There seems to be a similar general demographic of late 30’s to early 40’s users here… (could easily be my confirmation bias saying that). I was around for Napster, GeoCities, MySpace, Yahoo, Mama, AoL, AiM, and if you are ~40yo, you likely were in this same wave of broad scale adoption of the internet by average Joe jr public in the latest 90’s and early naughties. We are the first group where digital life is the rule, not the exception(s) and early adopters; the first gen of internet grandparents… How does that legacy play out. /r
You say Mario Kart 64 for the age cred but we both know it will be double dash and I’m from pre SNES Mario Kart era.
There is no pre SNES Mario Kart era, the first Mario Kart was for the SNES…
Yeah I know I mean my first console was an atari first racing game was RC Pro Am for the nes.
Mario kart Wii
What features pushed you over to Wii. I was not a fan of the giro driving for Wii. But I’m interested in your thoughts .
I’m just progressing the plot. I don’t really have Mario kart preference.
You didn’t have to use motion control, but MKWii has motorcycles that actually had a mechanic that set them apart from the karts. They killed it on the switch, but you used to be able to pop a wheelie that would increase speed while making turns hard. Great for a boost on straightaways. The downside is the karts would bump you all over the course. MK8 motorcycles are just a slightly different stat than the karts. No real advantage or disadvantage.
