Controls like a dream, and I actually really enjoy first person mode! Would never use it predominenetly but I will make use of it here and there, Im sure.

My internet is being gay right now so havent been online but we should definitely set up a day here soon!

So's your dancing right now. Shocked

Yeah, I have yet to see a game that offers a choice of views where first person works best. It's usually much more fun, but not so great if you actually want to do well. I'd prefer if they just didn't give you a choice and then geared the challenge of the game around that setup.

I can't wait to pick this up! I'll be playing it this Wednesday. Does the ability to customize the karts add an extra level of depth? For example I read that you can put on different tires to help you get an advantage. Some work better on dirt, others road, etc. And the flying and underwater racing...I'm assuming that all feels perfect (a welcome addition right?

The underwater segments are kinda neat but not as awesome as the gliders. Its freaking amazing. Controls are perfect. This is THE 3DS game to own.

A community should be first in order, but now I'm not so sure I'll be able to get it tomorrow. Sad

Subject: Re: Mariokart 7 First Impressions Wed Dec 07, 2011 6:37 am

I should be getting mine tomorrow! Very Happy

Great. Now everyone has it but me. I'm gonna get it today though.

I played it and it was enjoyable. I liked the idea of getting the coins to make your kart faster, but I got dissappointed that you only carry up to 10 which sucks in my terms. Still it was a very good game indeed. Smile

This game is literally killing me. I think perhaps the 3DS is just too small or shaped wrong for my hands. I think the corner of it must be digging into the meat of my palm just below my thumb which must be damaging the nerves or something, because my thumb gets tired way too quickly. I just can't play this game longer than one cup!

I'm tearing up the competition in this game online! I get first place 8 times out of every 10 races. I thank you guys and all those years of playing Mario Kart Wii online to help get my game up.

My left thumb aches just thinking about trying to compete online in this game...

It may sound silly, but the Circle Pad Pro makes the whole unit bigger and it is contoured to feel more comfortable in your hands. Maybe slap the 3DS in the Circle Pad Pro to play all games regardless of compatibility just so it isn't cramping your style.

I tried that, Streex. R-button fail.

Subject: Re: Mariokart 7 First Impressions Mon Jun 04, 2012 6:42 pm

Oh really? I haven't tried it yet with Mario Kart 7. I have tried it out with Resident Evil: Revelations and found it fairly functional but I can see how it might cause problems in Mario Kart 7, being that that R button is used more often and much quicker in the heat of gameplay.

That is actually the first thing I thought of when I saw it.

Subject: Re: Mariokart 7 First Impressions Sat Jun 09, 2012 8:16 am

I have been using the Racing Wheel while playing kart. Much more comfortable even when not using first person mode.

Subject: Re: Mariokart 7 First Impressions Tue Jun 19, 2012 2:51 pm

Yesterday was some awesome online racing with you guys! I think I like racing with you guys more than strangers online because the competition is too easy out there. I'm really battle tested when against the likes of the Ninfest Nation. Could it be that the best Kart racers in the world are all located right here???
