Lol. Once you master that shortcut on Rainbow Road (at least in Mario Kart 64), the track becomes a piece of cake - even if it's still way too long. On the Super Nintendo though? God, it was a bitch.

Still, good article idea. I say 'idea' because I haven't really played any of the other tracks (could some one else comment on Nurburing and the GT4 track?), but it's good to see more hardcore focussed articles like this one.

F*CK RAINBOW ROAD, I ALWAYS FALL OFF

NoBias5056d ago

WipeOut should have many tracks on this list though. MANY.

pustulio5056d ago

Lol rainbow road is so easy.

Myze5055d ago

@NoBias

I would second that about WipeOut. Taken from all the games, the list could be 1-5 all WipeOut tracks.

I've never needed to take the shortcut, most of the people I raced against often kept falling off the track leaving me able to win easily, it's not that hard to stay on the track.

Not surprised Nordeschleife/Nurburgring got on their. To me it's a lot of fun and kind of easy, but I've done probably over a hundred laps if not much more around that place. To be good their, you need to know the track inside and out not to mention it's in the neighborhood of 14 miles in length. But I did have fun in the IA license in GT4 and went around "The Green Hell" in my 3rd try and only 10 sec off from gold.

There's some tough tracks in wipeout as well, can't remember their names though. The last track in the first Wipeout was a bitch to complete.

PSboy5056d ago

All the memories of me being annoyed at the Rainbow Road track when i was 5 :)

RedPawn5056d ago

Heaven or Hell track on Jet Moto.

The Best Selling N64 Games of All Time

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.

Ninver384d ago

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.

Mario Kart 64 Is Now Available In HD Graphics

A fan project allows Mario Kart 64 fans to experience one of the most prominent games in Nintendo history in HD.

MadLad513d ago

Can't wait for Nintendo to strike it down, sue the makers, then sell the work to us for $50.

CobraKai513d ago

I think the disagrees stem from the $50. It’ll be $60.

Duke19513d ago

And converted back to non-HD

ZeekQuattro512d ago

It's on the expansion pass already and Mario Kart 8 sells millions every quarter. I think Nintendo will be fine.

MadLad512d ago

I figured with something like this Nintendo would do right by the gamers and sell it at a deep discount lol.

Knushwood Butt512d ago

And sell an overpriced, painted plastic toy as a tie in.

Nintendo is helpless if they upload it as a torrent and share it. Once it's on a torrent site Nintendo can't do shit about it. ROMs have been there for so many years, and it will continue to do so, and I will be there to take it all and post links directly to Nintendo and laugh about it, with my VPN of course 🤣

Yui_Suzumiya512d ago

I was coming here to make this comment, lol

z2g513d ago (Edited 513d ago )

Lol. Meanwhile the rest of the world moved on to 4k years ago.

Number1TailzFan512d ago

The last 1-2 years maybe, unless you didn't care about having a high refresh rate.

MadLad512d ago

I've been running 4k for a long time now, but I'm on PC.
Switch rarely gives you decent resolution or a solid framerate.

Number1TailzFan512d ago

MadLad i didn't go 4k until we had high refresh rate screens, which also had better pixel response times. I originally went 1080p 120hz in 2012, then 1440p high refresh with gsync in 2017 and last year i went with the 4k LG 27GP950. I didn't want to go backwards on refresh rate. I realise we had 4k monitors a while ago but they were all at 60hz.

anubusgold512d ago

4k is stupid low fps and less detail because consoles cant really handle it without using tricks like checker boarding.

Sgt_Slaughter512d ago (Edited 512d ago )

65.06% of Steam users are using 1080p
11.34% use 1440p
5.70% use 1366 x 768
.
.
.
2.60% for 4K

So no, they haven't. 4K is still for enthusiasts and the ultra hardcore. The rest don't care.

Kombatologist512d ago

"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.

Orchard512d ago

Looks cool, but Nintendo will shut this down faster than you can say “it’s a me, Mario!” in your best Italian accent.

Einhander1971512d ago

So many bitter little people on this site, personally I doubt Nintendo really care about your comments anyway.

badz149512d ago

Nintendo doesn't even care about their fans, let alone the booing noise regarding how anti-consumer and scummy they are. they only listen to the path that leads to more money with the least amount of effort and investment possible.
