/vr/ - Retro Games

I played this fucker to death in college. We'd stay up all night doing Time Trial mode on Baby Park. Always will be one of my favorites.

Yeah OP is full of it, DD is highly regarded

>>9944928
Loved the drifting, easily the most addictive Gamecube game

>underrated
not anymore
its getting its dick sucked all the time nowadays.

>>9944928
This is considered underrated? Everyone calls this the best Mario kart game. It's also the only good Gamecube game.

>>9944934
>>9944963
>>9944974
this is all true, also its the best co op mario game

>>9944928
Idk. It took me some time to get a grip on it but it's good. It didn't shake it up too much but it did change it up enough. My question now is why is 8 so popular and long lived? Why haven't partners been brought back in atleast a special game mode?

It was too early in the series for it but I wish Double-Dash had retro tracks. Mario Kart with only 16 tracks just feels so short.

>>9944928
i dislike the track design and item selection in this one. the peak of item balance was mario kart 8 on wii U.

>>9944928
People who care about the actual racing part of Mario Kart tend to dislike it because it's sort of bad in that regard. People who like it tend to like it for the music, aesthetics, the co-op gimmick etc.

This, it's bland, no hopping, excessive rubber banding and far too linear.

If Double Dash is so good how come it's the only Mario Kart to be outsold by the Smash Bros on its respective console?

>>9945042
Because the Smash Bros in question is Melee. Getting outsold by that game isn't something to feel too bad about.

>Caring about item balance in a mario kart game
why? double dash & wii were much more fun with power ups like mega shroom and chain chomp. Whats the point of the game if the items are "Balanced"? just play outrun.
>it's bland
LOL

>>9945042
because as good as double dash is, melee is even better

>>9945042
>best mario kart outsold by best smash bros
I don't see the issue

>>9945042
Double Dash released a couple years after Melee, which was about halfway into the GameCube's life cycle by then.

This is the correct answer. Wii U sold like shit and Smash 4 was considered mediocre by most. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was a launch game for the Switch so it had a head start. Not sure about the Wii, but that console was also popular among people who never owned a console before and they all bought Mario Kart instead of Smash Bros. GameCube was for real Gamers so Melee sold better. And back in the 64 era Smash was more of a niche title still. Simple as.

>>9944928
It was pretty disappointing after the previous entries in the series.

>>9944928
Because it was made on a piece of shit console

>>9944928
This was MK8 before MK8DX happen

>>9945349
But enough about the Normie "Fuck JRPGS" 64

>>9944971
Really? I see more fags fellate MK64 and MKWii more nowadays
Guess it's a generation thing

>>9944928
boomer here, 8 and Wii are the best
double dash is still better than Shitendo ShitstyFour but its worse than the 2 mentioned
snes and gba karts sucked

That game had a Crash Clone. They were both great!

A Cartoon Network one too. It was released when all the shows featured had already been cancelled.

Because everyone either slept on Gamecube entries or bashed them to no end back then for being different. It's only recently that people are warming up to Gamecube entries and prices are going up as a result.
There are still people who are eternally salty about the system launching with Luigi's Mansion.
