Saw this on Twitter, thought some may be interested.

The world domination begins..

For iwata's sake

I hope gamepad use is not required for player 1.

Id be shocked, if it did.

I hope you can still use the gamepad for other features, while using a pro controller, ect..

Sonic racing did this, so im assuming mk8 will. At least have some of the hud on the gamepad, to allow me to take in the visuals some more.
 
If they don't fuck up online play this game could be huuuge.

I highly doubt that. They've been improving online since the Wii, and they know how big MK8 and Smash will be for online multiplayer. I think they're serious about online with these two.

Plus if they fuck this up these games will do much worse than they should
 
Just a little bit longer until the embargo is up? Good stuff.

Of course, then the two months' worth of time until release is still there...!
 
So when exactly does this embargo lift? I was hoping we'd get a Direct before the embargo was over but it's looking less likely :/

Well, bequietdrive said the embargo will last until Friday but GoNintendo said we should expect news late tonight or tomorrow morning.
 
Oh man I'm so hyped for this game you have no idea. XD I dreamed last night Antasma would be a newcomer. That would be freaking amazing, sadly I doubt it'll happen.

Hoping for the return of N64 Rainbow Road in HD. Loved that course, sure I'm in the minority about it but I'm in the minority with just about anything. It could twist into antigravity sections at some points and have a gliding section at the beginning. They could also get rid of the rails at some points and make it into a really great course.

Also I hope Petey Piranha returns, he and Waluigi were my mains in Double Dash.

I never thought Mario Kart games were lookers...ever, but this one just looks fantastic for some reason. I wonder how that happened.

They stopped using GCN models and put in more effort in the looks department compared to mkw...and they really want this to sell.
 
This is actually kinda crazy. It's just the latest batch of previews but most people (myself included) are as hyped as if a surprise direct just got announced

They really really really need this to sell systems. Plus they actually had to make all new assets. I expect Zelda to be stunning too. It, this and smash are Nintendos big hopes to at least get a GCN LTD out of wii u, and after the wii mk is pretty much Nintendos biggest console franchise hence big investment.
 
You know things you can't tell I assume :P. That aside, was it enjoyable?

I know the answer is probably yes, but the Pro Controller U is an option correct?

He can't even say that.

He can only say whether it's a game or not.
I cannot confirm or deny that it is indeed a game.

Ugh, so basically 3am Eastern? Meh...I'll catch it in the morning I guess.
8:01 am London/Lisbon time.

Seriously, I think some of you might be expecting a tad too much :P
 
Haha I should have guessed that. The anticipation for new info is so strong...
I'll be practicing that stupid NBC u-turn cut in the mean time. I won't be able to sleep, even though I want to. Goddammit.

EDIT: I don't expect much, no, but it's Mario Kart.
