have you ever considered maybe this is the EARLIEST the can get the game out without its sucking? THey just cant snap their fingers and will stuff to come out sooner. Thats not how it works in reality.

They've had YEARS to make it; it's the team whose last game was MK7 in 2011. If the earliest they can provide it is May 2014, that speaks even more to their stupidity.


dude that released at the end of 2011. its 2014. I dont think 2 and a half years is crazy. And thats kind or a normal dev cycle, especially considering they had to word on totally different hardware. 

With MK7 they enlisted the help of other studios to get it done; they should have done the same for MK8 the mmoment they realized they would be leaving a 3 onth gap between that and DK. (Of course, if we do end up getting Wach Dogs , Luigi's Mansion HD, or some other significant title in March/April, I'l happily admit I was wrong)

How do you know that? and how do you know they havent dont it now? you dont really know. FYI i really hope they didnt enlist help for MK7 cause that game was...yeah. DOnt think Watchdogs will come out in April.

How can a game like Mario Kart take so long to produce? This game needed to come out months ago.

So they have absolutely nothing for March and April? Way to go Nintendo.


That's what happens when you have zero third pary support, long droughts. Nintendo cannot make enough games to maintain a home console themselves.

Harsh but true. I'm not particularly looking forward to Mario Kart 8 either.

Even in HD, on new hardware, I simply don't believe a cartoon Kart racer has to take two and a half years to make, particularly when Nintendo could have put more devs on the job. I never played 7, so I can't comment there.

If Watchdogs doesn't, then something had better drop in March or April, or its just gross mismanagement by Nintendo.

I really doubt Watch Dogs will be released soon.I bet we´ll only see it sometime during Q3 or Q4.

As for Nintendo, they have already proven how badly they have been managing things in this generation.It still amazes me how shitty their preparation for the Wii - Wii U transition has been, how behind the curve they were with HD development when everyone else had already figured it out.

I thought you were saying they had no choice, now you're agreeing with someone who, like me, is blaming piss-poor management, and saying it could have been avoided?

Yes, that'll solve their problems. One person is the root of all evil.

I'd rather have an excellent Mario Kart in May than a good Mario Kart in April.   If May means the game gets another month or two of polish, so be it.
