Warp Pipe Adds 8-Player Mario Kart, 1080 Avalanche Support

Thanks to the Warp Pipe site for its announcement that the latest 0.3.1 version of their Warp Pipe tunneling software for GameCube has been released, with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X flavors now sporting a bugfix allowing a full complement of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! competitors ("you can play with up to 8 players via two Cubes"), and partial support for new GameCube snowboarding title 1080 Avalanche, albeit with "some stability issues", for this software which "enables you to play LAN-supported GameCube games over the Internet for free with other GameCube gamers."

Re:Maybe Nintendo thinks the lag is a quality issu

[Mike Mentalist]

The reason why they didn't include online play was because they didn't think they were going to make any money on it.

Their excuse about the lag is as hollow as the one they used to justify using cartridges over CD's on the N64.
