Well, I did hear they got rid of inward drifting with bikes, as well as maybe a few other things. So the speed differences shouldn't be so ridiculously high this time around.
Really? Where did you hear that? Inward drifting was the best reason for me to use bikes.
They didn't have any for the Mario Kart 8 demo, but I'm not sure if we can say that it's 100% true yet. However, I noticed that the bikes handle just like the cars, and you can't wheelie. I think the bikes will behave almost exactly like the karts this time around to keep things balanced (because Mario Kart Wii turned into Mario Bike Wii). Also, the vehicles drive almost exactly like they do in Mario Kart 7, so it won't take long to adjust.
I know switching from Mario Kart 64 to Double Dash, or from Mario Kart Wii to Mario Kart DS can be a pain, because the karts handle differently in all of those games, but the transition from Mario Kart 7 to Mario Kart 8 did not feel weird to me at all.

My big bro just walked in and said "Imagine if they add Captain Falcon as some super secret character!?"
For some reason, I feel like 3DS will get an F-Zero. Mario Kart 7 will look like nothing in comparison to Mario Kart 8, IMO, that's why I think an F-Zero will happen.
They only do one Mario Kart game per console. F-Zero would be improving Nintendo's race entity while not entirely knocking out Mario Kart 7.
Kind of off topic, but I think Wii U AND 3DS will get a Metroid game. As for Starfox, I think Wii U will get that in a similar way they did Starfox: Assault. All those games were great back during the GCN, that's why I opted Nintendo only at the time.

I lead the way through the great unknown! Never knowing what I'll find...
I'm searching, expecting, exploring, connecting... So no one has to feel they're left behind.

@PloXyZeRO I'm just so upset because Dolphin Dasher was my main in MKWii and it had inward drift...and I hated the customization aspect of MK7...
Yeah I miss that bike too. I actually miss inward drifting in general. I wish that there was an option to choose between inward/outward drift. They both have advantages but some people just prefer one over the other
Graphics are nice..... but I just hope the karts and characters are well balanced
All I ever saw people use was Metal Mario on Mario Kart 7...and Funky Kong on Mario Kart Wii...don't want that to happen again
Supposedly the Gamepad is a little useless however,
With the touch screen only getting used for a obnoxiously dramatic car horn. Which is admittedly a slight shame, As I would have personally preferred a more Miiverse-intergrated option. Where those who have already passed the finish line are able to message everyone across a local match-based Miiverse thread
