Meh! In my opinion, Mario Kart 64 was sloppy. It shoulda had a whole lot more work put into it before it was realeased.

exactly my thoughts. the graphics were pathetic for instance.

Oh yeah, I mean, the 20-odd completly different (not to mention amazingly designed) tracks, the amazing control, great graphics, and gameplay that is out of this world must of taken them about one rushed week. :p

tracks - yup, they were good
control - acceptable
graphics - WORSE than mario64, u call that amazing? :p
gameplay - not even a sign of ai for the opponents, frustration factor high

result = sloppy :p

man, i loved the snes version :inlove:

Well, OK. The tracks were pretty good, I'll admit there's some great stuff there. The control felt all wrong to me, it was too loose, not responsive enough. Could've just been my worn out old pad though;) As far as graphics go, I can understand them going with 2D sprites for speed reasons, but to have them look that bad? They were constantly blurred and out of focus, and you can see the nasty jagged edges. Yuck. The levels on the other hand, were very nice indeed:)

what disturbed me is that it didnt even use some standard gfx features of the n64 that were in mario64 already (*cough* transparent water *cough*) - and yes, really ugly sprites.

mario kart 64 can hardly be described as the worst game ever, but that said diddy kong racing was a lot better. besides, its all a matter of personal preferance, personaly i cant stand pokemen (for all i know the games might be great, but i dont intend to find out).

OK, fair points. But 4-player Mario Kart owns..

Anyway, can we carry this discussion over to the `Mario Kart v Diddy Kong Racing` thread.. Ta.. :D

About half the Pokémon games are really great, fun and original. Red and Blue for example, they rocked. But then the other half are cheap cash-ins that are just there to bleed money from poor parents with young children. Yellow, Gold, Silver and Crystal would fall into that category ;)

As for the N64 games? Stadium is pretty good, but the novelty of seeing Blastoise and Charizard modelled in 3D dies after about an hour of playing. Unless you're one of the obsessive sorts who goes through the game and selects every damned Pokémon just to see what it looks like... then it might stretch to an afternoon ;)

Puzzle League I haven't played yet, but from what I've seen it looks like good old Tetris Attack got raped backwards by those damned Pichu. The end result most likely sucks, so I'll be sticking with the SNES version there too :p

Snap was a really, really lame game. Actually, was Snap even a game? I swear that thing lasted an afternoon at the most, and that's only cos I couldn't aim the damned Apples well enough to lure Pikachu to the Zapdos egg to turn the lights on in the Power Plant so I could take a photo of a bunch of shadows that looked something like a goddamn Pinser to unlock the 'secret level' and get a photo of a Mew. Whoop-dee-dooo!

So anyway, what was I saying? Forget it, Pokémon Snap sucks butt, that's all you need :D

the strange thing is that the underlying pokemon tv-series has some jokes that are too sophisticated for its target group to understand. :sly: (im not kidding) but imo the games were simply a way to milk more money out of the concept. not to think of all the trading cards, toys, [insert useless shit here] ... hell, what am i saying, pokemon as is is designed to milk money.

pika!

that's like the way the Anamainics was with the jokes. same as Pinky and the Brain. with the jokes that young kids didn't get and their parents laughed silly at. anyway to tie it in im saying that im pretty sure that they made an anamainics game that sucked

Same thing could be said about "Dexter`s Laboratory" and "The PowerPuff Girls", they have some real mature jokes in those shows, although they are intentionally made for kids. I like these kind of stuff, in video games too...
