I'm more excited for this game than I can say. Diddy Kong Racing was so much better than Mario Kart ever was, and had so much more to offer. This one looks great, and I'm sure to buy it ASAP.
Discuss.
Revealed and I hope to Christ it's online.
Also, I don't know who it's being developed by. Unlikely to be Rare:(
It has to be online. I can't see it NOT being a Wifi game.
Glad to see they're reviving it. Sure the multiplayer lacked when compared to MK64, but the single-player was really great, and that's what I'm looking forward to in the new DKDS. Here's hoping they deliver on both excellent single-player AND superior Wifi.
During the presentation I remember seeing "Wifi compatiable" or something to that extent.
But yeah, hopefully it's something new! And not a rehash of the N64 version. Probably do what they did with MK: DS
I'm betting this won't be a huge seller, because quite a few gamers have not even heard of the game, and it might seem like a cheap copy of Mario Kart. Which it isn't, but time will tell.
DKR had way more circuits than Mario Kart 64 did, and plus, most of them looked better.
Now, where's F-Zero DS?
I prefer Mario Kart very, very marginally.
I'm very interested about how much, if any, input Rare has to this.
It looks like Rare are developing DKR DS.

"A few tantalising DKR DS info-bites to keep you going: eight-player single-card and multi-card WiFi play, touch-screen and microphone compatibility, some familiar faces in newly playable form, remodelled and retextured tracks, customisable vehicles, new modes, weapons and challenges, a little something called TT's Wish Races where you can create your very own tracks... and it doesn't end there. "
I'm liking this already.
[quote=Vampiro]I'll assume you can trade those over Wifi and be very pleased with it.
woah
They'll have a heck of a time implementing that. If AW:DS couldn't hold more than 3 custom maps, they'll have to make some big technological jumps to make this work.
Oh yeah :(
diddy kong racing was the first n64 game I owned it will bring back so many memories.
The rom of AW: Dual Strike is only 8 megabytes, I believe - The biggest available size for DS games is 32 megs. There's hope.
i personally thought the first one sucked
id rather see ssb ds

Apparently it's not that great.
Is it basically a MK copy?
It's more of a Diddy Kong Racing copyport, with additional tracks, levels, music, etc. I'm curious about it, but there's no way I'll like it more than the Diddy on 64.
Lack of Banjo and Conker makes me sad. :(
CURSE YOU MICROSOFT!
But now we have Tiny and Dixie!!
They should've put K.Rool and Squawks in instead. :mad:
Tiptup stays, I don't complain.
Admit it, Diddy Kong Racing would not be cool without Tiptup.
I never cared for Tiptup. >_>
*Raises shield*
I don't care about this game. As I se it, I have no reason to get it as long as I have Mario Kart.
Well, this is replacing Mario Kart for me if it doesn't have anything akin to snaking.
If there's no snaking, how are you gonna get the edge on the people who snake?
Answer me that, hm?
What edge will there be to get if the snakers can't snake?
Mario Kart DS was so dull to me. There just wasn't enough to it. I think Diddy Kong Racing will be able to deliver.
Not saying Mario Kart is "better," DKR just sucks.
Nah, Blue Shells aren't too bad. You can dodge'em, as well as red shells, if you do a power slide boost at the right time. :)
yeah well, DKR is still superior and all. I liked the items system so much better. If you wanted something good, you had to work for it, instead of getting into latter places and owning everyone with lightning, etc. And, if you're in the lead, you're not left with crap like bananas every time. The four different items are constant, so I liked it.
...I dunno..I liked DKR :(
Calling DKR bad is spamming.
I see nothing has changed here.
Anyway, onto the point, this game ha spotential.
But as Dex said, it won't beat playing the N64 game.
No snaking i so much of a better thing.
Plus there is still advanced tactics without being...well, lame.
The old let og of the acceleration before boosting.
Sliding skillfully.
And more!
k so I've been playing this a bit today.
Four characters are locked - I'm guessing Drumstick and TT are two, but the others...? Who knows. Also Banjo and Conker seem to be missing. Replaced with Dixie and Tiny Kong. Voice acting for the characters is a little weird.
A few things are different in Adventure - There's a neat little intro movie thing (not fmv), and I'm assuming it doesn't change no matter what character you choose.
There are loading screens, no matter how odd that might seem for a DS game. However, they only seem to stick around for a second; usually less.
Taj has a tent where he used to only have an emblem.
As for the race mechanics - Largely the same, with a few new weapons and an odd little boost feature involving the touchscreen.
Not just a port; more than a remake... Can't wait until Wifi is up for this title. :)
wait
It's out?!
I need to get, ASAP. :O It looks so rad.
Actually, it isn't out yet. :)
stfu >=O
k, two days, apparently. I can't wait. I watched some videos on IGN, and I'm psyched.
LOL SPOILERS:
The two new secret characters are Wizpig and Taj ;|
AIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D
Sorry to wreck the party dudes, but I had to say goodbye!
Um...
What?
I was expressing excitement, and then promptly quoting the might Wizpig when he infiltrates the DKR faux-end party.
Brilliant.
so its this a rent buy or pass?
If you've played the original and love it, it's definitely a buy.
If you haven't played it - I still recommend it. I prefer it to Mario Kart so far.
But does it have online?
Game sucks. Not even a rental.
Definitely not a fan of the first, so I probably won't be picking this up. But I may just try it out for the hell of it.
Man, DKR rocked so much harder than MK64. If I were to buy a DS, it'd be for this game.
It's not as good as people remember it. It's like Perfect Dark.
I still play it on N64, and it's still great.
Also, PD is just as good as I remember it. So is OoT and Mario 64 and Goldeneye. The only game that is not as good as I remember it Banjo Kazooie.:p:

