I wont buy it. Back when I had a gameboy advance I played mario kart, and I didn't like it.

Nintendo is not doomed yet. And Mario kart 8 is fun. And using the gamepad as a wheel is pretty fun. 

I would've bought the PS4 version for sure If it was a multiplatform game. I got it for my WiiU anyway, but it would've been nice not having to buy a WiiU just to enjoy MK8 and 2-3 more games I'm interested in. Also, my economic situation is quite stable, but it's obvious that a lot of gamers will think twice before buying a second or third console just for a few games they like. I actually agree with those who say that Nintendo should quit "tailoring" their own home consoles and start releasing their awesome games on other platforms. Everyone would be satisfied if that was the case, starting with Nintendo since they'd make a lot of money, except Nintendo's most enthusiastic fans of course.

BTW nice to meet you, people of vgchartz

Just out of curiousity what better game would your 6 year old be playing? Seems like this game is perfect for 6 year olds

Hells to the no.  Out of those that I've played, the series is one of my least favorite racers, if not least favorite.

Ok I had enough of this talk. Why is it people constantly say I want Nintendo games on other consoles, or Nintendo needs to go third party. If you like Nintendo games buy their consoles stop wishing and hoping. Nintendo wants to make games and consoles their way, either you dont like their product and not buy it or you do like it.You can't have both ways. I blame game "journalists" for this,their concept on reality is ridiculous.The video game industry is free market just like everything else.
This kind of talk is like saying" I love McDonald's fries but do not like their hamburgers I wish they would just allow burger king to make their fries" or "I love the hemi engine dodge has but do not like their car designs why cant they just put in ford of chevy's cars/trucks".
Get the pitcure now these wishes are just wishes Nintendo has way they want to make games in the gaming industry, just like Sony and Microsoft have theirs, either you like them or you don't. So just stop the nonsense

I'd pick it up eventually out of curiosity.... but I say that about a lot of games, so maybe not.

It's not nonsense. It's what a LOT of gamers, aka nintendo's potential customers, think. What you're reading here are just ps4/x1 gamers' opinions. In a business, you can't just say "have it our way, or don't buy our product", which you are suggesting, or "what's wrong with you?" to your potential customers. THAT is nonsense, and that's what condemned Nintendo to their current situation. Would it really make that much of a difference if MK8 ran on ps/xbox/pc? Of course not, except for better antialiasing and resolution. If Nintendo refuses to go third party, there's the concrete risk that they'll stop making games to start something completly different (QoL?), and that can't be something ninty fans are hoping for.

No, I never wrote that. Please learn to read.

I'm interested in great games. But if a great game is available for several platforms and I have a choice, I get the best version of that game (in most cases it is the version for the strongest hardware, but sometimes the prettiest version has some other flaws).

Guess I just disagree.
