Mario Kart 8

It's just so...bizarre seeing realistic cars being the only thing driven in a Mario Kart race. I mean, yeah this won't be an issue if people use the other load of karts, unless they get really good stats or whatever.

I think the real question is if the GLA will be usable in Mario Maker.

The update also adds in a map on the TV and balancing and online fixes.

Dios mio there is a god
As well as knowing your overall win/loss count online AND a COIN COUNT. Even though I already have the Gold Glider, I still would like to see how many coins I have accumulated.
 
Oh ye Gods does it need an overall win/loss count though.
I strongly dislike those, because if you lose a lot it feels like a permanent mark of shame on your record.

Here's a tip: You don't have to look at it.

Though I am curious what would count as a loss... Anything lower than first? That seems pretty bad... I'd like a cool graph thigy that shows percentages of times based on specific criteria you outline. Such as percentage of the time you place in the top half and percentage of the time you place in the top 4.

And you're the casual player here. This seems a bit backwards.
 
Sometimes I drift in a straight line to get the mini boost

Eh
Works for me

I have a feeling it might not actually work :P

I only do it when I'm leagues ahead of everyone as foolishness really

Works to amuse me
As to win?
No
 
So apparently this game, on a competitive level, is kinda like the jump from Melee to Brawl. MKWii being Melee, and this game being Brawl.

Except this time they can't go back.
 
I don't exactly see what you mean by that, but ok.
 
i thought double dash was melee
then again
competitive mario kart is pretty silly
 
Mario Kart 64 was Smash 64
Mario Kart DS was Melee
Mario Kart 8 is Brawl
Mario Kart Wii is P:M

This is more accurate.

Holy fucking shit! Talk about HYPE! But wtf it happens in November! God damn it! Why not talk about it further down the line?
 
I'm pretty sure every single owner of this game has had at least one complaint about the game that tomorrow's update or this update will fix.
 
WARIO'S GOLD MINE? FUCK. BUT AN ANIMAL CROSSING STAGE? I CAN GET DOWN WITH THAT. LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.

It's a new stage you can kick someone's shit in, DEAL WITH IT.

PS. Look like my kinda stage. Reminds me of the Treetop Canopy from Mario Golf on GCN. I've been waiting for a jungle course that isn't a piece of shit like DK Jungle.
 
This is DLC kiddos. This is how you do it. It's weird as all hell but goddamn is it nice, chunky, and will keep everyone interested in the game for a while more.
 
So it's confirmed 5 of 16 new stages

New
  • Excitebike stage
  • FZero Stage
  • Zelda Stage
  • Animal Crossing Stage
Retro
  • Wario Gold Mine

It'll be interesting to see where they go from here.

Also we only know the Blue Falcon for Karts.
 
Can you imagine? 2 more fucking cups... That's a total of SIXTEEN new tracks by the end of the promotion. AND! 8 new vehicles including the fucking BLUE FALCON (Which apparently doesn't use wheels.)
 
Actually it's 4 new cups, 2 for each pack.

But yeah. This doubles the game's size, basically. If it stealth adds in some battle mode packs, too...
 
In case you were wondering, these are all the Retro tracks we have left (aside form a few - this is preMK8)
