@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.

  • 32 tracks in the game (16 new, 16 retro) https://twitter.com/PlaneteNintendo/...78564100653056
  • The new demo only gives access to 16 of these tracks, but it has all items, characters, and includes Mario Kart TV mode https://twitter.com/PlaneteNintendo/...20293230764032
  • There are 2 brand new items in Mario Kart 8 https://twitter.com/PlaneteNintendo/...31887050403840
  • The game runs at 60fps with 1/2 players, 30fps with 3/4 players (no info about 5 players so maybe it's not even available at all) https://twitter.com/PlaneteNintendo/...93106780229632
  • More information will be officially revealed at some time next week, possibly Thrusday

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.

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

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

It was awesome... for Double Dash. I don't think it'd fit very well in MK8.

An All-Tour New Cup / All-Tour Retro Cup sure but one with all 32(+?) tracks would take too long.

Why not? My brother and I played All Cup for days trying to get the highest Rank. It was so much fun. I wouldn't mind having it again. Not sure if they should allow it to be played online but I think it would be very fun for single-player.

Hopefully this will be the general reaction to Mario Kart 8's release.

Why not? Don't get me wrong, I loved Double Dash (I still have it to this day) but from my personal experience, All Cup worked best with Double Dash (and probably only Double Dash) because of how many tracks were there. Since All Cup includes all cups, having it in MK8 means that all 32 tracks would have to be played. That would just be too long of a gameplay session for myself. The best alternative to All Cup was in MKWii. You can easily set the 1P VS/multiplayer options by having the number of races you want (2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 8/ 10/ 12/ 16/ 32) and by setting the course order to In Order. That way you can start with the Nitro/Retro Cups from start to finish. All Cup is better as an option rather than a cup on its own.

Plus, I don't see it happening online, unless you're given more freedom over how many races you want.

IMO, playing All Cup mode is fun, but as an only child at the time I got Double Dash, I found it more fun to do All Cup mode alone rather than with my friend since All Cup takes a lot of time (and I never had a lot of time to spend with my friend).
