Re: Review: Mario Kart 64 (Virtual Console / Nintendo 64)

This game has aged very poorly.

I remember getting this game about 9 years ago. I just loved it to death. I remember bringing my friends over repeatedly, just so we could all play this game. I remember when I had to hang on to the TV when my parents tried to throw me outside. About one year later I lost the cart.

Now, eight years later (I dropped my points on this about a year ago) I bought Mario Kart 64 for my Wii. When I first played it, I was expecting a big nostalgic flood, and I was expecting to play this game over ad over again. It didn't happen.

I agree with Nintendork. The game has aged very poorly, it is very slow and slippery (though not as slippery as MK:DD), but the item balance is excellent. Wide tracks were another disappointment-when I got way ahead of the other players, the track suddenly felt very empty and the game suddenly felt even more sluggish.

This isn't a game. It's crap. It really does insult the Pokemon fans with intelligence. The graphics look like they were done by a two-year-old, there is practically no gameplay, and it doubles as a flawed storage. The score is WAY too high.
