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
I might get this game, but only if there's a good amount of new content. Especially on the online scene, I want to get into more online games and it'd be nice for Nintendo to fully deliver in this regard (which they've said is their focus for this game).

I don't know what anyone can do with a touchscreen on a racing game--especially on frenetic Kart-racers. Your hands are always busy either steering, or pressing the gas. The only thing that can be done with the screen is to use it for a mirror, a map, or for checking lap times. Basically, just for glancing at, not for touching.
The touchscreen is perfect for telemetry, and for setup changes, and for other menu-derived things. But that isn't a feature in Kart racing games.

Considering it's been the case since at least Mario Kart 64, I unfortunately don't see that pattern changing. Mario Kart has always had pretty big problems with character/kart balance.
Just look how many people in the Mario Kart DS era used the Dry Bomber because it was good for 'snaking'. How most used lightweight characters in the oldest games. There was also a preferred kart in Double Dash, but I can't remember what one.
Yeah, sure it can be annoying when a bunch of other racers always pick the exact same character, but the party nature of Mario Kart means you always have a chance to win. A slight character or kart advantage will not drastically swing the favour.
Also yeah, touchscreen use is minimal. At best, it can copy the 3DS and DS use of the mini map.
