Game site gba.n64Europe has the first pics of the kart racer Cocoto Kart for the DS. While most people will be holding out for Mario Kart, this game does have nice graphics and some fun character designs. But why oh why dont developers start putting things like lap info a time down on the bottom screen? I want my main view to be clean and clear of all of that extra crap.
UPDATE: There are now some videos of this game too. Looks pretty good. Reminds me of Diddy Kong Racing. I still grimace when I see 2D textures for trees and items, but at least the drivers are nice 3D models.
Yeah, I know what you mean. It makes no sense. Having a top screen full of all that junk would be great, and now developers have no excuse. This game looks pretty blah to me, but I’m really looking forward to Mario Kart. After playing the highway levels in Feel the Magic, I really really hope that Nintendo puts an old-school acrade touchscreen steering wheel feature into the game. Not like Ridge Racer, but like the old Pole Position and Super Off-Road arcade games, where you have to turn it a bunch of times to achieve a turn. That would be so perfect with the stylus. It would make the races really frantic.
