  • Whenever I had friends over back in the early 2000s, Mario Kart: Double Dash was our game of choice (that and Donkey Konga). And though more than 12 years have passed since the game's release, we'll still play this classic racer together whenever we find the chance. It's fast racing gameplay is what keeps us coming back, but it turns out that "fast" was not a term the described this game at E3 2003. In fact, "disappointing" and "slow" were common terms to describe Double Dash during development. So, how did the development team fix these issues? Well, on this episode of Beta64, I'll tell you all about it.
    Enjoy!

    About the speedometer, it looks like the numbers were still in metric and hadn't yet been changed from the Japanese version... but the "km/h" graphic had already been replaced.
    200 miles = 320 kilometers, which means the cannon stayed the same throughout development.
    And that cruising speed of 75-80 km/h is roughly 45-50 mph, which lines up with the claims of the prototype being slower than the final.

    Ah.. Double Dash. While I consider 8 to be the best of the series, Double Dash holds a special place in my heart. My family was going through a rough spot, and all we had were each other. My brother and I LOVED the two-player kart option, and I would spend the race as the driver while my brother was the "gunner." We were very coordinated, and he would often use the "attack" option to save us from trouble! I recall numerous instances where he had saved our skins from a pit or incoming item using the attack!

      I agree too. I have to give the best title to 8 just because of more courses and fantastic online play, I mean, it came out like 10+ years later and had so much room for improvement. But Double Dash has to be second on my list.

    • @Jordan3DS
      @Jordan3DS 8 лет назад +11

      Omar Mohammed I attribute that to the fact that they know that any trailer is going to piss fans off royally... Double Dash was easy to fix because it just involved upping the speed factor, but Color Splash would involve a lot more renovation to make it a better game, which I don't think they'd have time for if they want a Summer release. I hate to say it, but Nintendo gains more from releasing Color Splash as a hated mess of a game than changing tables and making it at least decent. With two horrible Paper Mario games in a row, hype for a "true" Paper Mario game will be through the roof when Paper Mario NX is announced, more so than if they went Sticker Star (terrible) to Color Splash (decent). Color Splash being awful actually helps the series in a weird sort of way, as even if it were like Thousand Year Door, nobody would buy it since it's on Wii U. A good NX sequel will do MUCH better than a good Wii U sequel.

    • @omo7002

    I'm not going to lie, Beta64. Double Dash did have a lot of great memories for me and as a result, it is my second favorite Mario Kart in the series, right behind 64. I can credit 8 for its amazing DLC, but to me, the game doesn't need it, but it helped a lot for my enjoyment to build up.
    And...wow, Nintendo actually listening to the feedback for Double Dash? Man, I love Iwata as a family member in my book, but...I'm hoping the new president will turn things around and make the company a legend again.

    It has nothing to do with nostalgia, this game is genuinely great. it has way too few tracks but the fact that you can play with someone like that is absolutely incredible and they really really need to add that feature to newer Mario games it was so much fun and the other person didn't have to have as much skill and you could work together instead of against each other

    7:15 - Just doing some rough calculations, it appears that the speedometer is in the beta is in kilometres per hour despite the speedo saying 'mph'; 320 km/h is 199 mph. This would make sense as Japan uses kilometres per hour rather than miles per hour.

      Well they listened to Super Smash Bros fans, and look at that: the GameCube to Wii U Adapter was released publicly, brand new characters, stages and music that was demanded by the fans. Stop criticizing about the little mistakes that this company makes. They are working at their best to produce high quality games.

Also the unique cars was awesome. This game has so much replay value from my childhood and beyond here's to double dash!

  • @bummer6
    @bummer6 8 лет назад +16

    I like your videos, but in my opinion, you could focus a bit less on HUD elements... As someone who has worked in game development, those things tend to be placeholders up until the game is 99% complete, so comparing them between screenshots shown at gaming conventions isn't really interesting since it tends to change constantly on a weekly basis until something sticks. What's more interesting to me is the gameplay changes and changed in-game models and textures since those tend to be a bit harder to change and therefore carry a bit more weight.

      The fact they don't now is present alone in the fact they are willingly throwing away praise, and money by not making Waluigi a game, and not even giving fans the constantly requested addition of Waluigi in Smash. They are so determined to do things how THEY want to that they willingly throw away feedback,suggestions, and constant requests from the fans, seeming like they'd rather have no money than money from something they have a childish vendetta against.
      Like, seriously, Waluigi fluxes between the second, and first favorite character in the Mario universe, and they STILL would rather exclude him for personal hate than actually use him in some requested, or eventful way. Nintendo are a bunch of children that want it their way, or no way half the time, and Waluigi hate in the company is just one of many examples.Rule one of a company, you put the customer's wants above your own. ALWAYS. Money is more important than a personal grudge in that situation.

I also played Pac-Man Versus and man were those the best games I have ever played at that haircut place!!
