If you had a Nintendo 64 rising up, we guess you had Mario Kart 64. This was many individuals’s first Mario Kart sport, and the remaining is historical past.
Of course, you possibly can play it on the Switch because of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Alongside Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart: Super Circuit (each on NSO too) and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, that is 4 completely different Mario Kart video games on one system.
But — within the pretty Alex Olney’s phrases — “the best Mario Kart game isn’t on Switch”, and he needs to speak about it. Mario Kart wasn’t the solely kart racer on the N64, oh no. Rare additionally had a slice of the pie with the unbelievable Diddy Kong Racing, which marked the debut of many iconic Rare characters together with Conker, Banjo, and Tiptup.
“But wait, Diddy Kong Racing isn’t Mario Kart!” We know, we all know. But it is completely impressed by it and, arguably, would possibly nicely beat Mario Kart 64 at its personal sport. How? Well it has a full-fledged journey mode, planes and hovercrafts in addition to karts, and pleasant music.
The sport has been caught on N64 since its launch (no, the DS model did not occur — you possibly can’t make us bear in mind it), and we expect it deserves an opportunity on the Switch. If Banjo-Kazooie and GoldenEye 007 could make the soar, certainly Diddy and mates can pull up firstly line?
Listen to Alex wax lyrical about Diddy Kong Racing over on our YouTube channel, and tell us what you consider this glorious sport within the feedback.
