May 6, 201411 yr The cars that appear out of nowhere aside, it's just a bit short and lacking any exciting jumps. It is far too easy to make an awful cock-up though, true. :kink:Â I don't mind the majority of the courses either, most of those that I've put on there are either because they're too easy/dull as courses or they have an element that'll get me knocked out of contention pretty easily.
May 6, 201411 yr Having just looked into this, I didn't realise it was exclusive to Wii U. I'm not buying one of those just for Mario Kart. Are there actually ANY other games worth playing on it? :/Â
May 6, 201411 yr Having just looked into this, I didn't realise it was exclusive to Wii U. I'm not buying one of those just for Mario Kart. Are there actually ANY other games worth playing on it? :/ Smash Bros and... there you go.
May 6, 201411 yr My favourite race track from Mario Kart is Wario's Stadium from the Gamecube DD! (I think that's what it was called).
May 6, 201411 yr what the fxck are those ninja turtle looking things??! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koopalings (probably)
May 11, 201411 yr Just thought I'd let you guys know who want the game but may not have pre-ordered it yet (and already have the console), GAME has it for pre-order for £39.99 (same as Amazon) but you get an exclusive new edition Wii Wheel (worth £10) for free as well as a free GAMEWare accessory (worth up to £5). One of their Mario Kart 8 pre-order bundles have already sold out so I'm not sure how long it will remain available but it's a great deal if you want the game! When you order Mario Kart 8 too by the way, you apparently get a code allowing you to download a Wii U game for free from the online shop which is fantastic!
May 11, 201411 yr Yeah, they've been doing that for a while with WiiU games, so you basically buy one get one free. It's probably the only way they can convince people to buy the bloody thing!
May 11, 201411 yr So I just assumed that Mario Kart 8 was going to be on the 3DS, but it's not!!!! Only just found it :cry: I don't have a Wii U
May 11, 201411 yr This looks fun, but I don't have a Wii U. Too bad they don't make it for the 3DS since I have one of those.
May 13, 201411 yr In what way? Almost everything I have seen, heard and read suggests it's BRILLIANT.
May 13, 201411 yr It sounds like it's too punishing for the winner again and that the tracks are 'samey'. I was hoping they'd improve on those aspects from the alst game (which was still brilliant, made my 2010 summer along with FFXIII and friends haha)
May 13, 201411 yr Too punishing? I do think the DEMON BLUE SHELL is awful, if that's what you mean, but then half the fun is being f***ed over inches from the finish line. And I think they do a great job of coming up with new and inventive track ideas with each new iteration of the game.
May 13, 201411 yr I'm kinda turning off Mario Kart. :( The new racers don't excite me at all, it just seems like more of the same. I had been thinking about getting the Wii U bundle with it (you get another free game if you register Mario Kart 8 online) but I'm not so sure anymore. I'll probably just wait for Smash Bros. Edited May 13, 201411 yr by Sabrewulf
