And the new characters are underwhelming, further contradicting the price hike. We don't get Dixie Kong or King K Rool but we get Conkador and a cow?

I have the opposite reaction, I quite like that they doubled down on the Mario universe for Mario Kart World and did not turn it into a Nintendo Kart, for that we already have Super Smash Bros.

Donkey Kong characters count as Mario characters.

The rainbow road track is added to the map we can already see, it's been leaked before, and it's part of the 32 tracks. It's not on a separate map.

Including Rainbow Road there are 30 locations on the map, 2 of the locations have 2 tracks (crown city and peach stadium) to make a total of 32 tracks for the 8 cups.

Nintendo's Korean website revealed rainbow road on the map before it was hastily removed.

I see. Disappointing, but at least we can play as Cow.

The real question is what happens when the Cow eats a Hamburger?

He gets arrested for cannibalism and you have to pay 5$ for his bail.

That's ok then. I was expecting Mad Cow decease

That would actually be kinda cool. Just your controls gets messed up and the character goes insane.

Donkey Kong has always been a part of Mario Kart, so I would also love to see more characters from that universe. Im just not very excited about generic crab and bat.

Yeah, previous characters would be nice, but not Link or the Inklings.

Quoted the wrong person, but you get the idea.

Now THAT'S worth $80!

Not quite. Needs twice as many tracks and more Battle Mode options.

Thats the catch! You have to wait for more information to drop or when it releases to know

Well why didn't they tell us today?

Bc that is not how you build antecipation.

If they showed everything by now, most of the people would feel satisfied by having all their curiosities being answered and when the game is ready, the excitment is already gone bc another exciting new thing have grabed their attention.

You need to hold all the juicy content to the last minute with an epic release trailer and let chaos do the rest.

To make more clear, this is not for us fans, this is for the general audience

The same general audience who shouldn't have to pay more for a new game that has less content than it's predecessor. So far I'm not seeing as much content as Mario Kart 8 DX.
