Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

While I hate their inclusion as well, I think the two "clones" have more business in Mario Kart than Link and the Animal Crossing characters, for the sole reason that they originated in a Mario game.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

actually, i see link and animal crossing as guest characters so even i believe that they're far more substantial options than the costumed guys

it's like saying link doesn't belong in soul calibur or pac-man doesn't belong in mario kart arcade gp
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I don't have a problem with any of the characters
I just know neither me nor my dad (we're the only ones who play mk8 in my life) are ever going to use the new characters no matter who they are, and also the chances of us using the new karts are slim
so it's a bit of a waste of money paying for them when all I want is the tracks
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I see Link and the Animal Crossing characters that are novelties that will be fun to play as for the first few days or so. But it's really the tracks that will withstand more playability. I don't care who else they put in the roster anyway, cause this is Mario Kart. Any new character will pretty much play similarly to another. I don't take Mario Kart rosters or most Mario Spin-Off games as seriously as I do Smash Bros. Mario Kart has not given me a reason to care for any standards for the roster. The only exception may be is that everyone playable in Mario Kart 64 should return in every installment, but they're pretty much all guaranteed anyway.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

The reason I care about Mario spinoff rosters is that that's the only time a large all-star cast of Mario characters competes together. I don't like it that my favorite Mario characters miss out all the time.
