Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
new Mario Kart 8 trailer
- Thread starter Oni Link 666
- Start date
Well, they have to start somewhere.
Ah yes, I remember that level. I suppose it's possible they had DKR in mind.
Indeed, it's hard to believe that no one has ever thought of this before!
Top Gear Test Track, Dunsfold Aerodrome
Edmonton Indy, Edmonton City Centre Airport
There are many others, of course -- turns out that runways make for excellent race tracks.

As you can see the racing cars are inside the airport like in Mario kart.
I can't...I just can't... That horrible freaking voice still burns.
Well yeah, I hear dying of asphyxiation is fun.
Don't think anyone can disagree with that, they knew how to do it in every single gen. I want to see MK8 on the LG OLED TV so bad
It might be because I've played it more than any other Mario Kart but I felt MKW lacking the most in this regard, the three Bowser castles felt like overkill for example

Could we have Waluigi's Pinball in Mario Kart 8? It needs to be in every Mario Kart.

The game looks really, really good. I wish all Wii U games had this kind of visual fidelity. Can't wait to play it.
I love the colors. Does Wario's kart have 3 wheels?

2. Boo House

Different eyes i guess...
The game looks iffy in screens, but all of the footage released so far is nothing short of glorious. If it weren't for the Nintendo characters it could pass for a PS4 game.
Whoa, hold the phone -- can you post screens or GIFs of the three I bolded?
^ Oh yeah, I forgot about this one. It's a flyer in the yellow pillar from the first screenshot.
Edit:
Here
I have no screens or gifs for the first two since they haven't been revealed officially.
We know they exist because there's a flightboard in the Sunshine Airport track with those names listed
And about the San Francisco-New York one...
It is from the E3 demo
I remember reading somewhere this one was actually Dolphin Shoals but since there are no dolphins there, well...

Amazing! I wonder how all those cars racing at once fit inside the airport.Indeed, it's hard to believe that no one has ever thought of this before!

It was one of the Beach Bowl-style galaxies that weren't Beach Bowl.
I think you raced one of them. Maybe those were actually sharks...
They take mini 'shrooms before the race.

*cough* Waluigi Pinball in MK7 *cough*
.... </3
EDIT: Super beaten.
I can't wait to waste time looking through each and every character's voice clips and animations.
They were definitely in one of the New Super Mario Bros. games but I don't know which one. Or if I'm just making that up in my head.

To be fair most WiiU games look terrible in screenshots (with regards to jaggies / poor textures) but amazing in motion... Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 are two that instantly spring to mind.
It also helps that the likes of Kart and Smash are fast paced action games running at 60fps.
It's a Morgan 3 wheeler...

Is that a statue of Daisy or Peach?And about the San Francisco-New York one...

And with all the damn babies they better bring back BABY PARK. And the special weapons and double karts. I want to litter the track with with giant bananas then fling giant shells sideways crossing over the center divider.
It's Peach.

Is that bitch Snaking?
Numerous people have played the E3 demo at different events and confirmed MK8 uses Mario Kart Wii/Mario Kart 7 drift system i.e. the longer you drift and the sharper your turn is, the faster your mini-turbo charges. Alternating left/right left/right like in previous entries does not charge the mini-turbo at all.
Differences compared with MKWii/MK7 so far are:
- Bikes can charge super mini-turbos (orange sparks)
- Automatic drifts (turning without starting a drift) can load mini-turbos
- Super mini-turbos seemingly charge a bit faster
Snaking à la MKDS is probably never coming back after the PRB and online debacle.
Is that bitch Snaking?
The road is curvy. He is just drifting through the small turns.
I wish snaking was back, MKDS is my favourite because of it.
Still won't stop me from getting MK8, the e3 demo felt good althugh I do hope they put at least some edge detection/AA because it was pretty jaggy, although it wasn't too bad afte getting used to it.
Rosilina was always going to be in it. Iwonder if she'll ever get ber own spin off in something like Super Rosilina Galaxy or something.

you want snaking back!?!
why?
it was horrible, you were literally dictated to do that if you wanted to compete online, I don't like being dictated to w/do it comes to play style, snaking was just not fun, at all!!!!!!!
I personally enjoyed it, more for trying world record time attacks and such, the online didn't really work so well for me due to teleporting karts.
The more fundamental with MKDS was the complete lack of proper matchmaking with other people that are at your level of skill. A complete newbie could end up racing against someone who sank thousands of hours into the game, and the PRB exploit and the near useless items certainly didn't help... for a game that is supposed to be played by all sorts of people that's pretty bad imo (it was their very first online game though, to be completely fair).
If MKDD had online back then, you could probably expect similar complaints. And the issue of mathcmaking still hasn't been really fixed even today, in fact the small efforts they put in MKW in that aspect were thrown away by essentially making the VR score a reflection of your play time instead of your competences.
I wonder what are their plans for MK8 in that regard... at least it should be easier than ever to play with friends so it may not matter that much in the end.
This would be a megaton for me.
It must happen.
Although without double karts it probably wouldn't be the same...
