New gameplay videos and trailers for Mario Kart DS have been released, as well as a hands-on preview from Nintendo of America’s Redmond headquarters.
A bright direct-feed trailer for the game is available, but it’s basically a 26-second ad. The two darker off-screen gameplay videos are where the action’s at—clocking in at 31 minutes total—even if they’re as dark and fuzzy as the picture you see here. At least the game’s supposed to be running at 60 frames per second! (Clearer ones from before can be found over here.)
Some very thoughtful multiplayer features have been added, though, including mixed multi-cart and download-play matches, classic tracks from older games, as well as an automatic win/loss-based matchmaking service (even if Internet matches are limited to four players at a time). Single-player Battle Mode against racing bots is also available. MK DS will be released November 14th, and the DS bundle is scheduled for the 28th.
