Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)

Nintendo should have different costumes for characters, that way people can pick the same character (offline) and it would be easier to tell them apart online.
Mario - Dr.Mario, Sunshine Mario, Pirate Mario
Peach - Nurse Peach, Long-Haired Peach, Pirate Peach
and so forth...(some from Mario Party 2)

hmm. well a discription wouldve been nice but if its good im all for it

Hopefully we'll get a holiday release for this game.

Every Mario Kart game I have played is really neat. I expect the same for this future title.

@Ulala That sounds awesome. U also know what I liked. In double dash, where u would unlock new cars and characters after u won each tournament. That would be something to look forward to in the future game.

Those 60 pixel per what ever the developer said really grabbed many's attention.

Why will you have 2 Laps not 3 Laps maybe too much space in the game in Mario Kart 8

60 Frames per second is pretty impressive

@Johnny12 because it is the demo that is why its not 3 laps

Mario Kart 8 has a new feature: Anti-gravity. pretty cool huh? but what really shocked me is that Mario Kart 8 not only has Internet/Wifi/Worldwide racing like it did in Mario Kart DS where it made its debut. Mr.Iwata said it will have LOCAL play. Local? how will this work? The handheld Mario Karts had local but, a home console with a local feature?

Ok. @ammar003

Can I have a time machine? I wanna go to Spring 2014 to get the game!

Can't wait!

@ItsaMeMario1126 I wish I had a time machine to get sonic lost world super mario 3d world and mario kart 8

I really need this game to come out, I love all Mario Kart games

@ItsaMeMario1126 No way, Double Dash is hands down the best. I have it on the Wii as well, but they took away snaking which was for skilled players and the battles of double dash were good enough to play for an entire night with 3 friends.

@luigi71 I agree, double dash ROCKS. my only complaint is that when you play multiplayer, there are no cpus, and i usally play with just my mum, as no one else will play it with me.

mariokart 8 looks like a whole bunch of fun but I don't have a wii u if only you could play it on 3ds or wii cause I got those but I dont have a wii u two bad!

there should be a pokemonkart game that would be awsome! well a pikagirl can dream ) :

Damn this looks amazing!!!

aw sh*t, now i need a wii u

I can see Wii U sales rising exponentially as soon as this and Super Smash Bros hit the market.

did anyone notice that now bikes can get the orange slide

@CthulhuBlooper
I'm pretty sure ALL of the home console Mario Karts had local play...

thanks god for custom Mario kart Wii levels, they will keep me going till MK8 release.

I wish this game has 5 players local mode.

Hey, if Mario Kart Wii sold more games than Minecraft, Animal Crossing: Wild World, and Mario Kart 7 COMBINED (which it did), I'm positive Mario Kart 8 can overrule it too.

Less than two months left

Really looking forward to this game. I sold my Xbox One because I was so bored with it and got the Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD Wii U Bundle and preordered this as well. Cannot wait for May 30th.

@Rosalina That sounds like it would be a good idea

I will be getting this!

Well, now we have a reason to buy a Wii U.

• MK 8
• SSB
• (Maybe ne pokémon colloseum game?)
  Get the hype train going

All aboard the hype train guys!

@GamerOZO Choo-Choo!

@epicdude12302 I bet every Wii U owner has their ticket...

The best Mario Kart ever! 10/10... Period.

Mario Kart 8 - 10/10

@Rosalina Good idea!

◄ My kind of game X3

I'm looking for friends to add so I can play with them on Mario Kart 8. My name is Clive44

I think them adding some DLC whether its costumes, new karts, or new tracks might really help the gameplay. When I bought Mario Kart 8 I expected a large game just like double kart dash and the games following. But what I noticed was that it felt very "bare bones" per say, for example I felt like the roster was not very extensive like it was in the past or that they could have added better tracks to show off the HD qualities or possibly even more kart customization. Do not get me wrong I love playing Mario kart 8 its a household treasure, but there is a part of me that wishes they will add on more dlc (than currently revealed) and that the amiibo's will bring more gameplay and diversity in drivers and karts!

There are 3 DLC's!!! One that includes the Mercedes-Benz' and the others include characters' karts' courses' and cups! In addition' if you get both of the ones with characters' karts' courses and cups' you get colored shy guys and yoshi's!

I was just thinking;

The amiibo's you can use in MK8 are: Mario, Luigi, DK, Peach, Yoshi, captain Falcon, Link, Fox, Samus and Kirby.

The first five amiibo's are already in the game, captain Falcon and Link have their own racing track...
Could this mean that Fox, Samus and Kirby get their own tracks as well in DLC pack 2?

Question for all of you! I have MK8 -rest removed due to caps-

Lay off the caplocks

Best racing game on the Wii U! =)

I really like the Mario Kart games.

whats it called when you hit off of someone and get a boost?

Truly my most favorite game on the wii u so far. Love playing this online versus others!

Who needs Forza, Need for Speed and Gran Turismo when there is Mario Kart 8

With the added DLC, I honestly think this is my favourite MK game of them all. Fun to play, great tracks, loads of characters and kart options, beautiful to look at and the sound/music are just fantastic too.

This Games is great! Tracks 10/10, Karts/Customization (although I don't really care) 10/10, Characters 7.5/10| PinkGold Peach BAD, M Mario Meh, All of the DLC characters (except for Dry Bowser) Disappointing, No Diddy, Bowser Jr., King Boo, Birdo, Petey, or Dry Bones but another baby c'mon! (Well they did bring 3/6 of those characters back in MK8DX) But don't let me get started on Battle Mode! In total, 9.6 out of 10.
