You cared enough to post this shit in a fucking mario kart thread?
At E3. Anomua said as much.
Really? I must have been out of the loop. Will there be a conference?

I believe he said that at last years New York Comic Con when he was showing A Link Between Worlds.
We don't know if there will be a live stage show or another big Nintendo Direct. We found out last year toward the end of April what they were doing for last years E3. Possible we'll have to wait for the end of the month to find out what they're doing this year. They'll be on the show floor like normal though. Same as last year on that front.

He already stated multiple times that it'll be shown at E3. They already wanted to tease it last E3, but decided against it.
I hope this thing is the most amazing fucking Zelda game ever - Nobody needs another Skyward Sword.
Only in 4 Player local muliplayer, just like Mario Kart Wii.

You should go back to MK64 and refresh your memory. The only way you would ever fall off the course is if you botched the big drop shortcut. The whole track was bordered by fences.
Skyward Sword was not and is not a bad game. The idea that it was is and has always been insane. Neither was the motion controls. It had some padding issues and to much hand holding at times though. Neither of which are major issues.

Wasn't really looking to buy MK8 but that Rainbow Road trailer looked awesome. I might have to bite.

The Mariokart 8 reveal at E3 was the reason I bought a U in June. Already preordered. If only the release would get bumped up.
I'd take a game like Skyward Sword with improvements to some small things tbqh.
That's Fzero X not Mario Kart 64.
In MK64, there's fences everywhere.
And it made me think that I liked that race way better in FzeroX too...

But I am a whole player! Does that mean 15fps for me?
How is one just half a player anyway?
By having one ball only?!
Haha! xD

watching these trailers, I think I finally understand why I dislike most of Nintendos main stable. Those sound effects. Urgh.
Still, the game does look good. Ill just have to play it with the sound off.

I'm not sure but isn't it possible to turn off soundFX only?
Because dat score. You can't... no.
holy FUCK
Every time I see this image, I'm reminded weirdly enough of Sega's aesthetics. Something about this shot just reminds me of the final scene in the Sonic CD ending where Sonic & Metal Sonic are racing down Stardust Speedway with the gigantic "carnival city in the cosmos" backdrop.
TL;DR This is the best art I've seen in a Nintendo game in a while. Like whoa.

Was there any kind of rumored release date for mario kart? I sure could use a new game.

It's not a rumor. May 30th has been officially announced for a while.

Hmm I guess if that would happen, people would ask questions about 5-player mode and then they would ask for 5-player mode + online competitors and when that happens, they want 5-player mode + online competitors with all MK7 maps included so you can race agains 3DS players, too and so on...
please understand

I don't, Pikmin is another game that really would have benefited from this.
True. Soo... Pikmin 4 ?

That looks great. Never seen that photo...how old is it?
It just debuted, but you don't give a shit though.

I don't, but that doesn't keep the game from looking beautiful.
But Skyward Sword is the best Zelda game.

While we're on the topic of mario kart, do we know if it's going to have the option to split screen over the gamepad, so if you're doing 2 player, 1 person can use the tv and the other the gamepad to each have a dedicated screen?

What are you, some kind of MK tsundere?

But it's not a Mario Kart thread. It's IGN telling people to stay up for unknown Nintendo-related news. Maybe he was hoping for something else besides MK and was disappointed.

I was. I also edited my original message, but I'll post it here as well:
My original post contributed absolutely nothing and was clear troll bait. I'm sorry; I'm having a rough day. I shouldn't use GAF as an excuse to vent off steam where it isn't needed so again, apologies.
Wrong, because I do.

Personally, I think it's amazing solely on when you consider how low-poly/blocky Double Dash!!/Mario Kart Wii were even for their respective systems. I can't even believe how much of a leap this is.
Some people just want attention.

I'm a nintendo fan and do not care at all for mario kart. I leave....disappoint. I'm glad others like it a lot though. Me want more smash bros info.

Every time a trailer for this game is released I get surprised Nintendo hasn't done the obvious and put in Toon Link.

Dat Rainbow Road... Lawd it's beautiful!
I'm fully prepared to get last place each and every time there. Because I know I just won't survive that stage, ever.
Gets harder and harder with every sequel.
Isn't that the N64 remake rainbow road? Any screens of the new and original rainbow road?
Because it's Mario Kart and not Smash Kart?

The NEW Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 8 has not be shown at all yet, but devs say it will be spectacular. (whatever)
