Finally, Attention has been brought to "Dakou"

Hooray! We've got to celebrate!!!

Well, frantly I don't care much for the glitch. But remember this is just my opinion, since I don't care about the internet rankings and such. Soooooooo, I wouldn't care if the Big "N" left the technique in. Since I don't like it I just won't use it.

I want to post some IR times (Once I get better ) but this trick will take some to the fun out of it...but meh...if you don't like it, don't do it...that's all it's not a real huge thing to worry about...

Hey,
It was me that sent the email into IGN that is posted in their N-Query section. I thought it was important enough to tell IGN about, and they have some pulling power in the inner circles. Hope it results in something good, nice you see you pestered them about it too Re: I did it! I did it!
Post by Dominic on Aug 2nd, 2003, 11:40am
yeah, we should be proud that we brought this into the open! *gives pat on the back*
Hey, does the technique happen to work with other characters?
For example, If I use a heavy B-grip, will that give me an unfair advantage or something also? or will it just get me nowhere, like it's suppose to?

There is a good choice to contact directly Nintendo.Co.Ltd (Jp)
Let's remove this stupid bug in the us and pal versions

I e-mailed NOA like 5 times, and I got a bunch of other people to do it to, so whether nintendo likes it or not, they will here about this glitch, if not through the E-mails, then through IGN Re: I did it! I did it!

If this bug is for real... will this "technique" be harder to perform with 30 other drivers ahead of you?
(I would say so since you start the race at the end of the whole group )

the technique could be exploited in many ways i think. If you're in an open bit of track you could do it to get great speed and blast through the pack. After lap 1 you could just boost to the front and then use the snaking to stay easily ahead for the rest of the race etc.
The US version is due August 25th I think....so it may be too late to fix the problem surely. They'd only have 3 weeks to fix the code, bug test their new code to ensure it doesnt throw up other problems or prevent intended techniques....and then press all the discs. But the PAL game is due October so they could easily remove it from that. Who knows, either way, the Japanese are going to feel screwed yet again. They were already pissed about PSO and the updates to Zelda:WW the other regions got.

If they agree to fix it for the US release, you guys think it may result in a later release date?
Re: I did it! I did it!
Post by EMAGDNIM on Aug 2nd, 2003, 5:51pm
I really don't think they have the time to fix the code and press the discs in time for the release...if you want it fixed then expect a delay...

what improvement did the western versions of WW get ? (played the jap one). sorry for the off-topic...
Re: I did it! I did it!

Nope, It doesn't seem like it will be taken out according to peer, oh well, like always, I am forced to live with something I don't really approve of

The whole Triforce shard finding thing was nerfed. I dunno the details on the jap version, but here we got an "IN-credible" chart that showed the locations of all of the triforce shard charts.

In WW, to get one of the Triforce pieces, you had to shoot a boat, dig up it's map, go to a spot, dig up a map, go to another spot, dig up a map and finally dig up the piece..in the US and PAL version, they just made the boat drop a map that leads directly to the piece. That's what they changed Re: I did it! I did it!
Post by F-Zero Fanatic on Aug 3rd, 2003, 03:34am
It's probably too late to change the US version. They've probably already begun pressing the discs by now in time for the release date in 23 days time. The PAL version on the other hand,.... there is still time to change that one for sure.

I wish they could, but no one can seem to get a hold of NOE, so they have no heads up, well that's that I guess
