Welcome to the official discussion thread for Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U!

This May, one game will define MULTIPLAYER FUN on Wii U. That game, is Mario Kart 8!
Mario Kart has been a Nintendo staple since it's SNES debut over two decades ago. Only two Nintendo products neglected to have an entry and each entry that has existed is a charming title in someone's eyes. Entries like Double Dash on Gamecube helped push the boundaries of creativity and uniqueness, while more recent titles have continued to refine a core experience. Mario Kart 8 seeks to continue that trend with it's jaw-dropping HD visuals, Anti-gravity racing, and incredibly well-designed tracks. With all the characters known, the deep customization possibilities to each individual racer, the classic 32-total track count... there's so much to discuss and share and debate. Reviews are just coming in now and while I'll post a few below but they're not all gushing with pride. User Stephen recently made a thread aiming to have a more comprehensive list of reviews available. So... Are you impressed with the Mario Kart TV feature, excited for the Super Horn, or bummed at how battle mode has changed? Share your thoughts on the game below, now, upon release, and well after! Below you'll find a list of Nintendo Network IDs as compiled by our own Mop It Up! Be sure your friends are added to your console! Mop It Up's NNID List of Mario Kart 8 Players

@Super_ConzoI actually haven't been online in a while due to real life and trying to get three stars on all the cups in single player. Didn't understand why everyone said the game was so hard until I started playing mirror mode. Holy crap, the game can tear me to pieces at times. @ZeroI've only tried the battle mode against the AI so far, and while I miss the arenas big time I think it's an enjoyable mode, if not comparable to the old stuff. Would love to see them add arena style levels in an update at some point, even though that probably won't happen. Challenge Mode was really sweet in MKDS, wouldn't have complained if they'd had one of those in here either. I love the game right now, and I love how it feels when driving, but I was probably more impressed with the course designs in Mario Kart Wii at the time (although, thinking back, the best ones in MK8 are probably just as good as the best ones back then, in my opinion), and more obsessed with Mario Kart 64. If Nintendo were to give us a downloadable level or two, the odd vehicle and accessories, and just generally keep entertaining the Mario Kart fanbase through this game I think I can see myself playing this for a long time, though. |
