Super Mario Kart (SNES) - Wiiware with online play and Wii Wheel support

Now ive got your attention... :D

Would anyone here pay for it if Nintendo released it?

I would have thought witht he launch of the WiiWare service, it would be possible and would allow Nintendo to "modify" older games as their own policy appears to keep VC games as original as possible.

1- If it is released they should never change it, bar online play, like how SNES9X handles online play.

2- So many peoples rose tinted specs would be shattered that even I wouldn't find it funny.

3- You're an ass for getting people excited like that :(
 
I agree about the Rose tinted glasses thing, I think its safe to say that other games have aged better.

HOWEVER, SMK SNES did offer something different so would be nice to have that option.
 
mods - delete the thread!

Not that I want MK to be released but the idea of Nintendo re-releasing titles with added functionality does excite me.
 
FAIL! of biblical proportions! :(

If they did release it the only thing I'd want them to add is online play, nothing else. tbh not even bothered about wii-wheel support.

wii wheel support wouldn't work as SNES MK only had digital steering, you're either steering full left, full right or not at all and that doesn't translate to wii style controls without butchering the game.
 
Why not do both. Release a classic version with the only thing added online which would have to be excellent. Also release a beefed up version but not sure how they would do this. Better gfx may be ruin it.

My dream would to have every single track from every mario kart available on the wii version or a wiiware version so you could have snes mario kart 'rules'.

But i doubt any of the above as it would be too much trouble for nintendo.

The SNES version is the best version of Mario Kart IMO. I'm not sure how well it would work with the wheel tho, I'd ask for the original controls also for us hardcore types. :D
 
OP - I hate you.

What I really want is a MK update that follows the Super Mario Kart formula, rather than MK64. It's never going happen unfortunately.

What is the Super Mario kart formula? It seems the DS version is not far off as it requires the most skill and items are all avoidable bar lightening.
 
How is the spiny shell avoidable in MKDS, apart from by dropping behind a few places (itself not always possible in some circumstances)?

You can dodge it. Search youtube for "blue shell dodge". It involves drifting, then as the shell comes overhead you boost and jump to get out of the blast radius. I've tried it a couple of times and not got the knack yet, but it can certainly be done.
