Better to have low expectations with this one.

I predict an 80 on Metacritic, and it won't be a GOTY contender.

From what I saw in the direct today, it may be the most ambitious game they've ever made.

I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

87 on Metacritic. It sure is gonna be one heck of a fun game, but GOTY contender? I don't think so.

Watch the direct that came out. Literally dropped my jaw...

Nah, don't want any spoilers :P

As for my prediction: Racing games usually don't rank up that high on GOTY lists, so I don't think Mario Kart 8'd be a contender for any award. BUT 87 (possibly more) is a great score nonetheless!

I think every reviewer should band together and give Mario Kart a 10, that way A LOT of buy the game and we all live happily ever after. The End.

Critics will applaud the technological evolution and the good looking classic graphics plus the 60fps. Will also praise the return of one of the most epic karting franchises and that it "redifines the genre"
