After the Super Smash Bros trailer, I was hoping for Kirby.

 

[Magicpaint]

Eww baby Daisy...

Hush. She's the best.

 

[Mango The Magician]

That Plane level looks awesome! Gonna sound weird but I've always wanted a Metropolitan area in a mainline Mario game.

I like that their eyes move. Removes much from the doll/dead look I feared it could get (see: Borderlands)

 

[fuzzyreactor]

Gameplay looks like a blast. Aesthetically it is pretty ugly though.

I like that they have actual fingers lol.

 

[blueplancha]

Looks great, just aliasing and lack of facial animation that bugs me. They showed a lot of clips where the character would say something but their faces wouldn't move [at all].

 

[Azebra]

Wow. Nintendo games and HD really do go well together.

This, X, Bayonetta will surely make me get a wii U...(After the price-cut of course)

Theres already been a price cut and tons of deals.

Sakurai almost had me with the Smash Bros trailer.

 

[Galang]

And you missed last but not least:



Look at that Toad ship ^^

Awesome. Captain Toad cameo would be cool here.

They've had face animations since Mario Kart Wii.

Now this is actually an improvement.

 

[WillyFive]

The next Sonic racing game will have a lot to live up graphically after seeing this game.

 

[MannyToons]

I like that they have actual fingers lol.

Always bothered me in literally every 3D Mario Kart that followed 64. Freaking Power Tennis had individualized fingers, why not Mario Kart up until this point? ...I guess having to squeeze wifi capabilities into MKW meant cutting back on visuals? *shrug*

Oh wait no, fuck that. Galaxy 1/2 had perma-balled fists as well. Blegh.

 

[evilromero]

I really thought Kirby was a new character during the Smash trailer. Hard disappointment.

 

[Timeaisis]

So we're getting Baby's (Mario, Luigi, Peach) and Rosalina is returning. Interesting.

 

[liger05]

This looks bad azz

 

[Galang]

Seems most the characters from the Wii Version will return. There's also a stage with Dry Bowser's head so I wouldn't be surprised to see him return either.

You forgot Baby Daisy, which also was confirmed. Shame on you for forgettingt he best baby!

 

[Mariolee]

I wonder if they'll make a Baby Rosalina.

Please don't.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

I don't know, it looks texture resolution took a hit or the OP's pics are from the YT trailer and not direct feed shots.

 

[ffdgh]

Still baby peach...tho Now I'm half expecting baby rosalina to happen since it seems nintedo loves her so much as of late.

 

[Timeaisis]

Yeah, the pics look terrible. The trailer, however, looks incredible.

I'm hoping for a few new characters. Bring Petey Piranha back, Nintendo!

 

[Buckethead]

Looks boring.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

Wowww.... Dat looks amazing!!! I've never play this series before and this might be the very first game i might pick up. I will definitely get this when it comes out.


That screenshots almost feels like it has f-zero feeling to it. i can't describe it in words though. Dem tracks almost look alive and mesermizing at the same time.

 

[tmarques]

Looks tons of fun, but I kind of wish they'd make it Nintendo Kart or whatever and bring characters from other franchises. Kind of tired of the cast.

 

[daemonic]

Graphically it looks great, but it just seems to be more of the same with some added features. It would be nice if there was more of a focus on the actual racing.

 

[coldcrush]

I would pretend that I am buying this game for my son, But this is personally my most anticipated game at the moment .

 

[OriginalThinking]

That plane level just seems a bit... off? I always think of Mario as being set in fantasy lands. When I see an earth looking airport and planes it throws me. I know it's still very cartoony, it just felt out of place watching it.

Game looks legitimately awesome though - I hope the atrocious rubber banding and over powered, spammy power ups are stripped back.

 

[soulassssns]

Day 1

 

[Ithil]

The scale of the courses looks much bigger than previous games.

This is not without precedent. See Mario Kart 64 and its traffic levels with trains and automobiles.

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

I'm hoping for an early April early May release. I hope so much for Dry Bones to be back

I get what you're saying, but there was an airplane in Super Mario Sunshine though.

Well..

Yeah, Nintendo said it basically doesn't want to change the core gameplay formula of Mario Kart, which is why the games don't try to do something more drastic to change the actual mechanics of the series. The gravity stuff doesn't seem to have any effect on gameplay. If it turns out to be the case, then I'll probably just end up renting MK8 unless the online battle mode turns out to be surprisingly awesome.

 

[quetz67]

And I keep dreaming they one day do a single player campaign as awesome as Diddy Kong Racing.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Dat Thwomp course though.

 

[EulaCapra]

If it hasn't been posted before, the gorgeous sweets and desserts track belongs to Peach and Daisy. There are signs that say "Royal Pastries" or something like that along with their crowns on top of cakes.

 

[VoidJutsu]

Are they targeting 60-fps for this?

yep...

 

[Vitet]

The circle completes

 

[cacildo]

The circle completes

dont

this movie sucks and should never be mentioned

 

[WillyFive]

dont

Not a very common opinion.

 

[marc^o^]

Looks convoluted, how much stuff can they cram in? I miss the simplicity of just Kart racing with items, now there's tricks, bikes, gliders, anti-gravity and who knows what else.

Probably a lot of Excite.

 

[Haines]

where 1080p trailers? dafuc?

 

[FranXico]

It looks good.

I will be criticized by the Nintendo faithful for this, but I see a lot of influences from other games there.

 

[plank]

Not really that familiar with MK games but can someone explain the hate for the babies?

 

[Blinck]

Looks absolutely delicious.

Anyone can tell me the name of the very last song at the end of the trailer? The one that is fading. I think it is very well known, but I'm not very familiar with nintendo games.

 

[cyberheater]

The screens on the OP don't look great but I'm betting it's down to the low bit rate used by youtube.

If MarioKart looks anything like Mario3DW then we're in for a treat.

This game looks stunning, as expected, but did they really have to bring the babies back?

It looks better actually, in person. I dont know why they wouldnt have 1080p trailers. Thats what the game is.
