And this would be impressive if only it had online support!

Yeah what the hell. Why did Nintendo even make a ethernet adapter for ****s sake? Still going to be a cool game though.

I think this game will rock. I mean, 16 players, that's just cool. But yeah, as you guys said, there's no online support, which does suck a lot.

How do you play 16 on it? Buy an ethernet deal for each and stick them all on a hub or what? I'm looking a buying 2 Gamecubes just because of this game.

Yeah...I was thinking the same thing...16 people without networking..
16 people via split screen??? Ouch..That would be hard to play...

All of the four GC's will require the ethernet adapters--$$$. That's $35 a piece.
Fook--the PS2/Xbox had seperate link cables that were a bit cheaper.
Of course using the ethernet adapter will mean "tunneling" can happen.
Which means if you wish to hassle with it you can get it online.

Well, I haven't heard anything official on how to hook it up from Nintendo yet. I think the game is supposed to come out in November. I believe the maximum amount of cars on the track at one time is 8, but you can team up with another person on each car for a total of 16 players simultaneously.

Ok, now I'm really confused. Check out this article:
http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/driving/supermariokartworkingtitle/preview_6075353.html
Does this mean you can play four people on one cube, but if you want to play on a lan only two per cube can play?
The screenshot below shows a fourplayer game, but I have a feeling it is on just one cube.
http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/driving/supermariokartworkingtitle/screens.html?page=64
I was hoping for up to 8 people to be able to play with two cubes, two etherner adapters, and a hub. It's going to suck if only 4 people can play against each other even with 2 cubes. Please, someone tell me that this isn't the case.

mario kart on SNES ruled, greatest game ever! well almost...but best game on a console. played the N64 version via an emulator back when i had a voodoo2, didn't like it...nothing like the snes version.

At least they dropped the price on the cubes down to $100. I'm going to need to buy 4 of the damn things, 4 more controllers, 4 ethernet cards, and 4 copies of Mario Kart Double Dash to play with eight people. Maybe they will have a Kart bundle near the release of the game.

Why would you need 4 GC's to play 8 player. That wouldn't make the slightest bit of sense. 4 controller ports for each cube.
Schmunkel98
10-02-2003, 02:35 PM
You can only play 2 people per cube in lan mode. You can play 4 people split screen on one cube. You can't have two cubes both playing 4 people split screen via lan. I hope this changes, but I doubt it.

None of those shots or movies show more than 4 human players playing at a time. I guess I'll have to wait until it comes out, buy 2 cubes, 2 games, and 6 extra controllers to figure it out.

I think the only LAN setup they had for the test drive was 2 cubes and 2 controllers at each cube. I think you can do 4 people per cube for a total of 8 with 2 cubes. I've checked on the Nintendo forums and that's what everyone has said. If not, guess I'll have to get 2 more cubes.

Oh, I forgot you were talking about lan setup. Hopefully there can be four to per cube. Hey, there only $99 anyway, so what the hell.:)

There's even a co-op mode where two people can be in the same kart. Must be hard though.

It seems innovative, but I don't think it'd be fun.

if i was nintendo i wouldn't implement the ability to play 4 people per cube! not when there are so many people willing to go buy 3 or 4 extra gamecubes, i'd rather have $350 for game/3 cubes than just $50, you?

Are you kidding? Think of all the people freaking out just because each player needs a GBA to play Crystal Chronicles, and calling Nintendo money grubbing assholes because of that. Now think of how these same people will feel if they can only play Mario Kart multiplayer if each player has a gamecube, a copy of the game, a controller, and a TV to play it on.

Console sales aren't where the real profit lies with Nintendo. They would make more money by selling more copies of the game, then they would by selling more cubes.

Yes, nintendo is starting to get on my nerves with these ridiculous requirements for multiplayer. Especially with final fantasy cc. Each person has to have a gba, that's just obsurd(I will be getting one though,lol). And nintendo knows that the games are so good that people will run out and get the extra gba's and cube's just to play.

true, all the parts to make a cube cost money, they might be only making a few bucks at the most off a cube, but a disc is a piece of plastic, if they are getting $40 to $50 for each one thats a lot of money

Getting 3 other people with GBAs is NOT a hard thing to do. The GBA is the current #1 selling console right now, after all. Getting 3 other people willing to spend over $500 on equipment (cube, tv, game) is just stupid, and nobody will ever do that.

Well, hardly any of my friends have gba's. So well just have to borrow them from people who do. i'm sure we can find some.

Yep. With the original GBA I couldn't see a thing. I paid $79.99 for it and I barely used it, 'cause I couldn't see the games. When I got the SP, it's game time everywhere (it's portable) and every time (I'm hooked).

Oh hellz yeah. First off, its got a light, the GBA is almost impossible to see unless you're in direct sunlight, and that damages the screen. Second, its got a rechargable battery built-in; no more $$ wasted on batteries! Third, its new design is incredibly portable, you can bring it anywhere easily, break it out, and have a blast.
