Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I want MarioKart to become into "nintendo kart"

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Mario Kart 8 already had guest characters as DLC, so we've sort of seen that already. I know you address that in your post, but I wanted to re-iterate that as that doesn't make it as surprising/crazy of a suggestion as you state at the beginning. I don't know if I want that myself, but if it does happen I won't be surprised.

I feel like that is the road it is going on already as well.  Much like Smash started bringing in 3rd party fighters, Mario Kart is becoming more of a Nintendo racer than a Mario Racer.  I think the next game will only solidify that fact.

For sure.  There is a 100% chance that we will see a lot more non-Mario universe characters in the next Kart game.  The only question in my mind is when will they go outside of Nintendo characters?

So, how long until Master Chief makes an appearance?

Great idea!!! Id like to have it include capt. Falcon so i can pretend its the new fzero

Well, there are already F-Zero stages so it's only one step further.

Just to go completley OT as a reaction to this post.

 

MK8 is a better F-Zero game than any other F-Zero.

You make a crucial mistake here. Spitting on the koopalings means that you are spitting on Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. You don't spit on those games, you just don't. Hang your head in shame.

Children like the baby characters. There have to be enough babies that everyone can choose one. All the baby characters are necessary.

Some of the "skins", like Metal Mario, actually have different stats. It's also a mistake to believe that removal would free up roster spots. That's not how the roster was compiled.

Your idea for unique specials will only break the game. The unique items in Double Dash!! sucked because they weren't balanced. It's only going to get worse if a greater number of specials needs to be implemented. Leave that garbage in the GameCube era.

As I am typing this, I am still angry because you spat on Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. I look at your avatar and the words that come to my mind are: What is wrong with you?

Ha, just before I read your post I was thinking about how much I miss Double Dash's unique power items and how it'd be cool to bring them back in the next game. Maybe they weren't balanced but who the heck plays mario kart for balance?!!? The game is so unbalanced anything can happen.

It's already Nintendo Kart. They only use the Mario Kart name to sell more copies. I've been bitching about how Mario Kart was suppose to be a race circuit in the Mushroom Kingdom ONLY for years now, and no one else seems to care. Maybe part of that is because I am old enough to remember playing the first game (still the best one imo) and that's how it use to be.

But yeah, it hasn't been "Mario" Kart for years now.

Oh no you didn't. lol. F-Zero shits all over Mario Kart as far as racing goes. It's faster, more difficult and actually requires something called skill to master. There are no items to cheese your way to the front or knock you out of first place. The only item you can use to get ahead is your own nerve and dedication to learning every single detail of the game and that's the ONLY way to win on master class. 

F-Zero GX doesn't fuck around. Mario Kart is for casuals.

That's just, like, your opinion man. You complain about redundant characters and then want to put in even more?

Just pointing out, the koopas are by no means just clones of themselves or other characters.

It worked in Double Dash!! because the game offered many mechanics to split the field, it didn't break at all due to the items. MK8 and especially Deluxe doesn't offer deep mechanics. It comes down to clean lines and items. As soon as they change it back to being more varied (which they won't because they love their easy family-friendliness) specials won't make a huge difference as they haven't in the past. The unbalanced special items are nothing compared to how the straight-forward-MK8 forces you to use items in a certain way to make you finish in the top 3 all the time.
