The 3DS project manager reveals that 3D wasn't always on the cards for the DS successor.
As part of its huge sixty page feature this week celebrating the 3DS launch, Famitsu has an interview with Nintendo's Hideki Konno, producer of Nintendogs + cats, and head of the Nintendo 3DS project as a whole. The magazine managed to get a few interesting bits of 3DS development history from Konno.
At GDC 2019, Capcom's own Hideaki Itsuno and Matt Walker provided details on how Devil May Cry 5 was designed, bringing the franchise back with style.
Allowing gamers to create their own courses is an idea that intrigues Mario Kart 8 producer Hideki Konno, but the difficulty involved in doing so is the main reason that functionality remains only an idea for the future.
I'm not sure if I want to buy Mario Kart 8 or not, but if it had this feature, I'd buy it in an instant.
Genuinely curious, does anyone see Nintendo stepping out of their comfort zone anytime soon? if LBP can do it and mod racers can..then...this is no excuse really other then them not wanting to go the extra mile
Pretty sure every console since the GameCube was Nintendo "stepping out of their comfort zone"
consoles yes. they are awesome at that..but the games, l'm talking about their games here. l've got mario kart 4-7 and owned a few older ones before my n64 cracked... l can't see myself buying this one. it looks too much like 7 o justify a 70 dollar purchase.
and this sites bubble system is annoying.
LBP and Modnation Racer are build around the Idea of creating stuff Mario Kart isn't. If you don't like that it doesn't have a track maker, oh well, the game will still sell millions and many people will still enjoy it. Personally I much rather have 10-30 unique tracks than 500,000 generic copy paste tracks with a few exceptions here and there. Not to mention how unless you have friends willing to play a player-created track chances are you are not going to find nobody in a server or hosting. Most of them are playing the tracks that came with the game (I say this with my experience with LBP racing).
Whether they do or not, there will still be haters like you trying to downplay everything Nintendo do.
So Nintendo is just doing what Nintendo does best which is ignoring the haters and making quality games.
l'm not the only one that feels as if Nintendo are falling short somewhere, l don't want to talk to someone with your name, clearly you're a troll
and on the other post you commented on...you said this "Mario kart 8 is gonna sell a lot of Wii u consoles, I know u all fear this" <-- this is an indication that there's something that could effect them. l asked how does a game release effect the ps4/xbone
....you can't read and evaluate what people are saying, downvote them and just start going on a tangent about fanboyism as if that mattered at all. Ever.
Modnation Racers isan amazing kart game, gameplay wise, but its awful loading times (even after patches) completely killed it for me. And I suspect the loading tools had something to do with it.
Maybe this is one of the reasons Nintendo didn't want to include this on MK8?
LBP & MOD Nation racers are half the game that Mario Kart is.
I just bought a vita and tried both and was extremely disappointed.
I LOVE creating things in video games. I take HOURS to create my guy/player/team and such in games, so it would be welcome.
But People are complaining about a feature that was never intended to be in the game anyways.
* There are 4-5 of THESE things in EVERY GAME, that people COULD complain about.
They are "Made up" / " What if" complaints.
* Why didn't _______________________ Game have ______ ?
^ Works for any game but it's not a smart thing to do.
For me, Modnation Racers on PS3 is the best kart game I've ever played, gameplay wise. Yes, even better than any Mario Kart.
The problem was that it had the worst loading times I've ever seen. So atrocious that I got tired of it and abandoned the game. That fact alone made me return to Mario Kart Wii, which wasn't as good, but had decent load times, which makes all the difference in the world.
Sony really fucked up big time by trying to replace Modnation with LBP Karting instead of making a sequel with decent load times. Modnation had so much potential. I'm sad. :(
It would have been a great feature considering it would be perfect for the gamepad but regardless the game is looking awesome and i can't wait to get my hands on it.
They don t want to spend the extra money
Thier excuse for not doing it is that the consumer/ gamer could not o a good enough job because it is hard? Are they kidding
If you dont like dont buy it, just wait for the next Modnation racer or LBP racing game.... if Sony ever releases one.
The limited amount of item customization seen in Mario Kart 7 will be expanded in the upcoming Wii U sequel, Mario Kart 8, according to director Kosuke Yabuki.
"'Oh well, I just didn't feel it today. My luck wasn't with me. Whatever the cause"
It shouldn't really be about "luck" though, it should be about skill.
It is, mostly.
This is Mario Kart; a bit of luck with your items is always going to be a factor unless you opt to make it more "Traditional" by doing nothing but custom races with no items whatsoever.[which, in my opinion, is boring as fuck. If I wanted to race like that, I'd play FORZA or Need for Speed or something.]
I agree, it's like playing smash without items, still good, but not the same.
Nothing beats picking a pokeball, trow it at your opponent face and get a magicarp, a fuck is given followed by a mad charge to restore your lost honor, i always love that loony side of smash.
No, I was talking about the guy who said it, he's making it seem that it's just about look when it's about skill aswell.
The weapons are fine it's just the blue shell which is annoying, if you had at least a small chance to deflect it then fair enough but you can't.
There is a way to cheat though. When racing in Mario Kart all you have to do is hang back in 2nd or 3rd place, doesn't matter where you are in relation to the other racers, 2nd or 3rd will net you the better weapons to automatically take out the person in front.
There was many times when I would hang back grab three red turtle shells, maybe a star, or better yet a lightning bolt on the last lap in third or second place.
And trust me a lot of online players did the same thing. I hated playing like that but it's the easiest way to win. That has been my problem with MK since the Wii version. Nintendo actually added more weapons to jet a player into 1st place, bullet bill, the giant mushroom, it's beyond ridiculous.
The blue shell was the best in 64. At least there was cool tricks to get away from that and it could hit everyone in front of you.
Foxtrot if you dont like the freaking game stop going to every damn Mario Kart 8 post and expressing how you feel. no one gives a rats *** how much you despise the game, there are still plenty of us who well enjoy the heck of it. please leave your whining on the front page.
edit: and about the blue shell, it has bin a staple to the series for a LONG time. no way in hell nintendo is going to take it away because one person is pissed about it. get over it.
it finally happened.
item customizable marioKart
wOw . .surely a grand day for me knowing that i can choose to have only these Items during races .
1)yes to green shells
2)nitro boosts shrooms
3)banana peels, etc . . finally no more cheapy blue shell if not playing with kiddies,.
but sometimes red shells yes wOw yes thanks happy tears smiley faces
