I really thought this game was going to disappoint, but it far excited expectations.

It looks great.

Looks fantastic. Out of 3D Mario, Smash, and this, I was not expecting MK to be the one to impress me the most.

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.
Wow. Never thought I would say this, but I wish this was out this year instead of 3D Mario.

For better or worse, I agree with this post. 3D mario is whatever(never though I'd say that about a 3D mario but here we are), but this shit looks impressive. Beautiful, 1080p/60fps, cool dynamic course design, hopefully some good online...2014 looks good for Wii-U so far

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
This the first time since MKDS that I'm actually excited for a Mario Kart game. It just looks damn good.

I never expected Mario Kart to be the best looking Wii U game, but I'll take it!

What tracks are you lot hoping to see in the retro cups? I'd love to revisit Wario Colosseum from Double Dash and Yoshi Valley from MK64.

Looks really nice! Easily the most impressive Nintendo game made. Those characters aren't far away from the concept renders! But wasn't sonic supposed to be in the game? Sumo hinted something or it was BS

It has F-Zero vibes, and I like it. But I also want F-Zero!

Also, it's a bummer it's not coming out this year.

I never bought 7 so I'm excited for it. I kinda hope it has most of 7's tracks so I don't have to buy both.

I loved playing MK Wii online even if I usually got stomped, so I'll probably play this a lot when people are over.

I've waited a long time for an HD Mario Kart and I'm glad this is it. Looks great so far! Also the later release date gives Nintendo more time to drop the Wii U's price so I can pick one up for this.

Looked very impressive. The anti-gravity bit will be quite interesting. Underwater was impressive as well.

Shame it's not out in 2013.. the sooner they could have gotten this out the better as it will sell for the remainder of the generation.

I have this fear that that F-Zero is dead internally and MK8 - with it's corkscrew tracks and flips - this is the compromise Nintendo has made.

:( :( :( :(

This is looking really nice, great lighting and shading. Very impressed, it looks so fun!
I just hope this time we can play online with 4 local players, rather than just 2 like in Mario Kart Wii.

visually many people thought it would look like Sonic Racing tranformed (a game that is totally fine visually and plays awesome), but for our all surprise MK8's visuals seem to shit on SRT visuals and that with 60 fps oO
