Lovely. This is what Nintendo fans missed out on while they were playing Wii instead a PS3 or 360 class hardware.

So what exactly woudl they have played kart wise that is equal to or greater?

That wasn't the point - the point is had Nintendo been up to date with hardware you would have had this game in 07~08 instead of 14.

Up to date?  Isn't the WiiU's GPU supposed to be around the performance of a Radeon HD 4600?  Those hadn't even released in 2006, so its unlikely that you could've had MK8 as it exists today with hardware released in 2006.  And even if you could, as Viper1 pointed out, it would have been prohibitively expensive for a console.

Wii U's GPU is > PS3 & 360 for sure, plus has more available RAM,  but it's CPU actually seems weaker - so I think you could have had MK8 7 years ago, in 720p instead of 1080p, and maybe with smaller textures.
