they promoted the game at SXSW with a real go Kart track. it was pretty cool I saw a video for it online but I didn't see any media sites (like IGN) pick it up at all.


This is probably because the actual game itself wasn't there, though they still coulda done it since it is a game related thing. Ahwells.


they should have it was super awesome looking and it said Mario Kart 8 every where. there were even "power up" points in the track would give the players things that would affect the way their Kart handled or their opponets.

I think all mariokart fans are excited about this new version even if we differ about what it represents in technical performance. The graphics look beautiful and the game looks brilliant fun.

A quick look at wii sales figures shows mariokart wii outsold mario galaxy 3:1 so I think its clear to say this is a hugely important title for wii u.

What I think is important to realise though is the launch of the game will be to existing wii u owners and probably a relatively small increase in wii u console buyers. It's the wrong time of year for huge console sales.

I think the significance and importance of wii u mario kart is when its bundled with the console and sold for the christmas season.

Why is the reaction so positive?


It's a highly anticipated game that is exceeding peoples expectations. Have you checked out the new footage they've recently released? Got me excited!

It looks like Mario Kart. I own every game in the series, and it looks right where you'd expect from Nintendo quality + generational advance.

What is the selling point compared to MKWii or MK7, exactly?



It's new and better. How many times do we have to go over this!

I was expecting a little more on the technical prowess ...

The game looks indeed amazing from what I've seen.

Can't wait for a karting game on PS4!



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Coming from a PC guy that's not surprising.



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

It also costs money, while the MKWii that people own is free and in their house right now.

I can't speak for anyone but myself when it comes down to why the game is getting a positive reaction. I have a family of 5 so it's always been a game we've enjoyed thoroughly. If it doesn't do it for you there's nothing wrong with that. Just a game I'm really excited for.
