terminoob Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Is it just me or is Nintendo starting to make these games to easy. Gotta make 'em easy so kids don't throw tantrums and break the TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Sex Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I'm sorry but getting blue shelled, red shelled, then starred or bulleted in Mario Kart Wii got absolutely ridiculous.... or trying to save a Golden Mushroom only to get Bullet Billed RIGHT WHEN YOU GET IT, list goes on and on.....you can only go so far ahead until someone rubberbands up.... it's good to see that even if you start getting plummeted by items, you can have a Starman or Super Horn in reserve to save yourself... just like it always was until Double Dash. And from what I've heard from people, the CPU themselves are much more skilled, so maybe not that easy. If it was that frustrating then change the difficulty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clappy Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Have to agree with E.V.I.L. here. Mario Kart Wii's AI was uneven as fuck. It was red shells, blue shells, ink splats, and lightning bolts galore when you reach first place compared to past renditions....and I actually kinda enjoyed that about the game no matter how frustrating it got. It taught you to be more careful with banana peels and other items to protect yourself from potential attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.V.I.L. Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 If it was that frustrating then change the difficulty Then it gets too easy and the CPU don't do anything That was my main problem with MKWii... there was never a balance Have to agree with E.V.I.L. here. Mario Kart Wii's AI was uneven as fuck. It was red shells, blue shells, ink splats, and lightning bolts galore when you reach first place compared to past renditions....and I actually kinda enjoyed that about the game no matter how frustrating it got. It taught you to be more careful with banana peels and other items to protect yourself from potential attacks. There's nothing wrong with tons of items as long as they're not cheap.... but then when you get a good item only to get run over by a star the second you see the item... pretty cheap... and then the blue-red shell combo It's harder to protect yourself in this game though as you can't hold any items out behind you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Sex Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 It's harder to protect yourself in this game though as you can't hold any items out behind you Pretty sure you can by pressing the arrow pad sideways or something close to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.V.I.L. Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Pretty sure you can by pressing the arrow pad sideways or something close to that Lemme rephrase: harder to hold items out behind you The coin item hogs first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crushingmayhem Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I found Mario Kart Wii to be a lot easier than all the previous Mario Karts. The reason being that I beat the entire game with gold trophies in all cups. I didn't reach that level in the previous entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clappy Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 If it ain't broke, don't fix it. While I find the Koopa siblings to be completely unnecessary characters, I have had absolutely no problems with this game so far. The courses are absolute eye candy and some even challenging. What I particularly like about this installment more so than the past couple is how Nintendo actually took the time to renovate some of the past courses in an attempt to make them look not dated. Obviously you can tell which ones were from what game, but even the SNES and GBA Mario Kart courses look stunning. Haven't tried the "new" Battle mode yet, which I've heard many complain about. Probably not going to anytime soon since I have rarely played Battle mode in any of the games since Double Dash. Bottom line, this game is an absolute must have and hopefully this helps pick up unit sales for the Wii U badly. Oh and also, you guys should race me. Some of you obviously need to redeem yourselves from previous ass kickings in Mario Kart by yours truly...and by that I mean Aquatic Nuggets and ExKizuna: SpoilerNintendo Network ID: bobeh123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Sex Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 This game is pretty good so far but much to easy. The koopalings are probably my least favorite things in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The koopalings are probably my least favorite things in the game.I'm not entirely against the Koopalings inclusion. They have been desperate for new characters definitely, but I do agree that their inclusion over characters like Diddy Kong and Birdo is kinda stupid.
