Desaturated you say? what about dat bloom?
Maybe it was the footage they used in the trailer.
I just saw a couple of hands on videos from YouTube and though they're off-screen, the game seems to be pretty colorful.
I hope they balance the bikes this time around.
Bikes had an huge advantage over karts using boost wheelies it wasn't even funny to the point everyone were using bikes instead of karts.

Mario Kart of all things is the only Nintendo game that looks like a proper, new generation project/sequel (excluding X, which we already knew). I sure as fuck wasn't expecting that.
Still blows my mind how good this game looks. I hope it plays better than Mario Kart Wii since it has bikes.
If you're only looking at graphics, then sure.

Super Circuit, MKDS, MK Wii and MK7 all had retro courses.
MK8 looks amazing. The MArio Kart games always seem to be the ones that show of the hardware the most, and this is no exception. Shows that the WiiU is more capable than current gen if comparing MK8 to the recent Sonic racing games. And being a Nintendo game, you know it will have a rock solid frame rate, unlike any game Sumo has released.

Hmm I don't like MK Wii much, and this seems like a direct sequel. Hopefully they remove the wheelies from the bikes cause it's pretty annoying having to do them all the time to get an advantage.

It looks almost toy like in terms of graphics (in a good way), such a major shame this isn't until 2014.
If this came out in a month or so I'd buy a Wii U tomorrow.

Only one Mario Kart game per generation. I repeat. ONLY ONE! What the f... are you talking about?

These are some seriously beautiful bullshots.
Actually, from what I've seen from the actual in-game footage, any screenshot pretty much qualifies as a bullshot -- it's so beautiful. BEAUTIFUL
I am so excited for this, it looks incredibly fun!

720p if we use the direct screenshoots as a reference.

It just says Mario Kart
How in the world does this look so good when 3d world looked so bland

And actual gameplay, with all that new pseudo F-Zero element. Nothing comes even close to this much (proper, useful) ,,change'' in either Donkey Kong, Mario 3D World or Smash. Right now, these feel like half assed, rushed rehashes. Mario Kart doesn't, nor does X.
That's most Nintendo IPs actually...
I was admiring the screens during the GAF downtime and some of them can be mistaken for the promoart (especially as I first looked at them on the Wii U Gamepad HA HA). I honestly never imagined Mario Kart would look this good because of their 60FPS philosophy. Loving it!
What are you telling me here? I said they were in the last three and you listed the last three.
I'm not really feeling it with the antigravity feature but seeing more of it will probably help.
Little bit baffled that gliding and underwater is back though - hoping it wasn't to necessitate Mario Kart 7 tracks.
The game looks genuinely great, regardless. Some shots borderline on FMV, even if the simple Mario aesthetic and first-time HD is a result of it.

That is pretty much what I expected a Next-Gen Mario Kart to look like. Nice. Anyone who is fan of Mario Kart and hasn't picked up a Wii U yet will be getting one next year for this at the latest.

I have to say, I am impressed with this. Some stages and elements do look like MK7+, but the wall climbing is cool and mother fucking WALUIGI is back, so yay for that.

This looks awesome. I never thought I would say that about another Mario Kart game. But this was by far Nintendo's best game.

Mario Kart 8 is as ambitious and beautiful as I envisioned the 3D Mario game to be.

The game looks very good from what I've seen but the mention of 12 racers from the dev video and the re-addition of bikes is making me worry. Mario Kart Wii is a game I don't want to relive.

Can't complain about a track based on a Möbius strip.
well, 3D Mario and 2D Mario is also one per Hardware (Galaxy 2 more the exception then the rule). The DS even only had a remake as its 3D mario
