Mario Kart 8 200CC (speed) announced

This time a facebook video Mute City
Thanks J@hranimo for the heads up.

This is incredible now it truly feels like F-Zero. Dat jump... he is not flying he is falling with fucking style! Just amazing can't wait to race at 200cc.

I hope that the lack of music in these vids means that sound options are coming. Gotta crank them tunes.

Hnnnnnnnnghhhhh hope this becomes a thing! Right now I can barely hear the F-Zero song when racing and that sucks.

I've actually been curious about that. How the game would detect you if you come off a big jump at full speed. Would it let you fall and allow the momentum to carry you or would it make you fly? While this is only one track it looks like the game is just going to let you go if there is enough speed.
 
Straight up trolling F-Zero fans with that video

F-Zero: Metroid Hunters will be at E3. Made by Retro under Miyamoto's supervision from their new studio on the moon. It will come with the WiiU-Expansion Pack, boosto-powering up the WiiU to Titan XX levels of graphical performance at 4k/120FPS*.

*Warning: Will set house on fire, and possibly cause zero-point collapse of the vacuum in your immediate vicinity.
 
this would make me so happy. been crying for this since day 1. the music is too good to be drowned out by all the ruckus.

I actually like the current sound levels, there's something satisfying and humorous about first turns on certain levels with the music playing and everyone getting smacked around by dragged items. :lol
 
It's kinda funny how I think the most "plain" levels will immediately become some of the best in the game as a result of 200cc. Yoshi's Circuit GCN is seriously going to be the trail of champions. Anyone who consistently does well on that course in Frantic mode is going to be the King/Queen of GAF Mario Kart.

I actually thought of Yoshi's Circuit because even on 100cc, I can never stay on the part of the track that forms the Yoshi spikes. That's going to be wild.

This is why we need Neo Bowser City back. Those turns are the end with no guardrails and slippery traction will truly separate the men from the boys.

I actually think Yoshi Circuit will be one of the worst tracks with this mode.
Lots of sharp turns and shit. I'll be braking a lot :/

Fixed.

But seriously turns are gonna be a pain, glad I'm used to indrift bikes. @_@
 
Oh god this looks so fucking great. I can't wait to play that.

Mario Kart 8 is turning into a serious contender for my "game of the generation".
 
I'm actually confused about this - does the F-Zero model kart (which I've never used) have a "hidden" glider which functions like regular gliders, or is that seriously just a regular, glider-less jump and he's traveling that far?

Mushroom just propelled Mario that far, 200cc.

The latter. Mute city having unique driving physics also helps.
