>> No.3615769

Fuck yeah it does.

If only for the great battle mode but I also really enjoy the mechanics, character balance and circuit design. I've spent a lot of hours beating my ghosts in trial mode and had genuinely fun. I also did this recently, I didn't care about it back when I was a kid, I only played it with friends sometimes but didn't care too much about it as I did with other games that I liked more back then.
Went back to it recently and enjoyed it fully. I didn't even know how to drift back then. I couldn't read english back when I was a kid so I never read the manual in detail. So it's not nostalgia for me, the game holds up pretty well.
Probably visually is better to use a CRT, because I imagine the sprites and 3D maps would clash a lot on modern HD screens.

It was great at the time but there's little reason to go back to it now with so many great sequels, I suppose the battle stages are worth revisiting.

It always bugged me how there was no music in multiplayer but that was Nintendo's decision to have no dedicated sound chip biting them in the ass I'd imagine.

It's straight-up magic on a CRT, it never even occurred to me I was looking at sprites as a kid. It was designed with the hardware in mind though, even the Wii virtual console release upscales it and makes it pretty obvious.

Mario Kart is one of the few few series where I actually like the newer ones as much or better than the retro ones. The retro ones are still very good, too.

i can see why it'd bore players used to the newer ones but imo it's kind of got this perfect simplicity to it. the courses are all very memorable and fun to get good at and the roster's small enough for you to get accustomed to how every character feels. idk ever since double dash the games have felt kinda bloated to me. the wiiu one is just nonsense in that regard. it has so much shit in it that nothing feels memorable and the anti-grav gimmick feels really contrived and unsubstantial to me.

Handles like you're turning the map, rather than driving a car, with weird acceleration and drift momentum, and while the character sprites look alright, the flatass mode 7 tracks look bad

>> No.3616452

>>3615615
The new ones are obviously better but 64 is still fun. I still think it's a blast to play today with friends. Great tracks and block fort is as fun as it was 20 years ago. My only complaint in the new ones is that in battle mode you play on race courses and not original arenas, really sucks. If possible go for the new ones but I wouldn't feel bad if 64 is all you have.

Actually Wario Stadium is my distant second least liked course after Rainbow Road.

I used to like it a great deal, but after becoming skilled at the game, you realize Stadium is too long, and if you get spread out there is too little opportunity to recover because the curves get in the way of all the items (unless you know the quirks of the game). To top it off, it's just a clusterfuck of shortcuts that require gentleman's agreements not to exploit (we still allow shortcuts around the final corner).

Nope. The newer games can be entertaining because of the controls, but they are ADD messes.
