I understand. But in the long run, you're still getting the game ;)

Eventually. Just not right off the bat.
 
Am I the only one who thinks that they should just scrap the SNES courses from the Retro courses? They're nice and all, but I don't really find them to be all that memorable.

No, not really. I think they should scrap the retro courses from the most recent Mario Karts, such as Mario Kart Wii. I don't get much nostalgia from racing in Koopa Cape you know.

NOOOO!!! These courses have an incredible value of nostalgia... plus, they didn't make any Vanilla Lake nor Bowser Castle, these courses would be awesome in 3D. I think they should recreate every courses of a MK but not sure if it is even possible :P If the MK of the Wii U don't have 5 retro cups, it will be hard to include stages of all the previous installments. :o
 
Wow, SNES Rainbow Road looks amazing! Nintendo really did a great job here! I too also love the plane body piece as well (I'll probably be using this piece when I get to play the game).

It also seems that we got new artwork for the game for the rest of the characters. However, it appears that only Toad, Daisy, and the Mii were the only characters who got new artwork while the others got recycled art...:

It looks amazing :D

I cant wait.
They definitely did amazing on Bowser's Castle and Rainbow Road. In fact Nintendo outdid themselves with everything about this game! Nothing compares to this if you ask me. I'm gonna be playing this way more than I played the others. And thats ALOT.

SNES Rainbow Road looks completely fantastic too :D
I Reeeeeallllllly do not want to wait for this anymore. And I have to wait extra for it to be shipped as well D:
 
Hm, while rewatching the Lightning Cup video it seems to me that the Airship Fortress did change quite a bit in comparison to the other retro courses (perhaps except for SNES Rainbow Road). The background is a lot more stormier and has less of that purple tone from MKDS. The interior of the airship looks quite advanced as well. Also is it just me or are those Banzai Bills moving much faster this time? Some nice additions here as well.

Yeah, the Banzai bills are going atleast twice the usual speed. And they werent banzai bills last time, they were Bullet Bills. that might explain it.
 
There's something I don't get. How can Shy Guy be classified as a middleweight?! It looks more like lightweight material, considering that it was a lightweight in Mario Kart DS.
 
^Shy Guy is a middleweight now? That was unexpected especially since it appears that Peach is now a lightweight. Were the weights of the characters confirmed from some source as I'm curious to know what the other weights are.

Also it appears that Single Player VS mode will indeed not be in this game. That is unfortunate as the vs mode was one of my favourite parts about Mario Kart. Guess it will be just like Double Dash all over again...I do hope All Cup Tour returns if this is the case...
 
THOSE FUCKERS DIDN'T GIVE ROSALINA A NEW ARTWORK. THEY JUST RE-USED MARIO KART WII'S.

RAGING NOW. CAP RAGING RIGHT NOW.