take yer pick.
DKR wasnt as good as Mario Kart. DKR's multi was awful.
THIS GAME BECOMES SLIGHTLY LESS FUN WHEN BOTH YOUR BLOODY SHOULDER BUTTONS ARE BROKEN.
I think every game on the planet becomes slightly less fun (or other varying degrees of less fun) when certain buttons your controller(s)/handheld don't work.
Well, it's a good game, needless to say. However, I still haven't used a bloody item. :mad:
Nonetheless, I still love it. But yes, not being able to use your L button puts a damper on things. Taj's voice change is ridiculous, but a lot more has been worked into this than I expected. I'm thoroughly disappointed that the Silver Coin Challenge was replaced by the pathetically easy "balloon touch", even though Silver Coin Challenge is still there, but optional. I like the idea of being able to upgrade your vehicles, although it sometimes gives too much of an advantage. I have yet to try out the super items, because, no L button. ;|
Anyway, I do love it. I plan to buy the four new tracks soon, and see what I can do to unlock the secret characters. Unfortunately, I can't get the Dino Domain key because you need a boost. ;| But once I beat the trophy races, it's off to Space with me.
Mash your shoulder buttons about a million times to see if they start working again. Works for me. :cookie:
In game or out of game? :(
Anyway, I have. I can get R to work most of the time, but that fails because R is mostly useless in this game, save for plane veering and hovercraft hopping.
just do a light tap, I haven't even used mine yet and I've had my new baby for almost a month now. I don't even play Mario Kart anymore. :(
Well, I'm not taking any advice on how hard or light to tap it, to tap it multiple times, etc. ;| All subjects in L-button tapping have been thoroughly explored on all degrees. I'll try that charging thing.
For the time being, I've been using my cousin's. DKRDS is quite a splendid game when it works!
Turns out: It sucks. Go figure.
Lies. Reviews weren't so great, but I like it. :(
It's a good game if you liked the original. If
A) You haven't played the original
B) Are trying to compare it to Mario Kart
it might suck.
I've played the original and it still sucks.
Do you ever stop?
that's what your girlfriend said.
oh wai- lol
k, I'll stop.
Final Fantasy 7 is bad
FFVII really sucks.
Guys Final Fantasy VII is the worst game I've ever played.
See how annoying it can get?
post
double post
triple post
SEE HOW ANNOYING I CAN BE lol gimme attention
Halo 2 sucks :3
Just because Klarth spams a topic doesn't mean y'all have to. :mad:
YES IT DOES. Didn't you get the memo?
