The other issue I think with MK8 is that it's a good game and all, but it doesn't really feel fresh. The vibe that I got from most people playing at Best Buy was "hey that's fun like the Wii one" but no one was rushing to pick it up.
I think they really should've made a mode that used the Game Pad in some kind of interesting way. Have the standard GP modes sure, but maybe a new kind of battle mode where one player drives a kart and a second rider in the rear controls a Mario "weapon canon" and has to use the Game Pad to swing around and target would've been interesting.
