NintendoSpin recently received a preview build of Elastomania DS, a racing/puzzle hybrid game from Russian developer Mobirate. The preview build featured one level and six arenas, providing a good taste of what to expect from the title. Elastomania DS has you steering a motorbike through an arena full of obstacles and dangerous falls. Your objective [...]

At first, you may be inclined to think that Mario Kart Wii is nothing more than Double Dash with tilt control. I suppose that’s a fair assumption. After all, the game looks remarkably like Double Dash, just with widescreen support and an over saturation of bloom lighting. It’s a little more than that, though. Mario [...]

Instead of getting Tony Hawk’s Project 8, the Wii got something entirely different: a downhill racer that just so happens to star Tony Hawk. This doesn’t mean Tony Hawk is no longer about the tricks, though. There are still trick attack events, but these play second to the race and slalom challenges. Even then, tricks [...]

When I overhear people talk of the “good old days” (i.e. the NES), one game which is always mentioned is Excitebike. Its fame is forever, and anyone who knows it cherishes it. So it’s surprising Nintendo hasn’t capitalized on its popularity. Excitebike 64 was okay, but there has been little else to get… er… uh… [...]

There’s something about a $2 price tag that really grabs my attention. Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s a $2 price tag! And for that, I’ll buy any video game. I would even buy Elf Bowling for $2, because that’s money I’d spend on a package of Great Value cookies anyway (which aren’t that good [...]

Midway has delivered three game collections so far for us. A majority of the games in these collections feature a plethora of racing titles. The case is the same with Midway Arcade Treasures 3. The collection is a mix of extremely old and possibly not even known to a couple of their best Nintendo 64 [...]

Just when many supporters of the hardware and software developer that is Nintendo didn’t think it would ever happen, November 14 proved us all wrong. Mario Kart has been a well-renowned franchise since the SNES era. Whether it’s just having that kooky Mario atmosphere or the intense racing battles against the AI or your friends [...]

When I was younger, I liked going to certain people’s houses just so I could play “that car game,” which I now know was called Super Mario Kart. That game was pure magic. Mario Kart 64 was pure magic. Mario Kart: Double Dash was okay magic. The point is, this series kicks butt, and seeing [...]

No lead is safe. That is basically what should be considered the theme to Burnout 2: Point of Impact. Yes that could probably be applied to just about any racing game, but as crazy as Burnout 2 is, it’s especially applicable here. Criterion Games brought us what just may very well be the most entertaining [...]

At this year’s Nintendo Fusion Tour in the location closest to me, I was able to get my hands on three upcoming game demos. They happened to be Mario Strikers, Mario Kart DS, and The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess. Upon first seeing MK DS, I was rather giddy because I’ve been more than anxious [...]
