There has definitely been a lot of buzz over the graphics of Mario Kart 8, and, you're right, it's coming from all over, even from camps traditionally uninterested in horsepower, or kartpower in this case :P

I will say this: I don't think those people have suddenly transformed into pixel-counting, resolution-worshipping technophiles. I think it's just excitement over some eye candy that will dissipate over time.

On a personal note, Mario Kart 8 could look like Double Dash!! for all I care. I'll be happy as long as it plays great.
