Day 693 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Today’s game is Mario Kart Wii. Specifically Retro Rewind. After having my hard drive wiped on accident, I had a ton of my friends asking me to reinstall this. The download takes a while for me for some reason (downloads on GitHub take a while for me). Once it finished though I gave it a test to make sure everything works.

It’s nice to have an option that’s not bound to a Nintendo Console, though I don’t think I care for some of the interpretations of the retro courses. Like Wario Stadium got done dirty here I feel like. Legitimately I feel like the original was perfect. Something about every reimagining just feels off.

Same with Toad’s Turnpike. The Cars I think are going the wrong way and it feels more rural than what the original felt to me. And don’t even get me started on my opinion about MK8’s version. I am not a fan of the wall panels and the more open design.

That’s all Subjective opinions though. You know what I did like? N64 Rainbow road. I would have preferred 3 laps but 2 is a fine compromise. As long as it’s not the segmented race MK8 has. Graphically I felt it was decently faithful too.

Anyways. This was mainly for me to test it out to make sure everything works before playing with friends. Once i was sure it does I was content to let it be. I did a few Grand Prixs as well but I didn’t get any screenshots of those.
