To me, it's a more polished Mario Kart. I hadn't played a MK game extensively since Double Dash, and I felt right at home when I started playing MK 8. 

So, forgive me if I don't feel I'm playing that much of a new game when I play MK 8 over the other entries in the series. Most of what you brought up are nothing more than presentation aspects over gameplay changer. 


You didn't notice a difference in the number of items you could hold? If you just play casually then yeah this may not change much, but when playing online at a high level even the most subtle of changes can have a significant effect on gameplay, and the one item thing is no subtle change. Any seasoned player would tell you that races in MK8 generally play out much differently than in MK7 and MKWii, and in many's opinion, for the worse.
