^ Dude...... But if they deleted it does it mean that they wont do it anymore or they just want it to be a suprise?

It could mean a number of things. I'd like to think that it means they realized that talking about talking about it is against their NDA with Nintendo, but it's possible that the info they had hoped to bring us was actually not going to be free to the public until much later. This could also mean--if you're a pessimist and just want to think the worst--that MK8 has been delayed, and instead of big news, we'll just be getting a new release date for August.

I hope they start talking about either what the online is going to be like, or about how the battles will work. I don't think we've seen anything about the battle mode, right?

I hope they announce the (not-so-)secret(-anymore) Double Dash mode, where you get to double up players, add variables, and even go online in MASSIVE 24-player races!

Returning features include 12-player online play*, gliders, underwater racing, motorbikes, and more. you mean?

This is on the official Nintendo Of America, Mario Kart 8 Game Page: Returning features include 12-player online play*, gliders, underwater racing, motorbikes, and custom karts.

nope, it just says and more now. im not saying your lying just that its been changed.

I checked a few minites ago. It still say what I posted. Link: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/RCjxReZwSFsFfyaXGGxYdoz...

Check their Corection post of the date of when they did the Mario Golf Stuff. It's still coming.

Why though? All the other major first party releases for the Wii-U have have been rated highly by fans and critics alike. There has yet to be a bad MK game yet, and there's no reason to doubt that this one will be great from what we have seen so far.

Even friends of mine who don't care about most Nintendo titles still have a soft spot for the MK series, so I have to believe it will be another huge hit.

Far as I know Mario Kart is pretty popular among casuals and hardcore gamers alike, even those that don't care much about Nintendo's other titles save Smash Bros. / Zelda. MK8's been praised across the board ever since it was revealed unlike Mario 3D World or Donkey Kong (even if the latter IMO got unfair treatment).

@JohnRedcorn Lemme see if I can translate this a bit so it connects properly. You're entirely justified in your misinterpretation, by the way. I totally see how you got this wrong.

What he's saying is that the game will be great. It's probably going to be well-loved by Nintendo fans and critics alike, but there will be morons out there that hate on this game for stupid reasons, like "Oh, my God, Mario Kart's such a kiddie game! Forza/Driveclub is the way to go, you twerp!" Not to mention the ever popular "You mean that game that gives first place to the worst drivers? Yeah, that's /so/ gonna be the reason I get a Wii U eye roll "

You know, the usual flaky reasons that people decide not to play Nintendo games.

I saw it on neogaf, i tought some would like ot read this

I hope the courses thing is not true, But....THAT STILL SOUNDS LIKE AN AWESOME GAME!!! I bet GameXplain will reviel that this Week.

2 new items ^

Seems Likely enough.

I actually hope there's 10 cups in total compared to the previous 8 cups. 40 tracks = more variety.
I hope the Freezie is an item, not the Ice Flower.

Yeah I would love if they would have 5 new cups and 5 retro cups (Wasn't SNES and GBA like this?) I mean come on, who wouldnt want more courses?

Maybe for the last Nitro Cup, it could be called the Planet Cup.

The last Retro Cup could be called the Bullet (Bill) Cup.

I hope the All Cup comes back from double dash, it was awesome
