I'm going to try. Though I have found one major chink in the MK8 armor, a very disappointing one I might ad, in the fact that they really seem to have just lazily phoned in the Battle Mode. MK Wii could have had a great battle mode, probably it's best feature, because it had a ton of cool arenas. But they ruined it with the "Team only" nonsense. Now it's back to the way it should be, except NO ARENAS. Which makes zero sense. Who the hell wants to battle on basically just regular racing courses? If they were that focused on making the racing modes and online great, then they easily could have just gotten someone like Monster Games or Retro to develop the battle mode for them separately. Do it right at least. I mean they didn't even mention it at all in the official direct video. It just kind of got mentioned offhandedly, and unofficially, in some discussions.
Don't get me wrong, I'm very stoked for this game otherwise. But the total lack of any obvious effort into what appears to be a very tacked on, last minute battle mode, just kind of sucks. It's a bit of a blight on what otherwise looks like it could be a really brilliant game.
