"I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Is what I'll be saying first thing tomorrow. As I was coming home from work I hear the ad on the radio and I'm like "nooooooooooooooo" coz I would've bought it today.

So I'll let you all know what it's like when I get it.....later.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

(excuse the language) You lucky son of a bitch:mad:

Post impressions!:D

Thankfully MK: DD isn't out for another week or 2 in the US, since I get paid 3 days before it comes out. So it'll work out great for me.:D

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

That's greatman, post pics, impressions, the whole works,:-D ;)
I'm glad that the Europeans and the Aussies get a A+ game before the U.S

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

You guys get it b4 us? :camfu: lol, its all good

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

all i can say is that you're damn lucky, thats it.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Wouldn't be funny if someone went into a gaming store and bought Luigi's Mansion instead and then started bragging to the people around them?

Anyway, enjoy bobcat :) And don't tell us who the legendary, secret, unlockable characters are yet! :)

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

i think i'll get 2

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

That's great! I hope when I get my copy of the game I have free time to play it. I know I'll be hooked with that game.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

i'm waiting for it.


I'll also be playing it through warp pipe once the beta version is released.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Well i'm kind of p!ssed.

The ad I heard on the radio was wrong. MK:DD is not out yet, the guy @ EB said the 13th (my bro rang up).

grrrr.........

stupid wrong ad. When is the US getting it?

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Check my sig;)

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Hehe. :p
We'll get it in 8 days, but I'm not buying it yet.
I just got F-Zero GX, still playing that. And Eternal Darkness (yes I know:rolleyes: ) and TWW and THPS4 and Soul Calibur (major letdown BTW... stupid button masher).

So I'll wait.... ;)

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

I though Mario Kart: DD was coming out the 11th in the U.S.? :confused:

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

No. All credible online game sites have said the 17th. Ebgames.com and my local ebgames says the 17th.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Do you think they could possibly push the release date to a more convenient date for me?
Preferably this Friday (Nov. 7) so I could play it during my four day weekend?

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

ask them nintendo is understanding

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

No but you could go and hijack the shipment ships/airplanes. ;)

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

How does the system link thing work? do both consoles need Broadband adapters, or is there a system link being sold seperately? I must know!

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

If you were to hook up 2 GameCubes, the mandatory hardware is: 2 GC's, 2 BBA's, a crossover cable, and a game that supports system link/LAN. That's it. Getting to play over LAN should be very easy...I'm guessing that all you have to do is have both at the LAN select screen, then wait as the 'Cubes communicate. Probably the same way 2 or more XBox's work....

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Tomorrow should be the big day..............

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

I want a detailed review of it, pics and a MPEG/DIVX movie of the game. :D

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

And spoilers that aren't properly labeled as "spoilers" so I read it and ruin the whole game for myself.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Well, no review, but go here.

Edit: Do we have to put the URL brackets around links now? It didn't autoformat it for me.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Holy crud, it got a 7.9 at IGN.

I wonder why I'm still going there. =\

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

10,10,9 from EGM...7.9 from IGN :hmm:

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Huh .........

it was 9.5 last time i checked.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

oops, my mistake. I knew it was 9.5:D

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Actually the website says 7.9.

That's weird

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Maybe because they are the largest, most popular video game website on the net?

I think they are entitled to their opinion, and you aren't one to judge considering you haven't played the game yourself.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Right. You wouldn't want a racing game to be spoiled now, would you? Then you probably shouldn't read the following sentence:

In MK: DD, you race karts.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Sorry... anybody know when it comes out here in canada? I've havent been keeping up with gaming news the last like 6 months, but im definatley gonna pick this game up as soon as i can, considering my dad gave me money to spend on something.. then he told me i couldnt buy that one thing and forgot he gave me the $80 for it :D

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

The release date is considered a North American release, so Canadians should get the game the same time as Americans (ship date was November 11, yesterday, should be in most stores today). This of course depends also on where you buy it from. EB, for example, has a Canadian warehouse, so the stores in Canada don't need to wait for a shipement from an American warehouse. Also, since Nintendo of Canada will be distributing it here, that makes it all the better.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Thanks a lot Crono, you just ruined the whole game for me. I'm not even going to buy it now. Jeez. :mad2:

;)

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

They are entitled to their opinion, but their review system is ****. There's a lot of titles that don't deserve to be on the top, and a lot that should.

I haven't played it, but EGM has, and most of Europe has.. Gamerankings has it's overall percent sitting at 94%, before this IGN catastrophe. Either Fran is pissed, or it wasn't a good game. And I don't believe IGN as a credible source.. their chance to enjoy games has been long since worn out.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

:WHOA:

Who would have ever thought!!!?


*Another Spoiler*


Mario is in the game!!!

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Mods!!!! People are ruining the game........first karts, then mario........what next???? Bowser?

:unsure:

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Yeah this has to be stopped. I for example would never spoil that Pikachu is a secret character.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

I guess IGN was expecting something different than what they got, where as everyone else got exactly what they wanted. Needless to say, I think people are acting a little to crazy. Every forum I visited yesterday had a thread about this and about 20 people writing 3 page long posts about why IGN is gay. I mean, if they don't like the game, they don't like the game, they aren't going to lie and pretend that they like it when they really don't. People are acting like IGN is wrong and gave it a low score on purpose. What the hell is that? Why would they do that? The fact of the matter is, I just don't like it when people degrade a publication for giving a low score to their much anticipated game.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

I never understood this, when ign reviews a game and they give a low score based on factors they consider important everyone jumps on them, like IGN SUCKS but if they review a game and give it good review like everyone wants, everyones yeah IGN GAVE THAT GAME A GOOD SCORE, i'm picking it up tomorrow. What's up with that.

Neways although I haven't played the game I do see where they are coming from. From what IGN stated I do believe nintendo could have done a bit better, I especially agree with the cart skins, more tracks and they can actually have the characters play a role in how the cart drives instead of just the cart being the main thing that influences.
Another thing that I'm sorry they didn't implement was a two player team mode ( and no I don't mean co-op mode) that would have been fun.
I know I haven't played it yet, but I just know I'll miss the hopping , I dunno it just seemed natural.

I guess your dissapointed in the game depends strictly on how much you where expecting from it.
So I just hope I don't get dissapointed and have lots of fun with the game.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Why do people have to flip out about reviews? It's even worse when (as fingersman pointed out) people praise a site when they give a game a good score, but condemn it when they score a game they're looking forward to low... Why do you really care?

Castlevania for example... First review I saw gave it a 9 out of 10...IGN an 8 something I think... But videogames.com gave it a 7 something... Oh no, it's the end of the world :rolleyes:
