Re: Mario Kart DS vs Mario Kart Wii vs Mario Kart 7
I really like MKDS because I've managed to play it enough to have no trouble on 150cc Hard, except for when your hit with 3 Blue Shells in a row or Red Shells, it happens alot to me as well which sucks. And yes, I snake in MKDS. It's not really a bad thing to snake, since it just shows that you've taken the time to learn how.
MKWii was great, I still play it with friends over Wi-Fi and the tracks were very interesting, it also brought Tricks in which make it much more fun. It's a good game but it's not something I'll just play in spare time, its only something I play with friends. The drifiting on it is hard with the Wii Wheel so I never learnt (Fun Controls > Boring Controls) and unlike MKDS, I never bothered to finish 150cc since it was boring me.
MK7 looks great, lack of single player VS Mode will suck because I'm the kind of person to play a track I feel like playing and thats it. But the new tracks and Glider/Submarine parts will keep me occupied while I learn how to use them to their full potential. My only gripe is that all the characters are unlocked in 150cc which means I'm puzzled between playing it in order or going straight to 150cc to unlock characters. I'm leaning more on the side of in order.
