Even I didn't know there were arcade versions (let alone ones with Pac-Man as a playable racer).<br /><br />In my opinion, I think Double Dash was better than MK64 (though obviously the slanted sales don't agree with me). My reasoning for this being that it added an extra, and unique, coop feature that's virtually absent from all other racers. The closest parallel I can think of is an old arcade shooter called Lucky and Wild, a driver/on-rail shooter hybrid. Additionally I thought Wii was somewhat disappointing because the Motion controls were more gimmicky than functional (a player using the nunchuk would almost always beat a play using the "wheel" in my experience). However, I'm totally behind you with Mario Kart DS being the best of the series. The stability, variety, and portable multi-player experience (I remember actually playing on the job a few times but don't tell anyone). Additionally I understand where you're coming from somewhat in how the release of the game affected your life (though honesty it was a different game for my generation *cough* *Starcraft/Diablo* *cough*). <br /><br />Lastly, I too am looking forward to the 3DS, and the many remakes that will be available for it (Starfox 64 remake? Heck yeah!). I'll be looking forward to picking up my own when it comes out (along with my long awaited Skyward Sword). Keep up the great entries, looking forward to a detailed scoop on Donkey Kong.G. Palacionoreply@blogger.com
