Mario Kart 8
1. The game will feature the coins which act the same way as in Mario Kart 7 ( and Super Mario Kart/ Super Circuit) and every time you get hit, you lose 3 coins thus slowing you down.
2. The hang gliders and underwater sections from Mario Kart 7 are also back.
3. Bikes from Mario Kart Wii are back, but they don't handle the same as in that game. They handle exactly like the karts meaning that bikes can now perform Super- Mini Turbos, something bikes couldn't do in MKWii.
4. Just like in MKWii and MK7, you can perform tricks.
5. The boost mechanic is the one from MKWii/MK7 meaning snaking is most likely not gonna be a thing. Even Nintendo confirmed that.
6. This game introduces a new Anti Gravity mechanic that allows you to drive upside down and this will help you find alternate routes that will add variety to the courses.
7. A few courses have been confirmed. Mario Circuit is most likely the first course of the game even though it would destroy the pattern of Mario Kart 64, Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii because they all started with a Luigi course. The second confirmed course is a San Fransisco-like city. The third confirmed course is the Ghost House. We have 3 courses that are remakes so far. Dry Dry Desert from Double Dash, Music Park from Mario Kart 7 and Piranha Plan Slide also from MK7. We also saw two new courses. A course that takes place in a ruins area and one that takes place in a candy land full of waffles and a bunch other sugar filled goodies.
8. Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, DK, Toad, Toadette, Bowser, Daisy, Wario, Waluigi and Koopa Troopa are the only confirmed characters so far.
9. Items come back as well, but no new items so far. Nintendo also said that they are thinking about rebalancng the Blue Shell. The one in MK7 was considered good though.
10. Lakitu comes back an he acts the same as before meaning that he will put you back on the course if you fall into the water or something similar.
Super Smash Bros 4
1. Bowser looks slightly different from Brawl and his speed and moves have been modified.
2. Tripping, an infamous mechanic from Brawl won't be appearing in Smash Bros 4 ( YES!)
3. Samus now is based off the design from Metroid Other M.
3. Pit is now the Pit from Uprising and also a couple of new moves.
4. The game will feature the air dodges from Brawl, but Sakurai said that is subject to change.
5. Sakurai also confirmed that the speed of the game will be between Melee and Brawl.
6. The Villager from Animal Crossing is the first newcomer and he has a ton of different abilities including..........using a slingshot?
7. Mega Man is the second newcomer and his design is based of the old NES games. He also has some of the powers from the NES games including the Leaf Shield.
8. Wii Fit Trainer is the last confirmed newcomer and her moves are based off the Wii Fit game. I guess you can she is a BALANCED character. Heh.
9. Judging from videos, the landing lag was reduced from Brawl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-hPRocg8Yw&t=18 Meaning that L-cancelling will most likely not return. Also, no sign of hitsun so far.
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
1. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are the main playable characters just like in Returns.
2. They can no longer blow on things, but instead they can pluck objects from the ground ALA Mario 2. It is a reference to the producer Mr. Tanabe who was the director of Mario 2.
