Video: Witness The Intolerable Cruelty Of Mario Kart 8

The horror... the horror...

i cried

I shared.

Was this one video made using the MKTV service or is it multiple MKTV videos stitched together using a different programme?

Horrifying video nonetheless

Wow, Yoshi hasn't looked this smooth since Mario Kart 64

I'm surprised they didn't show the Blue Shell. shudders

It's beautiful! Can you play it on reverse too and edit/share the video according to how you want it played?

Cruel, but terrific.

At 0:48 you can see the Koopaling's life flash before his very eyes.

That was video was too funny!

Man, Donkey Kong just can't catch a break

@Damo So it isn't PUBLISHED using MKTV? Because that quality is NOT good enough for a direct video publishing service! (it's fine for this video off course ;} )

Is it May 30th already? Nope?

Baby princess peach is just to cute

Baby Peach is BRUTAL

Nintendo really have made kart racing an art form!

yeah it would be harsh hitting the cute babies, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I wish they used somebody other than YouTube. (They are constantly trying deception to get me to join Google plus.) Even better if they used somewhere it could actually work properly.

(At least with an mp4 you can check a 60fps game video looks right.)

They could have just saved the file to the sdcard.

And the Oscar goes to... Donkey Kong.

Poor Lakitu. All those years on the sidelines playing the ref and his first shining moments is getting nailed.

@PrincessEevee9 CoughMarioKart7Cough

Wow, this was painfully gorgeous.

Looks glorious.

I can't wait to troll folks on here with my vids. LOL Playing the sad music while people are succumbing to banana slips on the edge of cliff falling to their doom. Or that blasted blue shell right before the finish line. Oh the horror! LOL

Can I be a little negative and say that it was quite boring? The same front flip animation everytime someone gets hit. I was expecting more variation in facial expressions and crashes. The main reason it looks great is because of the lighting effects, nothing else is really impressive. Still, doesnt change my hype for the game one bit.

any one interested in mario and sonic kart in the style of mario kart? Or visa versa

I can't believe Nintendo went to the trouble of having the shells shatter on impact into little pieces. Has that ever happened in a kart game before?

Too much slo-mo and slow music for me, I'ld much rather have Rory narrate a race, or at least a pre-race once-over.

Wow, were you guys bored....

22 days!

Baby Peach will be the stuff of my nightmares for days to come. But she's so incredibly cute!
And in the end, she gets some revenge served. All is well that ends well, I guess.

That baby Peach/DK banana slide was hilarious!

This cant come quick enough

Hans Zimmer's Time, from Inception, syncs almost perfectly with the video too.

@firebird3334 I would be interested in a Sega made Mario Kart that played similar to All Stars Racing Transformed.

(The best F-Zero is Sega made). Or a Namco made one. (Or the Arcade GP games).

Maybe I will love Mario Kart 8 but I think I won't.

how much editing can you do with MKTV?> can you guys show a video of how it works..?

Lakitu didn't even have time to react.

Suddenly I have flashbacks of James at that Mario Kart tournament... That was a dark day, my friends.

@rjejr This is just the Mario Kart TV feature where you can see the race again in slow motion. The actual game is going to be quite fast and has a lot of other features. I'm hoping that you can play as the Miis.

What's the editing like anyways? Like, how much freedom do you have with the camera and stuff?

Heh.. Baby Toadstool got her's

I can see how there is real potential to exploit the features of Mario Kart TV. I sure hope Nintendo does keep up this sort of shenanigans - it's what they do best!

This video made me check the item list, and no giant shroom That was always my favorite way to mow people down. At least we still have bob-ombs!

@rjejr

So in Mario Kart TV in the replay, it plays at normal speed but you have the power to slow it down and rewind (perhaps even fast forward?). It's pretty awesome when you see it in normal speed and the moment you get hit put it into slow mo... very dramatic haha

Baby peach is like looking at some horror film with evil babies.

@Damo

Nice. It'll be fun just rewinding little segments and watching them play over and over.

@rjejr

Hey, Nintendo World Store announced an exclusive limited edition boxed version of MK8 that comes with the blue shell Europe got. Pre orders started today already. Do you live within distance of Nintendo World Store and want your own limited edition and cash on the side? I'd be willing to pay you to pre order me one and ship it to me. Just name your price. I'm being for real here.

great music choice.

@JaxonH

lol looks like im not the only one thinking about going to the Nintendo World Store to buy the MK8 limited edition bundle

@Damo How much freedom do you get with the camera? Like...am I able to make a trailer-quality replay of the race or something? x3

@JaxonH @Urbanhispanic
Ditto i just preordered mine at the store…and ended up buying nintendo stuff i dont need…but the posters, the shirts, and those damn plushes…damn u for tricking me Nintendo!!! Oh and thanks for selling awesome stuff too!

@WanderingPB

Nice. I'm working something out with a fellow member at another fan site I frequent now. It's costing me a fair chunk of change, but considering this is exclusive to Nintendo World Store, the collector's value is through the roof. I bet these don't even hit eBay they're gonna be so limited in quantity.

@Mizore

From what I've gathered, you don't control the camera per se, but you do dictate what actions should be covered for the replay. So, you can tell the game to cover big hits with items and Character A, or all hits with items on everyone, or cover the whole race of Character B, or whatever...

See this video, particularly when the "edit" menu is accessed at 1:36

@JaxonH
The regular price for the limited edition at the store is $79.99…it's scary to even think about what the ebay prices are going to be…though the steelbook edition that Germany is getting sounds tempting

Great video, I've never been this excited for MK. The game is looking gorgeous.

@WanderingPB

Well, I feel better about the amount I offered to have someone pick up the LE for me now. I said I'd pay $200 (cost of game and shipping taken out of that, of course). At $80 + tax + shipping, I'm basically paying double. But that's fair considering how hard this is to get for anyone who doesn't live in NYC, and how rare it's going to be. I'm sure $200 will be considered a STEAL for any of these that turn up on eBay. NWS exclusive by pre order means $500 price tag. EXTREMELY high demand with EXTREMELY short supply dictates an EXTREMELY large price tag...

That steelbook is also nice. I want to import, but considering the cash I'm dropping on the LE, I'm not sure I wanna drop ANOTHER hundred bucks for a steelcase edition. We'll see I suppose.

great addition to the game!

man i got ideas already for some epic videos. this is gonna be a great release ~

Anyone else notice we haven't been shown one battle arena? All battles have been on normal tracks so far....

That was one very very boring movie to watch! I got so bored.... hopefully not gameplay wise!

Can you add music tracks to the videos you upload? Surly not?

Can't wait Thanks for the video.
