Good. Maybe now someone can mod it so it isn't the worst Mario Kart in the series
comforts you
Hey, it's ok buddy. It's alright to have bad opinions sometimes...doesn't make you a bad person.
I'm probably gonna get flack for this, but, based take, no clue what everyone else is on about. Must just be nostalgia bias, I remember the whole internet singing the praises of MK64 a decade ago, but like, it is really ass compared to any other game in the franchise.
For anyone who thinks 64 is better than SMK and SC, check out this video and then come back to me. (granted, video doesn't talk about SC, but like, SC is just an improved version of SMK)
For anyone who thinks 64 is better than Tour.... fair point, but like, the only reason Tour is so bad is cause Mobile. Outside of that, it's not that bad.
For anyone who thinks 64 is better than 7.... why? The only thing bad with 7 is it's lack of a single player VS mode. Outside of that, 7 is a pretty good game, although outshined by 8 in every way.
For anyone who thinks 64 is better than World, chill out, World ain't even out yet, ok.
For anyone who thinks 64 is better than DD, DS, Wii, 8, or 8DX, I know you're trolling at that point.
Even still, 64 is still not that bad, and I can probably come up with at least half a dozen worse racing games off the top of my head. I'm really excited to see how people use this decomp to actually make 64 a good game.
It's def nostalgia bias. It is truly terrible.
I hated on it for so long, but i eventually came around and i kinda like it now.
It is still the worst In the Series lol
You take that back.
no
I know the driving is bad, the ai is bad, and it’s full of glitches but worse than Super Mario Kart and Mario Super Circuit?
Never played super circuit
OG Super Mario Kart is a banger all day long and you know it
Super Circuit is basically SMK but better. It even includes all tracks from SMK.
I think so
Wii, Super Circuit, and 7 exist, so your argument doesn't hold water.
Sure it isn't Double Dash, but it's definitely not the worst.
Wii is one of the best.
Super Circuit is still better.
I'll give you 7. It's down there
But the driving is terrible and so is the AI and so are the tracks
That's my opinion of Wii, but Wii also introduced bikes which have also stained each subsequent entry so it gets my vote for the worst in the series.
No co-op championship made it DOA for me. Maybe someone can mod that in at some point.
You should play MK7 if you think 64 is bad.
7 is one of the best wdym
What? The best are Wii, DD and 8DX. Even for a handheld game, 7 is terrible. It's nowhere near as good as DS and has less content than SC. 64 and SMK aren't much better but at least are not significantly worse than what came before.
Obviously they are all bad compared to CTR or Sega Racing Transformed but that's another discussion.
They can both be bad
True, but 7 is worse.
