Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

Again, I really don't see all the hate towards some generic characters. I wouldn't mind having a Hammer Bro. or a Magikoopa or even a Goomba be playable.

In a fair view, excluding other methods like introducing recurring species individuals (eg, Kamek than a magikoopa), it's not that generic players are annoying, but usually we expect to see main characters who have more supports to be in first. At least some secondary characters haven't made it into Kart games so far.

So in your words, maybe "6 out of 34" is okay but we don't know if Nintendo really have rules to follow. In the Kart 7 newcomer example, there should had been no more than one new generic/minor character so that it could meet fans' needs.

I think Nintendo will include a Goomba as a racer just for the lulz (and because they are out of ammo useable characters).

UH, even that you don't notice any recent Mario game, you can simply check Mariowiki to know how many characters are there. If Nintendo really give a playable generic goomba, it could be their bad habit.

Looking so forward to this game. The Rainbow Road should be amazing.

Same here. I mean, I love all the original Rainbow Roads, but this one should be an absolute wonder.

^ Yes, with the zero gravity and whatnot. I got excited that we got to go upside down on the DS Rainbow Road. :P Haha.

Well, considering the next Mario Circuit has antigravity(actually, too lazy to read the other parts of this thread to tell if it's myth or not), I'm sure they're having it in Rainbow Road.

Re: Mario Kart 8

^ I do believe that it does, taking the trailers into consideration. Rainbow Road will definitely have it. They should pull it off beautifully, I'm hoping.

Hey, if they bring back rainbow Thwomps, I'm happy. :P

Mario Circuit is the one shaped like a Mobius Strip, so it's not a myth.

We don't know if this is true yet but I hope it is and it is a very good idea for Nintendo to take their time making the game.

I still hope that there will be a 3DS version of the game too.

Re: Mario Kart 8

Well, the official release date IS spring 2014

No. I'm sorry, but if you want a 3DS Mario Kart game, play Mario Kart 7.

It's only for the Wii U.

That's for UK gamers at least – we're holding hope that the game's US debut will actually happen a little earlier.

Bastards. America already gets all games earlier 99/100 times.

Re: Mario Kart 8

AMERICA!!! (FUCK YEAH!)

Technically, Japan tends to get things before we do

Thomas Harper is more than likely American.

Cry me a river. So what. We get it earlier. You're still gonna play the game.

Re: Mario Kart 8

Besides, is most of the market for Mario Kart 8 in the US? Or is it Japan?

Sorry, but if I was in power, I'd probably make Europe get it earlier for once.

Re: Mario Kart 8

Well, in Venezuela we get the games two or three days later after the release date, but we get it at, like, five times its original price because of our awful economy and our stupid and useless president. I think it's worse to get the game at 200-250 dollars than getting it a couple months later.

We DREAM of having an economy like that of the United States, which we're aware it's not that good. That's how bad we are.

That sucks, mate. I thought our economy was the worst.
(excluding many countries in Africa which their economy was ruined because of high inflation)

Anyway, I'm really excited for Mario Kart 8!

Many countries with poor infrastructures have awful economies. We live in utopia compared to them.
