84

Everyone going for safe 80s to 90s, no one predicting it will be a technical mess and bomb? :D we must have at least one Jim Sterling on Vgchartz?

Remakes / remasters / deluxe versions usually get lower scores, because reviewers find improvement and originality important.

I predict 86.

On par with Super Circuit, which is 93. MK8 got average of 88 and the biggest criticism it had was watered down battle mode. This one though has it fixed and brings ton of extra content.

93

Really, it depends on whether there's some online functionality for reviewers to test. If there isn't, they'll dock it points, but otherwise I can't see why a game that's a decent improvement on an 88 title wouldn't warrant something in the 90's... I suppose maybe battery life will be held against it?

Having trouble thinking of things to dock lol, Digital Foundry already showed that it plays flawlessly even in splitscreen.

Yeah I suppose, but it really looks like the best kart racer yet made from what I've seen. The new game modes look like a lot of fun which, looking back at MK8, were really the only things missing from the original release. I was hesitant to say MK8 was the best of the series for that reason, but this remake looks like it takes the crown easilys

89

91

It will likely be the best Mario Kart game to date. Only way I see it getting knocked down is if people ding it for being a remaster.

89

Well, it's MK8 with all the dlc included, and looks to fix the issues with the battle mode, so I'll go with a 91.
