The joys of Nintendo January 29, 2006

I recently bought a Nintendo DS and, at approximately the same time, a copy of Jump Super Stars for the DS. The DS itself is fantastic; it is a great shade of “electric blue” and isn’t as ungainly as I previously thought. Because importing a game takes time, I picked up a copy of Mario Kart DS at the time of purchase in order to have something other than GBA games to play with until Jump Super Stars came.
Mario Kart DS is a fantastic game. Take the gameplay style of the N64 version, mix it with the graphics of the new version, add a whole bunch of courses from all the games in the series, then add an online multiplayer mode. The game is easily the best of the Mario Kart series, and easily one of the best handheld games ever. The game in single player is good enough to shine, and the ONLINE multiplayer mode is just genius. Play against anyone in the world who also has the game, at any time, with very little lag! (more…)
