on may 30, Mario kart 8 comes out, but that's in two months which seems like forever

Tell me how much you want it

I don't want it. I have MK DS, MK Double Dash, and MK 64 on an emulator. I have enough.

Looks pretty fun, I like the idea of the Koopalings as playable characters, and the anti-gravity mechanic.

I think it will be better than people think. It's definitely going to top Mario Kart Wii in every aspect, and that's saying a lot.

Really? I thought Mario Kart Wii was a massive disappointment, but maybe that's nostalgia goggles talking. It's hard to beat Double Dash for me; the controls felt so crisp and the variety from unique items and character combos gave the game so much flavor. I was sad that Nintendo ditched the mechanic in MKW.

I will always miss the super OP Chain Chomp. It was basically a Bullet Bill but you can use it anytime. Also, Baby Park is still one of my favourite tracks to date, because all the thrown items litter the floor and it's like driving through a minefield.

Yeah, Double Dash is my favorite too.
Why didn't they ever do the two racers on one cart ever again?

Yeah, that was pretty fun. I like that game better for its racing and items and 2 people to a kart,but the Wii one was literally the first non-laggy online Wii game.

I want it. Bad. …Also did anybody else see the “8” and “box thing” items? :3

I don't know about you, but I don't like the original game. Granted, it is a bit impressive, but F-Zero was a better racing game for the SNES.

Honestly, did anybody want Pink Gold Peach? Waste of a character slot.

I am so pumped for this game! The courses look awesome, the graphics splendid, the items are really cool, and it'll be great!

Mario Kart 8 by far will be one of the most exciting Mario Kart of all time. Even the retro courses are new becuase so much has changed with them, if someone wasn't excited about Mario Kart 8, I would tell them to see a doctor and fast .

The only thing is, they haven't learnt from their mistakes. Let's take Mario Kart 7, the charcter roaster is HORRIBLE. Who's idea was it for adding metal Mario and Queen Bee? Queen bee is a minor charcter and don't even get me started on Metal Mario. The official Mario Kart seven claims that Metal Mario is Mario's main enemy (casually throwing Bowser out the window). Waluigi and Bowser Jr. deserved a place in Mario Kart 7.

Now like a said, Mario Kart 8 is going to be a great (did I say great?), outstanding game though the charcter roaster is not as bad, but still a few flaws. The Koopalings was a nice touch but Pink Gold Peach?!? The name just doesn't work and wastes a perfect slot for a good character…

Anyway, too bad I got a SNES, GameCube and Mega Drive for my birthday instead of a a Wii U.

I still think Mario Kart 7's roster is slightly more horrible than 8's. Think of ALL the characters they could've used instead of a literal Peach clone in Mario Kart 8, though. Also, Queen Bee was stupid and I was actually OK with Metal Mario, though I would've preferred Shadow Mario.

Exactly what I thought! Honestly, Dry Bones should have returned. Or Diddy Kong.

Well, I'm going to try to get a Wii U since I don't have one.

I agree the character choices were not good. Why did they add like 4 bowser-type enemies from NSMB U? They should add blue Mario from Sunshine or even someone like Professor E. Gadd. But either way, for all we know there could be unseen characters (for example there was no visual of dry bowser and I'm sure he's in).

Aside from characters, 5-star graphics, maps, and online play I'd say.

I wish you could, like, create your own tracks! Perhaps an unlockable mode where you drag bits of track together (like Scratch blocks). THat would be awesome!

Dislcaimer - I don't think that's in there :-(
