I only need one reason to love this game

Chupa-Chupa3729d ago

Nintendo should do an HD remake of this game and release it before Kart 8.

corvusmd3729d ago

because it's 1080p 60fps...duh...

Last_Boss3729d ago

The A.I, and character models were atrocious in this game. Great freaking tracks though, and liked the blue shell in this one the best.

patrik233729d ago

still prefer crash team racing

nevin13729d ago

Yeah Crash Team Racing and Diddy Kong Racing were better.

DoggyBiscuit3729d ago

Only a Sony Fanboy would say that

ArabianKnight473729d ago

I'm a playstation fan. But come on. Even I know this game is the best kart racing game. I own a Nintendo 64. Some of the best games I ever played...super smash brother. Mario. Mario kart. 007 golden eye. Man...Good times. I love playstation. The only thing I don't like (about the whole direction of the industry not just sony) is the lack of multiplayer offline. I want to have the option to play with friends. Come on!

It's like they want gamers to move away from the 'oh my friend owns a ps4 I'll go to his house to play with him' mentality cause they're scared they'll sell less consoles. This is where Nintendo gets props. I wish Sony and MS take notes. I'm sticking with my ps3 and eventually ps4 but I want more offline multiplayer options...although now with ps+ being mandatory to play online multiplayer I feel like they will move away from offline even more to give ppl more incentive to buy plus. Plus is worth the money but it's not worth losing playing with your friends. Damn it! I'm ranting. Pce

ThatArtGuy3729d ago

I had a LOT more fun with CTR than I did with Mario Kart 64. The best Mario Kart, in my opinion, is still the first one.

miyamoto3729d ago

I played MK64 and CTR...but CTR is in full real 3D, much more fun an the controls are so better.

Want to know what the best selling N64 games of all time are? Here's the top ten list, with many fan favourites and a couple of surprises.

Ninver364d ago

Never understood what 64 meant. Can anyone enlighten me? All I know is my neighborhood friends and I used to play the crap out of it. Favorite games were Cool Boarders, Mario kart 64, WCW vs NWO just to name a few. Man life was simple and good.

Mario Kart 64 Is Now Available In HD Graphics

A fan project allows Mario Kart 64 fans to experience one of the most prominent games in Nintendo history in HD.

MadLad493d ago

Can't wait for Nintendo to strike it down, sue the makers, then sell the work to us for $50.

CobraKai493d ago

I think the disagrees stem from the $50. It’ll be $60.

Duke19493d ago

And converted back to non-HD

ZeekQuattro493d ago

It's on the expansion pass already and Mario Kart 8 sells millions every quarter. I think Nintendo will be fine.

MadLad493d ago

I figured with something like this Nintendo would do right by the gamers and sell it at a deep discount lol.

Knushwood Butt493d ago

And sell an overpriced, painted plastic toy as a tie in.

Nintendo is helpless if they upload it as a torrent and share it. Once it's on a torrent site Nintendo can't do shit about it. ROMs have been there for so many years, and it will continue to do so, and I will be there to take it all and post links directly to Nintendo and laugh about it, with my VPN of course 🤣

Yui_Suzumiya493d ago

I was coming here to make this comment, lol

z2g493d ago (Edited 493d ago )

Lol. Meanwhile the rest of the world moved on to 4k years ago.

Number1TailzFan493d ago

The last 1-2 years maybe, unless you didn't care about having a high refresh rate.

MadLad493d ago

I've been running 4k for a long time now, but I'm on PC.
Switch rarely gives you decent resolution or a solid framerate.

Number1TailzFan493d ago

MadLad i didn't go 4k until we had high refresh rate screens, which also had better pixel response times. I originally went 1080p 120hz in 2012, then 1440p high refresh with gsync in 2017 and last year i went with the 4k LG 27GP950. I didn't want to go backwards on refresh rate. I realise we had 4k monitors a while ago but they were all at 60hz.

anubusgold493d ago

4k is stupid low fps and less detail because consoles cant really handle it without using tricks like checker boarding.

Sgt_Slaughter493d ago (Edited 493d ago )

65.06% of Steam users are using 1080p
11.34% use 1440p
5.70% use 1366 x 768
.
.
.
2.60% for 4K

So no, they haven't. 4K is still for enthusiasts and the ultra hardcore. The rest don't care.

Kombatologist493d ago

"this mod also has a low chance of removal due to copyright reasons."

Not sure how they came to that conclusion when the GitHub has copyrighted assets in the form of PNG files. Get it while you can.

Orchard493d ago

Looks cool, but Nintendo will shut this down faster than you can say “it’s a me, Mario!” in your best Italian accent.

Einhander1971493d ago

So many bitter little people on this site, personally I doubt Nintendo really care about your comments anyway.

badz149492d ago

Nintendo doesn't even care about their fans, let alone the booing noise regarding how anti-consumer and scummy they are. they only listen to the path that leads to more money with the least amount of effort and investment possible.
