I just learned that Toad's Factory wasn't in this game after all. Since the February Direct I always thought it was because of a screenshot that really reminded me of it, but it wasn't it. So there's only one unknown retro track left. I say it's either a retro Bowser's Castle or a fourth 3DS track.

Please don't say a retro Bowser Track. Wario Colosseum is a perfect choice for an anti-gravity track.

What are some of the characters left, you would still like to see included? With the character roster already at 27, I think a few inclusions like, Bower Jr, Kamek, Birdo, and Diddy Kong would round out the list nicely.

A few more obscure characters wold be great, such as E. Gadd, or Wart.

Does anyone think Retro will get to design another DK track? The one that did for Mario Kart 7 was great, and a Tropical Freeze track would be (and look!) amazing. Especially if David Wise composed the music for it!

I like makin' games!

Petit Computer games!!
and SmileBASIC games!

That's assuming we trust GameExplain's reading destinations in Sunshine Airport. And that those are indeed retro tracks.

I hope someone uses that video as proof that this is a bigger leap in graphics than other game consoles.

yes I am suggesting someone will use N64 to Wii U to try to prove Wii U is better because it's a bigger jump than PS3 to Ps4.

Wart would actually be a good throwback.

Alternatively you could just point to Mario Kart 8 running at 60fps, HD resolutions, all of the shiny with two player split screen. Then point to the PS4 and its complete lack of any split screen multiplayer games as well as the general trend towards 30fps just to keep the visuals up. Drop the mic, walk away.

It'd be cool if they add Nabbit.

This.

It would make sense too cuz Marios always, like, trying to catch up to Nabbit. That would be 20% cooler with cars and bikes involved ;D

My hype for Smash Bros. 4 is Officially OVER 9,000!!!!!! >8D

Though I still got plenty of hype left over for Mario Kart 8, Persona Q, Yarn Yoshi, anddddd Sonic Boom ;D

Retro is not involved in the DK 8 development. Resources from Retro were added to the MK 7 team to be ready in time for the 2011 holiday season.

If Tropical Freeze courses would be added to MK8, Nintendo would adapt the visuals and music to the MK 8 style, which would be an interesting mix. Some of the David Wise soundtracks for Tropical Freeze (specially world 2) would sound much better with a live-musician treatment as in MK8. Looking back on the path the Nintendo music department (not counting composers-for-hire-projects like Tropical Freeze) has been following during the past 7 years, I think the main target Nintendo is aiming at right now is a complete Zelda HD game with a full live-symphonic soundtrack.

Anyone looking forward to voice chat in MK8 might want to forget about it, it looks like the game won't have it. Just a warning to those wanting voice chat, though I don't know if there really was anyone here who was expecting MK8 to have the feature in the first place.

Anyways, bring on May 30th!

Thank goodness, I am glad I won't have random people yelling at me online.

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

Not really a deal breaker, I end up muting everyone half the time anyways.
