You always expect to see great reviews for Mario Kart games... But it seems Nintendo have outdone themselves this time. So hyped!

 

[kittens]

No in-race voice chat killed this for me, but it looks awesome regardless. I hope it does well and that everyone else enjoys it.

 

[Teriaaaaa!]

Polygon gave it a 9 http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/15/5673346/mario-kart-8-wii-u-review

Polygon, 9/10

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Damn this game looks so gorgeous


edit: Battle mode looks nerfed =/

 

[Majestad]

It didn't kill shit. You are going to get it, and you are going to love it.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

It begins!

I need this game right now, I'd drop everything just to play some Mario Kart.

 

[Roo]

Wii and Double Dash say hi.

 

[erawsd]

Wow, reviews 15 days before release... thats what you call confidence.

 

[astrogamer]

4/5 Gamesradar
4.5/5 Joystiq

 

[Radec]

Scores like a Mario Kart game.

 

[Byronic Hero]

IGN - 9.0

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Wii and Double Dash say hi.

Double Dash forever!

[Cess007]

I didn't know this time there's an item that can stop the Blue Shell! Finally!

 

[Majestad]

Nintendo Life gave it a 9:

http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/wiiu/mario_kart_8

 

[Smashman45]

Lookin' gooooood. Lotta 9's, genuinely surprised. Can't wait to pick it up, though I would've gotten it regardless of scores.

 

[Wario64]

I hope this sells well

 

[JoeM86]

Nintendo Insider 10/10

My friend's site, and I am jealous of him having the game...

 

[Piggus]

Ugh. I want a Wii U for this game so bad.

 

[JordanKZ]

Wii and Double Dash say hi.

Double dash for life!

(Although I agree with Wii...)

 

[Nimmermehr]

That Eurogamer review got me even more hyped.. hnnnngh!

 

[Majestad]

Scores like a Mario Kart game.

And you jelly of that or what?

Here's other 9 from Destructoid

[Tempy]

Polygon gave it a 9 http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/15/5673346/mario-kart-8-wii-u-review

They'll probably change the score. Give them some time.

 

[taco543]

screwattack gave it a 7/10 http://www.screwattack.com/reviews/mario-kart-8-review

 

[VanWinkle]

Great scores! Can't wait for this.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

[Tenki]

Hype rising.

 

[BrittonPeele]

Here's my review for The Dallas Morning News. No score, but I like it a lot.

 

[Mr. Bamboo]

Seems like my metacritic prediction of 88 might happen

Holy crap, looks absolutely incredible. Just goes to show, it's not how much power you have, it's what you do with it.

Why oh why did I sell my Wii U back in March?

 

[Hot Coldman]

before I read any of these, let's lay down a rule I think we can all agree on: if you can't review this game without bringing up the Wii U's market position, you're probably a bad writer

 

[guit3457]

Spanish reviews

Meristation 9.3

Vandal 9.3

3D Juegos 9

 

[dark_prinny]

Great scores as expected. I just wanna play it already and have top notch quality gaming time.

 

[Papercuts]

Actually scoring higher than I expected, not that it would sway me here either way. A shame battle mode is so poorly made, but I'm really excited for this.

 

[Swhalen]

Ughhhh so much hype. Why can't it come out sooner.

 

[Nothing1016]

But it's in some exquisite details, too: the way that Toadette's pigtails (each one a string of pink mushrooms) flap in the furious breeze; the upturned ice-cream cones used as road markers in Sweet Sweet Canyon; the stitching on the karts' kites; their finely painted, Mario-themed racing liveries; the birds that scatter off the Moo Moo Meadows' mud track. It's in the way that your racer will turn their head to glance at a rival as they streak past and it's in the look of dismay that crinkles across their face when struck by an incoming shell. All of this weight and attention, all delivered in an unflinching 60 frames per second. Video games have been this detailed before, but never with such imagination, grace and humour.

From the Eurogamer review. I don't know how Nintendo does it.

 

[Frankenstrat]

Edge-9/10

 

[Zalman]

 

[kuppy]

Also:
CVG - 9/10
Shack News - 8/10
VG247 - No Score

 

[Capella]

Dammit, that's it, I'm getting a Wii U before I get anything else. Mario Kart is one of my favorite series of games and this one looks too good to pass up. I really hope I can get the bundle before the free game promotion runs out.

 

[aza]

Game Informer - 9.25
The Escapist - 4.5/5

 

[Tripon]

Gametrailers: 8.6

Lets not take sly digs at reviews that don't happen to follow a strict and early consensus.
