I just saw a commercial for Diddy Kong Racing DS, I didn't even know that this game was coming out. It looked like just a port, but then I noticed they had Diddy Kong's girlfriend, I don't remember her in the first game. Is that the only change? I imagine they would take out Banjo and Conker since those characters are on the Xbox now.

It's the same game except with some character swaps (due to legal things i'd imagine), and DS gimmicks, and online play

And custom track editor.

I am actually pretty excited for this title.

if it were CTR -- y'know, a GOOD mascot kart racer -- i might be excited

DKR is leagues ahead of CTR and you know it. DKR is THE shit.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #8 on:** February 04, 2007, 12:48:07 PM »

CTR is what DKR *would* be if it were competently designed, directed, and programmed.

I read CTR would be DKR if it were competently designed, directed and programmed. And you're right. You're like the lone CTR fan too.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #10 on:** February 04, 2007, 01:19:47 PM »

no way. MAF will back me on this one, too. CTR spanks all other kart racers, especially DKR. does DKR even have any fans?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #11 on:** February 04, 2007, 01:21:05 PM »

DKR was one of the best selling titles on the N64 and rocked. Hard. It was challenging and awesome and had PLANES.

I think you thinking of Mario Kart 64.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #12 on:** February 04, 2007, 01:25:15 PM »

Cruisin USA was one of the best selling titles on the N64. Fuck, War Gods broke 200K -- N64 fools were STARVED for content.

DKR was 15 fps and featured generic anthropomorphic animal mascots even Naughty Dog would sneer at. I'm starting to suspect you might be a wee bit, y'know, ninthing, sir! (Do you prefer Timber the Tiger or Happy Boo the Bear?)

I prefer it over Mario Kart 64 at least

But play it on the DS? No thanks

I only bought Mario Kart DS because it was the hot new title for the DS during its HUGE DROUGHT

Were I to get a DS now, Mario Kart wouldn't even be on my radar

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #14 on:** February 04, 2007, 01:32:50 PM »

Drinky never played DKR, obviously!

I'm waiting to see if some of the tweaks on the single player have hurt the game, but otherwise, I'll probably get it.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #15 on:** February 04, 2007, 01:45:21 PM »

you didn't answer my question!

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #16 on:** February 04, 2007, 02:21:18 PM »

A lot of people like CTR. I haven't played it, though.

DKR doesn't go at 15fps. I was replaying it the other day, the frame rate was pretty steady. I'm sure it'll drop during some later boss or something, but it seemed pretty smooth.

How many players are supported online? If it's 8 I'll forever laugh at Nintendo

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #18 on:** February 04, 2007, 02:30:31 PM »

All I know is that it has Wi-Fi 6 player battle mode, which was absent from Mario Kart.

Also, this game runs at 30 fps.

Yeti · « **Reply #19 on:** February 04, 2007, 02:34:27 PM »

I liked Diddy Kong Racing more than Mario Kart 64, and it's adventure mode made for a tolerable one player experience, which I can't really say about any other racing game.

And drinky, my favorite character of Diddy Kong Racing was the turtle.

Who was your favorite character of Crash Team Racing? The only characters I know of are Crash, girl Crash, and ugly bighead professor guy.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #20 on:** February 04, 2007, 02:35:53 PM »

Yeah, the single player unlocking mechanism was grand too. Battle mode was awesome. Hovercrafts made for much profanity.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #21 on:** February 04, 2007, 02:52:42 PM »

6 player...battle mode...WI FI? wow

Nintendo...

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #22 on:** February 04, 2007, 04:00:34 PM »

DKR runs at the same frame rate Zelda TOoT did, which is 15 fps. It looks like a choppy mess.

Enjoy Tumble the Turtle and Tooter the Tiger, hummos!

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #23 on:** February 04, 2007, 04:31:11 PM »

Source? OoT's frame rate looks visibly bad to me, DKR doesn't. How are you so sure?

The Sceneman · « **Reply #24 on:** February 04, 2007, 04:43:12 PM »

DKR shits all over any other cart racer
