#MARIO KART 7 3DS GAMES UPDATE#
It was one of the first times we could recall Nintendo actually issuing a major update to a game we're aware this is making us sound old.
#MARIO KART 7 3DS GAMES PATCH#
Mario Kart 7 also established another new trend, as it had a couple of glitches / cheats so bad that Nintendo applied a patch to fix them in online play. We even recall the eShop going down on Christmas Day 2011 (which was big news!) as eager new 3DS owners and Mario fans bombarded and crashed the network. There were growing pains, of course, but it was also quite exciting. It was a period with a lot of firsts, then, as 'Nintendo Network' (the predecessor to Nintendo Account / Switch Online) found its feet and brought the big N kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. It had nice little StreetPass and SpotPass features (we still miss them), and let's not forget it was the first MK game that could be downloaded from the eShop, with the 3DS being the first Nintendo system to have retail games available digitally. Online play continued to build on the good work of Mario Kart Wii and added communities, where you could form private lobbies with friends and forum buddies. Assembling your vehicle with three parts made its debut, as did gliders that helped inform some clever course designs.

It also moved the series forward in fun ways.

And yes, for some reason a bunch of tracks had different names depending on whether you were in EU or NA, presumably as a result of some sort of localisation turf war. It had some truly excellent tracks (a few of which were revived in Mario Kart 8 / Deluxe), with standouts including Music Park / Melody Motorway, Neo Bowser City / Koopa City, Wario Shipyard / Wario's Galleon, Rock Rock Mountain / Alpine Pass and a Rainbow Road that we prefer to the MK8 equivalent (it's less annoying, anyway). It also helped that Mario Kart 7 was rather good - perhaps not 'best in series' level, but definitely fun either locally or online.
#MARIO KART 7 3DS GAMES SOFTWARE#
Suddenly a handheld that was initially perceived to be too expensive and lacking in killer apps was neither of those things, and a steady revival towards respectability was underway which would eventually result in one of Nintendo's most enviable software libraries. Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.While Monster Hunter 3 G contributed handily to a late-2011 comeback for 3DS in Japan, the games that joined the price cut for a big push in the West were Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7.
