You and your crazy threads! Can't wait until we get to play together (next year probably)...

But it looked very good. Here's a hands-on:

Looks awesome so far can't wait for it to come out

Are you hyped Ninpie? Was this your first E3 here?

Nope. I was here last year. I made the "Who Is Winning E3 2012 So Far?" Thread.

What was your favorite aspect of MK8? Notice anything that you liked?

This from the "5/10" guy

And no, it isn't. He was here last year.

This game is going to get some serious game time from me when I get it! It should be released before Christmas though, that's the only negative thing I can say about it.

Thanks for posting that link, ConeyG! (And holy crud he typed that up fast!)

Looks absolutely fantastic. Yet another franchise to get the Galaxy treatment!

You say that it's one of the games in the Best Buy booths, right? Maybe he played it ages ago...

And I liked the anti-gravity. Allows for more innovative track design, let's see how it's done.
