Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

Nintendo seems to be really going all-out with mario kart 8 as their last shot of saving the wiiu and I'd be surprised if the current roster is all we're gonna get, considering many classics are missing at the moment. When's the last time Nintendo has revealed a full roster including every single unlockable pre-release anyway? I have no doubts there are more playable characters than currently revealed.

Smash Bros?

Aside from that, MK8 and Super Smash Bros. 4 will make Wii U sales jump. But it might just end up like the Gamecube where Melee and Double Dash were the best-sellers by far. But not alot of other games came close to either game. But a repeat of the Gamecube is looking like a better situation then it is now. If it turns around the Wii U sales better then I expect it too I will be pleasantly surprised.

This is going to be the first time where default characters will outnumber the racer slots in a race, if I'm not mistaken.

Great to see that Rosalina is unlockable once again. So there IS a missing row at the beginning... Maybe the 30-character roster we already saw is also missing one more row! I hope the classics come back and at least one more newcomer who is actually worth it. Rosalina is the only unlockable character I'm kind of excited about, and I say "kind of" because I hate her new voice, so I don't think I'll be using her very often in this game. Since I don't have King Boo either, I'll stick to Yoshi and Bowser.

By the way, Baby Luigi and Lefty, I know you hate online play, but if I invited you to play with me (and some other users from this forum), would you do it? It's not like you're going to play with cheating strangers. I don't promise anything, though.

Maybe but don't count on it.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

How is there going to be an additional column/row, exactly? I like Diddy Kong and Browser Jr., but can we get this optimistic?

I don't mind playing online with you guys. I don't know if you find our play style questionable... Since we prefer searching for CPU Wario, getting a star, and ramming him off a cliff. We'd never do this to human players. The lack of options, however, is very offputting for us in online play, and I have my sister to play with, so maybe that's why we're so turned of
