I'm tired, I couldn't think of a better title.
WARNING: The video in question is 35 minutes long.
Quick synopsis: The uploader lists four main problems that this game has: it doesn't know what kind of Mario game it is, it isn't a good "course clear" game, it doesn't love its own ideas, and...
Another thing I must say. I hope characters aren't locked behind a pre-order paywall. It appears that bag is a pre-order thing, so I'm hoping certain characters (like Birdo, Diddy, and Paratroopa) don't require a game pre-order to be unlocked. I doubt that will happen because Nintendo isn't EA...
And not too long after I posted this, that pic Swiftie posted leaked out. Ask and I shall receive, I guess. I'm so glad they're in! :D
Also, seeing that image has me wondering. Does this mean the final roster is set?
There's not much new that can be done with the series to be honest. I say just stick with what we've got and focus on making great race tracks and battle arenas, as well as focusing on providing a great character roster and a solid item system.
I don't think you should apologize because you're right. Meanwhile Nintendo thinks it's okay to include garbage like PGP and Baby Rosalina, snubbing characters like Birdo and Diddy Kong.
I guess this site's biased towards Swiftie too.
"Don't show users' signatures." box checked. In before I have to do the same for avatars. Allowing users to insert animated pictures in sigs and avatars was a huge mistake.
Taking your time to reflect on your wrongs. You haven't changed on GameFAQs, that's for sure, so you're lying.
It amazes me that you're able to get away with crappy behavior not only there, but here too. When will people wake up and realize you're not welcome on sites like this?
1. I'm not targeting you specifically. You're not the only one here with distracting gifs. It's just that yours in particular is the worst offender because of how distracting it is.
2. No, you're not staying on topic. You never do, especially on GameFAQs where you always pick fights with people...
Because her's is the most distracting one that I've seen so far. And no, it has nothing to do with our beef on GameFAQs. The way that gif moves is too distracting.
Even if I did know, this still shouldn't be a problem. I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one who finds that gif distracting and I'm willing to bet Swiftie knows what she's doing and I don't like it. Par for the course for her.
To be fair, Rosalina's voice has degraded because of the change in voice actresses.
Also, please remove the gif on the left in your signature, Swiftie. It's too distracting. It makes it hard to read posts. Put something there that isn't too distracting.
I just wanted to say this before I go to bed. It's not in reply to what someone here said.
Everyone has an opinion and they're entitled to it. That opinion should be respected, no matter how much you disagree with it. If you disagree, that's fine. However, don't belittle or attack anyone...
I voted for Waluigi, but let's be real. Neither will get in. Ever. Sakurai clearly hates both characters and their fans, so we'll never see those two in as playable characters.
I really want a big roster, but I don't have much hope for that happening. I seriously don't understand why Nintendo doesn't want big rosters in games like this. They have a lot of characters they can put in, but they either don't do that or they do and in the process, snub notable characters...
What? She's not playable.
Tiara does nothing besides being another damsel in distress for Mario to rescue. As LGM has said (here and on GameFAQs; I'm going off of this thread for reference and a lot of people there seem to agree that she's pointless...
Found this on Twitter. Here's some concept art of the most pointless character in the Mario universe:

I'm okay with the removal of firehopping. It seemed like a silly technique.
Also, don't go to MKBoards (a competitive Mario Kart site). They will go after you if you're okay with this technique being nerfed.
Re: Mario Kart 8
Honestly, I prefer the item guessing game of MKWii. I guess I just love the unpredictability factor of it. That's probably why I find that game addicting and not so much the last two Mario Karts that have item spy.
Re: Mario Kart 8
Yeah, Luma definitely should've gotten in over Baby Rosalina. I'd like to know what Nintendo was smoking when they came up with the decision to include her.
Re: Mario Kart 8
No Birdo, no buy. :birdo:
All kidding aside, I'm intrigued by this. It's not a system seller, but I like what I saw in that short span (King Boo is nice, but the two item system has me really interested). I'd have to see more though.
Guess I'll be the first one to say Maple Treeway from MKWii. No matter how well I do on it, something always seems to go wrong. The Wigglers, the wavy net, you name it. Anything that can go wrong for me on Treeway has gone wrong.
I also dislike Luigi Circuit. Luck truck. Need I say more...
Re: Mario Kart 8
MKWii definitely has its fair share of problems like Funky Bike GCN, lightweights not being able to succeed because of the Funky meta game and their weight (seriously, you get bumped around A LOT as a small character; they just can't compete with Funky), awful physics, some...
Erase Baby Rosalina from existence. There's no reason for her to exist. People thought Baby Daisy was bad (I personally like her as a character), but Baby Rosalina is stupid. If it weren't for her, I'd say Pink Gold Peach. Both of these characters should not exist.
Re: Mario Kart 8
Peach Beach and Desert Hills were terrible too.
Mushroom Gorge, Grumble Volcano (stupid rock glitch; MK8's version is way better), and Rainbow Road are pretty bad in terms of nitro tracks.
Re: Mario Kart 8
To those who frequent GameFAQs. After more than 2 years of being out, the MK8 board really is dying. As of this post, only 10 topics remain open. My question is: was the MKWii board way more active after 2+ years of being out? I find it hard to believe that the MK8 board is...
Was the site down for anyone else for a good part of today?
Anyway, speaking of custom tracks. Most of them are garbage, lol. Mushroom Peaks might be the worst of them all.
MKWii is still my favorite Mario Kart, but it can still be frustrating and infuriating with how chaotic the items are. Maybe if the thundercloud didn't exist and maybe if the blue shells weren't so frequent, this game would be much better than what it already is.
Don't worry, they'll save that for Mario Kart 9. ;)

Anyone else want to help me out here?
