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

I JUST PLAYED IT OH GOD IT WAS GREAT
I played Mario Circuit and Electrodrome, and even though I finished in first on both I found the game not very easy. I think they have it set to 100cc.

I think it was 100cc too!! I think it was the perfect difficulty!! The controls were really intuitive as well. For me, I think each setting will provide exactly what I want it to! Btw I love Electrodrome, it was SUCH a fun course

I always thought 50cc and 100cc were too easy, while 150cc was (most of the time) too hard, but in this one 100cc seems to be the perfect difficulty!

Agreed! I think they will do really well with the difficulty settings this time around.
 
If only I had a Wii U... Oh well maybe once I get some more money lol. I love the MK series. :) I technically have most of the versions (Super MK and MK 64 are the retro downloads on the Wii). I'm only really missing Super Circuit for GBA and Double Dash for GC. Oh well. :)
 
I love on how Mario Kart 8 appears to be the most balanced iteration ever made to the franchise. According to reviews, the item distribution is more reasonable this time around, which makes the game less about a game of luck and encourage more on the skill. With the coin item thrown to the mix, its frequency ensures that the first place racer won't always have a defensive item all the time. That makes the game less reliant on Spiny Shells to properly balance the game. The review of the game from GameXplain even go as far as saying that it's possible to do an entire cup without actually seeing that one item at least once.

Could not be happier about this! I'm so happy about the nerf to the blue shell.

THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA
 
Considering I play with items on frantic whenever possible this kinda disappoints me.
Though it now makes sense why the promo pack comes with a toy blue shell. It'll remind people that it exists. :p

On another note, 1 week tomorrow! ^_^
