Rabid Kart fans will contest that “snaking” through a race is a learned tactic – pure strategy – and shouldn’t be labeled as cheating. Well, they’ll be disappointed to learn that Nintendo has listened to the cry of non-Snakees and has removed it from Mario Kart Wii.
The latest issue of ONM UK reveals:
The second big difference (in Mario Kart Wii compared to the rest of the series) is the removal of snaking. Ever since the N64 game, practically every Mario Kart game has included the ability to get a speed boost by waggling the controls left and right as you powerslide. This has finally been scrapped, and now your speed boost is determined by how long you can hold the slide.
We figured that, given the latest videos to pop up around the net. The game drives into stores April 27.
