At Wondercon!

Upon looking at the game for the first time I was stunned at the visuals. Like most games, YouTube doesn't do it justice. Tracks looked stunning and frame rate was satisfyingly smooth. Jaggies were not a problem.

The track inverts got me good while playing; caused me to sort of adjust to it. You feel the gravity change as the track flips slowly as you go (It's nothing major or a bad thing). I should mention I played with the Wiimote and wheel accesory, and it felt the same as MKWii for the most part except it was a bit more sensitive. The floor demo only had 12 playable characters, all of which we've seen or know about already so no surprises. I played against some kid and owned him and the AI, easy. No mercy.

I left so hyped for it, and more mad that U.S. isn't getting the limited edition.

I also got to play Kirby Triple Deluxe. Fun and feels like a Kirby game. 3D effect was good in certain parts that Kirby on the level. 

Finally, Wondercon was fun, definitely going back next year. I got to see extended footage for the beginning of X-Men Days of The Future Past. Also, Sexy cosplayers! Sexy cosplayers everywhere!

I was planning on getting PS4 as my next "next gen/current gen" console, but MK8 has me thinking twice.

I guess I will have to wait until E3 to see if Zelda is anounced & what exclusives Sony will have to offer other than The Order 1886 (which is the only PS4 game im interested in right now).

If you really must pick, then Yes! Wait!

From what I played/saw, MK8 will be rated high.
