Well, they did put R.O.B. in Mario Kart DS

So? R.O.B (as far as I know anyway) is a Nintendo character whereas White Mage is not.

Technically, R.O.B. is a NES periphiral, not a character. He's not even appeared in any game!! (except MKDS and Brawl)

If he's shown up as a playable character, then he can be considered a character. Although yes, he was an NES peripheral first. My point is he's Nintendo 'property' which is why he was easily able to make a cameo appearance in MKDS. White Mage meanwhile is Square Enix property and therefore has little-to-no chances appearing here unless Square Enix help out with the game in some way.

Yeah, but with the Mario-Final Fantasy crossovers that were released recently, it would be no surprise.....

BTW, is anyone thinking about PAC-MAN in MK8? Just saying......

He had a cameo in Kirby's Dream Land 3 if that counts.

We're talking about playable appearances, so it does not count.....

GBA Ribbon Road
3DS Neo Bowser City

LIGHTNING CUP

N64 Rainbow Road

4 3DS tracks seems a lot.........and only ONE SNES track? Come on!! I know it's only your opinion, but I believe you really have to be incredibly lucky to have ALL of them confirmed.

Otherwise, you have good thinking, N64 Rainbow Road, GCN Wario Colosseum, GBA Ribbon Road and Wii Toad's Factory are all on my wishlist (and many other gamers' too)

It's not a wishlist, it's a guess, my wish list would have Cheese Land

Two things:

1)What about SSB4?

2)What do you mean by "a reason to turn on my Wii U"? There is already a few great games while waiting (SM3D World, DKCTF, etc.)

Well considering Nintendo doesn't reuse Retro Tracks (Baby Park was in the DS version), I doubt they'd bring it back.

They're going to have to reuse tracks at some point, but they have enough that they don't need to yet. I don't think that necessarily means that Nintendo won't do it, though.

They don't have to, because each game keeps adding the same amount of tracks that they bring back. But I think they will at some point because there might be some tracks that they don't feel like remaking at all. Also, some of the tracks remade in DS and Wii can still benefit from the mechanics used in 7 and 8.

GAME has begun making preorders for this accessory. It's called Wii U Super Mario Kart Racing Wheel from PowerA starting at £9.99. It will be available the week after MK8 release.

Making promise is easy. The hard part is keeping it.

No. Wii Classic Controller FTW!!!

I am not sure what will be best for MK8 but I'll probably have to get a proper Motion Plus Remote to use the wheel. Might go for a MK8 + MK8 WiiMote+ + Wheel Bundle though!

I only posted this to get my avatar as the forum's thumbnail.

I'm going to play it with the WiiU Pro Controller.

I'll definitely get that wheel if they include it with the game though. I have friends who prefer the Wii-wheel.

Looking forward to: No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again

@Wavesta Yeah they should use the camera so you can see the other dudes & dudettes reaction after using a bullet bill or blue shell... The old COD tea bag will become more real than you could ever imagine

I didn't mind the wheel but I don't need another one. Plus the Wheel didn't really add much anyways, the game was just as playable with a WiiMote on its side. That said because of off-TV I'll probably be using the analogue input enough that I'll be used to the analogue input more than the motion controls.
