Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

Inklings? Oh...this probably means that we'll see them in Smash, le siggghhhh.

The new Battle Mode looks great! Love how much detail and effort they put into the Battle Stadium! But what about new tracks? I modded Mario Kart 8 too and the Switch's launch lineup looks...bad. 16 new tracks will make me bite.

A nice detail that I spotted is that COM characters use all sorts of karts now!
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

theres no new tracks in this version

only battle arenas
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

It'll probably carry all the absolute bull*bleep* Mario Kart 8's Battle Mode always had, just in a condensed form, so now, those asses with Triple Greens and Fireballs take even shorter to knock you out. Plus, bouncing shells will be even more of a hazard so you're all but guaranteed to turn into a ghost and just be a useless spiteful little thing driving around.

But if they do alter things beyond arenas, then that's good.

Edit: After watching Treehouse. Looks like they added invincibility frames and added respawning, which is very good. Though that in of itself won't be enough for me to cough up 60 bucks.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

i'm disappointed in no new tracks..... but i think i'm still going to buy this with the money i got for christmas because mario kart 8 is my favourite game and having it be portable is pretty sweet, plus there's always hope of switch-exclusive dlc maybe???

also dry bones
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

So I was watching the treehouse thing and the character select screen has a ? icon in the third party section. New character? (Or it could be a random button, which would be eh)

Also this game is appearantly native 1080p instead of 720p like the original Mario Kart 8, so that's nice.

Still no new race tracks :'(
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I think this port will omit the 8 battle stages (the race courses) from the original, and will be replaced with 8 actual battle arenas.

If they actually did, time to say goodbye to N64 Yoshi Valley.
 
The Tree-House talking about Deluxe?

:o I seen the revilement but not the Tree-House play i'll look into later glad Bowser.Jr is makin a comeback it happens to be my leaders all time favorite ;D

the inklings are kinda random thought :-/ i'll take a certain hedgehog in a mario kart race anyday...
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

But they literally got lazy with everything else.

The CSS is still that damn shade of blue , not even a darker tone

Not even a remix of the CSS theme , to make it look more different

Sorry if that sounds like nitpicking , but they are not really trying to make different enough to convince MK8 owners to buy it again , thats for sure.

Re: Mario Kart 8

the treehouse footage has the css being blue, that background is probably just for the demo like how the original demo had mario circuit as the css background
