelds, and I just don't know how much better the traditional mario kart can get over MK7 :P. Love that game (though it could use some SP challaneges and like most mario karts, more battlemode features).

I actually enjoyed the co-op in DD, and would love to see some improvements for it.meetroid8

WiiU would be the perfect system for it. I like that the gamepad is already being used in some interesting (maybe not mind blowing, but still) and helpful ways, as to where the Wii's at launch (and most of its life aside from some games that used it really well) the motion controls were moreso used for gimmicks.

What wii want:

Dynamic co-op with panoramic views on the controller to throw projectiles at other drives while one is steering the kart through crazy tracks and course

What well get:

Map display, review mirror...touch screen for menus

Heeey. I really like the double dash idea! When the player using the Gamepad gets a blue shell, a veiw of the whole map comes up showing all the other racers... then you have to decide where the Blue shells hits. Tiny nuclear explosion here. Boom

I'm certain Mario Kart U will be amazing

and 16 new tracks. They have been doing a fantastic job with the tracks and the racing in MKDS and MK7. I just want to see them spend more time on battlemode, cause racing is nearly perfected in MK7.

imo, Mario Kart U should go back to it's roots.

Meaning there would be more emphasis on sliding, no over-powered power-ups, less but more diverse tracks, better balance, ect.

Basically what SMK and MK64 did, but for the modern times.

The Wii version is filled with stuff but feels kinda unbalanced and doesn't reward the pros well enough (more emphasis on luck than actual skills).

Yes! Exactly what I was thinking before I clicked the thread. Make it like Double Dash, the best Mario Kart made. It's not only fun for co-op play, I also loved having 2 items at a time that you could switch between, when you were playing alone. It made Mario Kart much more strategic and more fun. And all characters had their special item. So awesome.
