Yes I think so. Did they mention whether the first person view for MK7 will be back?

That's because Nintendo are allowing him to use the infinite power of the cloud this time.
And of course the video shows how broken wheelies are in MK Wii.
So I recognized 3DS Music Park and 3DS Piranha Plant Slide, but apparently GCN Dry Dry Desert is also in the game? I see the screen shots with the desert course, but can we really tell from the brief glimpse that it's Dry Dry Desert? I mean, desert-themed levels tend to look more alike than not...
(For the record, I'd be totally cool with GCN Dry Dry Desert; I just want to know if people can tell from the course layout as seen in the media that it matches up)
Or even the map like in DS and 7. I'm really surprised that isn't there, but the placing is. :/Is the touch screen seriously a horn instead of the obvious rear view mirror?

Excellent, thanks for explaining, Alistair! I'm cool with it being GCN Dry Dry Desert.

Hey, someone tell me about this game's gamepad control scheme and what button you have to hold to accelerate.
Because if it's the A button yet again with no option to change it, that's fucking stupid. (I'd much rather hold Y so that I can still actually have some grip.)
It's definitely Dry Dry Desert
Here, I tried my best to explain it but the trailer from Nintendo's YouTube channel looks shitty, even in HD so a shot from the eShop version could be way more helpful.
The "racing area" is brigther than the limits or fence. If you look carefully, you'll notice both tracks have the same design in the background

I'm honestly surprised how good this game looks.
I really wish the Deluxe would be down to 250$ by the time this ships, I would totally buy one just for this game.
It'll almost certainly be down to at least $300, which is a little closer to the sweet spot.
Game of the Show for me, no doubt. I've put 70 hours into the multiplayer of Mario Kart 7, and I don't even want to know how long I've played the Wii version for. Game looks absolutely gorgeous, plus 60 fps is amazing news. I'm seriously considering buying a WiiU for this.
A bit disappointed about the choice of the retro tracks from the 3DS version - I feel that something like Rock Rock Mountain would showcase the graphics of the WiiU better. The new tracks look awesome though, and I can't wait to see what other retro tracks they'll pick this time - they'll be hard pressed for the N64 ones, that's for sure, they were already hard pressed for choosing good ones in the previous installment
The N64 tracks are all awful. Should crib old tracks mainly from SMK, SC and DS.

I don't think so. The only retro tracks revealed in the trailer besides Dry Dry Desert were Piranha Plant Slide and Music Park, both from 3DS.Seeing that desert comparison is...something. Is there any other graphic/track comparisons between the older games and this one?
This man knows what's up.Hey! Royal raceway and yoshi valley are fun.

They're running out of old tracks to revamp but Royal Raceway would be a good fit.

Good God the graphics are phenomenal.
Are we finally at that "Toy Story level graphics"?
I honestly think we are with this
I made a chart for this when MK7 came out...
Here it is! Not much left from MK64 if they don't start repeating tracks...
When they run out of tracks from Double Dash!! and N64, Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8 will take their places for Mario Kart 9
Tracks left from each game:
Super Mario Kart: 12
Super Circuit: 13
Mario Kart 64: 5
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!: 6 (counting Dry Dry Desert)
Mario Kart DS: 8
Mario Kart Wii: 12
Mario Kart 7: 16 (counting Piranha Plant Slide and Music Park)
Total: 72
Not to derail the track talk, but what do you guys think will happen with the roster? Mario Kart Wii had the biggest roster at 25 characters, but it got knocked down to 17 with Mario Kart 7.
I'm hoping for a big roster. I'd like to see them keep Shy Guy from 7 and maybe add a few characters from the "New" or "3D Land" series, since those seem to be the current Mario focus. Personally, my picks would be Lemmy or Roy Koopa and Nabbit.

Is there any statement that they've made stating that Retro Tracks that have already been 'brought back' won't be brought back again?
I ask, because between the graphical update and the anti-gravity stuff, some of the tracks they've already done could be exciting enough to bring back, no?
The King better be in MK8 or I will totally be disappointed.

My god the delusions. No. You're not at Toy Story graphics with Mario Kart 8. It is the best looking Wii-U game though. Well maybe a tie between this and X.

Galang said:The reason the roster was big was because of the 12 players I'm guessing, so no reason for it to get downsized for this version.
Have you rewatched Toy Story in the last 5 years? I'd say there were games last gen that were prettier... Not that that should be TOO unexpected, Toy Story is nigh on 20 years old at this point.
Maybe, I don't think there's any official word, just they haven't done it yet.
King Waluigi is in, yes.
