Force Dynamics 301 driving simulator takes on Super Mario Kart

[wraggster]

While most of the cool kids are off whizzing around courses in Mario Kart Wii, the gurus at Force Dynamics are reminiscing about the one that started it all. Apparently the firm has tweaked its 301 motion platform to actually control the kart in the SNES hit, and the rider's chair even leaps up along with Mario, Peach or any other jumping character you choose. Sure, it's missing those absolutely brain-melting Wii graphics (but not by much, if you catch our drift), but we'd probably take a ride in this over an hour with the Wii Wheel any day.

"We're not going to tell you how we did it."

Hmmm... Let's think for about five seconds here...
Emulator
ROM
Read the contents of the virtual SNES' RAM and do stuff based on that
????
PROFIT!

We need F-Zero for DS!!!!

I have wanted them to make an F-Zero for DS for so long!!! They should make one that looks and feels like F-Zero X and not one of the GBA ones.

This car thing is awesome! it looks so fun
