Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

so am i the only one who doesn't like toad's turnpike

(mushroom city is so much better how come we haven't gotten that as a retro track yet)
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I like all the N64 Retro Courses xP (But then again there's not any N64 track I hate originally. So I'm a bit biased there)

N64 Wario Stadium hasn't been done yet.
I hope it doesn't because it's horrendous.

Me and my brother played this together yestoday and I played a bit on my own today and I have to say, this game is much better than Mario Kart 7 which I found to be good but flawed in so many areas.

I like the new anti-gravity feature, I saw as a lazy idea at first, but it changed up things a bit and it was used to most of it's potential. The only thing missing was it never got used for loops or corkscrews but it's most likey we'll be seeing it again in the next game so there alaways another time but I liked it neverless.

The roster is eh, there's some dumb choices which made me go WTF. If you thought Metal Mario and Baby Daisy were both bad enough, they had to add in Pink Gold Peach and Baby Rosalina. And then they were the Koopalings, which were nice but took a little too much space that could of been used for Bowser Jr., Diddy Kong, Birdo, Wigglier etc. Everything else is decent though and I 'mgald they given Honey Queen the boot.

The tracks are the best thing about this game though. They were no really boring generic courses this time round but courses that I felt had effort but into them. My favorites were Sky Guy Falls, Mount Wario, Couldtop Cruise and the new Bowser's Castle. The new rainbow road was a disappointment but the N64 makes up for it. The rest the retro tracks felt like they were old but new - which is what they should be. I really liked them all. (expect Music Park which has nothing new added)

Online works well, Nintendo are starting to catch up with other companies with their online and are aren't using as much outdated features. There's no lag at all (Mario Kart 7 was full of lag) and you can get playing very quickly, there's a lot less much waiting this time round. Battle Mode is decent but it would be amazing if was on arenas not courses. Overall I feel like this is something I will be coming back to all the time when I'm board. Keep it up because you still need more titles like this to sell you Wii U's.

Don't forget about Grumble Volcano, which had nothing new added (except the glider panels, but they were all optional and they don't really count). They could of made the cave section antigravity. For Music Park, I can't see any anti-gravity, except maybe the two xylophones.
We're sure not adding any underwater to either of the courses either. Music Park would make no sense, since it's floating. If you try to swim through lava in Grumble Volcano, you're bound to burn your fucking face off. But with that SMS glitch, anything is possible, I guess.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

The worst thing about this game is the blocking off of Peach's castle in Royal Raceway. I also dislike the cheering fans everywhere.
