The big thread of all the new recently announced Mario Kart 8 news

24 very long, boring days of constantly looking at google just to see stuff about MK8.

;__;

I know it's horrible!! I'm running out of people who will let me geek out on them and tell them all about the new game...gah time can't move fast enough!! Let's be buddies and talk about the game together, maybe that will help haha :)

lol okay :)

But I hope there's a couple more mystery characters revealed. That would be really exciting!

That or some new mode similar to the one in MKDS. o:

Oh yeah! I think it was mission mode!! That was a nice change of pace! Mystery characters would be amazing, it's funny the roster is so big but it feels so small because of the lack of variety in characters, I love most of the characters though!
 
I wasn't keen on getting it and now that I've see. The character reveal I want it even less...


But I will probs get it just for the free game YOLO
 
If that's true, a couple of the, are surprising to be default characters, like metal Mario, Shy guy and Rosalina o:

They're not, someone must've formatted that table wrong. That bottom row of "Default Characters" are all unlockable. But I hope that they do add in some surprise characters! They're also missing some character pics (actually idk) so I might not refer to that...but yeah the last section at the bottom is interesting!!

Mario Kart 8 is the number one best selling Wii U game, along with the bundle being at number 2!! I'm really happy how many systems are selling because of this, more people need to experience how amazing the Wii U is! It's so underrated!!
 
I really wish they would add a hammer brother character and add the hammer as a new weapon being as Mario used it in the original Donkey Kong and it would double with the hammer brother. When used it could either be used as a thrown projectile or a hammer that when you slam it down it causes anyone around the kart to be hit.

That aside I'm really excited about the game, I went to a street pass meet today and played some Mario Kart 7 with 5 other people and it was such a great laugh :)

I'm kinda worried because I didn't preorder a copy at gamestop... Hopefully they aren't sold out :x
 
They add the koopalings but not Bowser Jr.? No. :|
I'm hoping he's a DLC at least. ;u; He's my all time favorite Mario character! <3
I'll still get the game cuz I freaking love Mario Kart. XD and YOSHI VALLEY! OMG!

If you can you should preorder. I didn't with Mario Golf and that is a less popular game but it still was sold out.
 
I meant if you were going to pick up in store but i think any time up until a few days before the release date, is ok online since it only ships either one day before or on release day. (At least when preordering from GameStop) either way now is still a fine time to preorder!

Well, yes, I am going to pick it up in store.

ohhhh ok I see what you mean now sorry! They don't order the copies until like a week before release. So they rack up the preorders, then order the amout of pre orders they got and usually no more! Sorry for the confusion!

That's alright :)

I feel like I could get way without preordering. There's a Walmart by gamestop so if it's not there I can go to Walmart. But Ty c:
