On the subject of previous Mario Kart's, I'd like to note that the general slide/speed boost combo is more in line with the Wii release. The DS version favoured a technique known online as "snaking", which could effectively give gamers an indefinite number of minor speed boosts throughout each track. This time around, minor speed boosts come from more natural drifting, and are far harder to replicate down straight areas of the track. I should also note that in previous games, the level of speed boost was determinable by the colour sparks underneath the player's kart, but in this release, only one minor speed boost was achievable, which should help to balance things out in the long run.

This might be based on the E3 build, and is slightly incorrect. I've played a newer build and there are two levels of boost, but the rest is correct; it's more difficult to achieve--especially the more powerful one--and seems to have a less pronounced boost effect than previous games. So long, snakers!

Nintendo Streaming 3DS Event Over Ye Olde Internet on Friday

Mario Kart 7 (still a weird name) and Super Mario 3D Land are the big releases for 2011.

It’s hard not to straight up like Nintendo president Satoru Iwata; like designer Shigeru Miyamoto, he seem so nice. Which is why I’ll be watching him on early Friday morning, as Nintendo will be streaming a 3DS presentation talking about what’s in store for 3DS the rest of the year.

The event streams on Ustream and Nico Nico on Friday at 8:00 p.m. in Japan, which is 4:00 a.m. PST, 6:00 a.m. CST and 7:00 a.m. EST.

...maybe I’ll end up watching it after I bike into work.

Iwata will apparently be covering Mario Kart 7, the upcoming 3DS firmware upgrade that will bring 3D video recording. Expect him to sneak in a reference or two to The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, which is coming out in just a few weeks. Kind of a big deal.
