Nintendo Life: Taking a bunch of Mario characters and having them speed around race circuits using a range of special items to rush or smash past each other is something that has worked very well since the Mario Kart series began in 1992. The games are amongst the most enjoyable on whatever platform they turn up on, and many people buying Nintendo hardware look forward to the inevitable karting action that will be appearing on their system. To not release a new Mario Kart would be a foolish move akin to ignoring F-Zero for over ten years, bringing out an amiibo-focussed Animal Crossing board game in lieu of a regular series entry or charging money for Urban Champion. The Wii U, of course, has the brilliant Mario Kart 8 whilst backwards compatibility and Virtual Console releases have made a number of the earlier games available too; the latest eShop arrival being Mario Kart 64.
Nintendo's beloved racing series has been around for more than three decades, but which are the best Mario Kart games?
Want to know what the best selling N64 games of all time are? Here's the top ten list, with many fan favourites and a couple of surprises.
Never understood what 64 meant. Can anyone enlighten me? All I know is my neighborhood friends and I used to play the crap out of it. Favorite games were Cool Boarders, Mario kart 64, WCW vs NWO just to name a few. Man life was simple and good.
A fan project allows Mario Kart 64 fans to experience one of the most prominent games in Nintendo history in HD.
Can't wait for Nintendo to strike it down, sue the makers, then sell the work to us for $50.
"this mod also has a low chance of removal due to copyright reasons."
Not sure how they came to that conclusion when the GitHub has copyrighted assets in the form of PNG files. Get it while you can.
Looks cool, but Nintendo will shut this down faster than you can say “it’s a me, Mario!” in your best Italian accent.
So many bitter little people on this site, personally I doubt Nintendo really care about your comments anyway.
