People hate the DS one because they never learned to do snaking, and they don't like skill in Mario Kart, they just like blue shells.
I complained about snaking at first until I realized that it was too easy not for me to do it. It's not like it was some super advanced technique. What fun is simply holding 'A'? Shouldn't you be trying to do speed boosts as much as possible? Snaking was just the natural result of efficiently doing speed boosts on straightaways.
tl;dr waaaaaah
