Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

No Birdo, no buy. :birdo:

All kidding aside, I'm intrigued by this. It's not a system seller, but I like what I saw in that short span (King Boo is nice, but the two item system has me really interested). I'd have to see more though.

I'd love to see Petey return, but I'm fine with King Boo.

Much depends on how much time the team dedicated to the new characters. The TO-DO list had the four I already mentioned, but Petey Piranha is clearly a Nintendo favorite now, so he might well be in this "update" if they add a few more characters beside those four. And Kamek. And Birdo.

If they added even more, I would see also King Bob-omb - he is clearly among the three main bosses of spin-off games (King Boo, Petey Piranha, King Bob-omb) - and Wiggler as well.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

One thing I HATE about Mario Kart 8's design is how after you finish a race, if you select View Replay, it becomes the default option for the following races. So, when I don't want to watch the replay (which is 99% of the time) I end up choosing View Replay instead of Next Race, which should be default. I thought they had removed that shit in an update a long time ago.

I think they did fix this. It just highlights the last thing you picked. So if you accidentally pressed View Replay it will remember that for the next race and have that highlighted. But if you picked next race it will keep it that way.

And besides, I feel that's a major nitpick. You lose what... 5 seconds quitting out of view replay to get to the next race?
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I still hate the hidden 10 minute time limit for every race, it's utter bullcrap

Replays don't even last that long. If you spend over a certain amount of time, the replay ends in the middle of a race. So it's not caused by the memory overload of too long replays.

We don't even know if that is DLC. It may just be a tech demo, and its contents won't be released to the public.
