Mario Kate update (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

After finishing Mario Kart Double dash, I decided to try Mario Kart DS as I never played that one.

I’m guessing that it had to do with the hardware, but the karts felt slow, so I moved on to Mario Kart 8.

I have to admit that this version of the game looks the best and the kart movement feels the best.

It’s such an improvement over Double Dash that I think I do in fact like it better. Especially at 200cc.

I know some disagree, but I hated the way you're supposed to trigger drifting on DS. That left-right spam served no purpose and was terrible on a D-pad.

So glad they got rid of that bullshit after DS.

I actually like that left-right motion. It means that its harder to drift and get a speed boost. Not just holding a button like in most other MK games. I imagine its better on a dpad than an analog stick though, so I guess its still good that they moved away from it.

I mean, if they'd found a way to force people to do a handstand and push a button with their nose, it'd be even harder.

Drifting is not some secret combo technique, it's basically half of what you need to do to play Mario Kart. To me it feels as stupid as if I had to do hadokens to jump in Super Mario Bros.
