I don't see why this can't be a Wii U retail game to be released before Mario Kart U, as Wind Waker HD was also designed to tide us over until the real Wii U Zelda comes.

I can resize images in arguably the best quality possible, picfront.org has the best resize tech I've ever used, but recently it's a headache to use since it craps out before finishing it 99% of the time...
Compare the sizes:
Now you don't have to squint. You can see at the bottom the spiky Cheep Cheep is an item.

A larger subset of consumers buy Mario Kart than Zelda. They will probably only buy one Mario Kart, you would be making them buy the shitty one.

People complain about Nintendo milking franchises constantly and you want them to release a version of the game that won't be even close to on par with the real one to hold people over? Thare's just no reason for this to happen.
Mario Kart U will be better anyway.
Apparently, Nintendo does.
It seems more like Cheep Cheep is a racer.I can resize images in arguably the best quality possible, picfront.org has the best resize tech I've ever used, but recently it's a headache to use since it craps out before finishing it 99% of the time...

But it's not in a yellow box, it might just be that it's alerting you that there's one approaching ala a Red Shell.

It looks like a fun game, honestly.
The graphics are pretty good, too.

I ripped the logo and made an English one:
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
dat Taiko track
Arcade games aren't really graphically good compared to the console Karts.

It's for the Arcades.
Yeah I should of known from the title...
Worse than Mario Kart 7? true
worse than Mario Kart Double Dash? lol no
The franchise is definitely not a graphical showcase but MKW is a prettier Double Dash with lighting bloom, something they fixed with 7

I would buy this on Wii U even if I want a big proper Wii U Mario Kart game.
If not ported to Wii U, I'm sad to say that I may never play this (I never had the chance to play the first version of Mario Kart Arcade)

The higher quality images just look more like the 3DS game in HD.

Wii U version should look a lot better.

It's actually even more funny when you consider that MKWii had some stages from Mario Kart DD with the exact same geometry and well...they were really ugly compared to MKWii exclusive stages

I don't know how I could play this game so much without online play, just against AI. Crazy to think of that this day and age.
Honestly, those visuals are totally serviceable. I could still play and enjoy that.
I fail to see the ugly in Double Dash. And man, I just remembered how much I love DD's Bowser Castle and Wario's Colosseum. And being able to have both Toad and Peach instead of just Toad or Peach. And character-exclusive items, no thunder cloud, no bikes... definitely my favorite home console Mario Kart. Plus dat Rainbow Road theme.
64 is absurdly overrated, Super Circuit... I'm not sure, I never loved it. Double Dash is glorious, and yes, MKDS is by far the best in the series.
3DS doesn't have textures or geometry nearly as good. But the Wii U version should still look better.
Yea, now that I looked at it again, it looks like it is an item. I think it is indicating who has the item, since in this case it is directly behind the Taiko guy.
? I thought MK64 is generally the least favourite, but was loved for it's battle mode.
There's new footage of this.

Looks pretty slick!
No. But some of the tracks I've seen from the previous iterations aren't that exciting. Then again they are going to run out of retro tracks unless they decide to delve a lot into the SNES and GBA games.
I played it in Cali. There was only one cup available. I picked it. Played and finished first in the first track. Game asked me to put more money in to play the second track.
Nah.
Also there's no way Mario Kart U will have player portraits. Dick pictures everywhere. You can't whip your pants out and take a picture of your dick in an arcade without at least some risk of being physically thrown out, not to mention you aren't anonymous in person.
To this day and age, I still play against the CPU 99% of the time (MK7, MKDS, MKWii, MKDD).
Well they could try using face detection.
And now I'm sitting here thinking seriously about what to do with a magic marker.
(I was going to say 'a felt-tip', but in this context that might be misconstrued)
