Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhanced Nintendo DSi XL Red Bundle with Mario Kart for an Immersive Gaming Experience by Jesus Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great addition to Super Mario's 25th Anniversary!

The Nintendo DS was the best handheld gaming system of all time and deserved it! It has a great library of games and great performance. When the DSi came out, it added many more downloadable games, apps and other DSI software. It also had a movie maker, audio channel for music, and other cool features. The only thing I didn't like is that the system is now regionally coded, which means that some games it can't play, like the RPG Maker and Pokemon Black & White versions, have also lost all the languages they were in DS like Japanese and German. He arranged for English, Spanish and French, which I find annoying, to have those languages included in a system published in the US. It's just that the DSiXL has a bigger screen, which is nice. The system itself is great! The red limited edition is the reason I actually bought it. I already had DSiLL from Japan but when the games started having region codes I had to get English. The red color looks great and it has Super Mario icons on the front. This system includes 3 downloaded games! Nintendo's selection of downloadable games is just rude, so I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. I paid for the GAME system, not the EDUCATIONAL system. It comes with Brain Age and two other educational games. Why should they do this? I'll never play that crap! What Nintendo should have done was just give players 2,000 free points for the DSi Shop channel so they can download whatever they want when they want to give you 3 games. Everyone I know who owns a Brain Age game on a Nintendo DS cartridge has played it once and received it as a gift. The bottom line is that no one needs them. They sell well in Europe. As for the store channel, there are just tons of games and software out there on the web. You also get Mario Kart DS. Without a doubt I can say that these are the ABSOLUTELY best Nintendo DS games despite being 5 years old. They have 16 original DS tracks, 4 SNES tracks, 4 GBA tracks, 4 N64 tracks and 4 Gamecube tracks. The tracks they brought back were the best in the series, with the exception of Super Mario Circuit 1. Many would have preferred Super Mario Circuit 2 (with the jump), but the track selection is good enough to ignore. Scene. Mario Kart provided hours of entertainment. They have a 1 player GP mode. The more cups and CCs you complete, the more cars and characters you get. You can also get ranks that are displayed online. I got fucking ranks all over the place. They have a mission mode where each class has 8 missions and then a boss. Most of the missions are driving through gates, powersliding, collecting coins and shooting at enemies. Bosses are all different. There are 6 mission classes where you get class 7 with 7 missions if you complete them all. You can play VS battle mode and race in single player mode, you can play VS mode with up to 8 players in wireless mode. For those who don't have a game, play as a shy guy. You can even go online and play with 4 people at the same time against other players around the world. You can draw your own picture and it will appear on the web and anywhere there is a two-player wireless mode. It's easy to see why Mario Kart DS is arguably the best game on the Nintendo DS. Most importantly, YOU ARE NEVER FORCED TO USE A TERRIBLE TOUCHSCREEN AS THE MASTER CONTROLLER. You can use it to switch map views, but you can just press a different button. You can select items on the menu, but why would you do that when you can use buttons? This is by far the best Nintendo DS system (as long as it wasn't region locked).

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not everything fits
