    Mario Kart 8 (NSW/Wii U)

    CNet review just dropped for this game and it likens it to be the best "Mario Kart Ever," which of course stands to reason:

    http://www.cnet.com/products/mario-kart-8-wii-u/

    TIME Tech Reviews also herald Mario Kart 8 as "Just what the Wii U Ordered":

    http://time.com/97022/mario-kart-8-review/

    Metacritic, 4.5/5. It's also currently the top trend on Twitter (which of course is a flighty award of the day).

    Review List:

    Eurogamer 10/10
    USgamer 4.5/5
    Videogamer 9/10
    Destructoid 9/10
    Polygon 9/10
    GameTrailers 8.6/10
    Joystiq 4.5/5
    GameInformer 9.25/10
    ShackNews 8/10
    CVG 9/10

    Now I make this thread because like Wii and Nintendo 64 before it, Mario Kart has always been my reason to purchase a new Nintendo console (along with Smash Bros.). With that said, the current and new offering of the Wii U is a $330 price tag with Mario Kart 8 bundled in.

    The only downsides people are reporting is that the battle mode is akward as fuck.


    Standard Karts, ATVs, Bikes, Kart Parts. Reimaged N64 and SNES tracks. Ghost race times. Gravity physics. Power slide physics. New weapons. Blue Shells.

    Rainbow Road.

    20 years later, I am excite for a decent Mario Kart game.

    I would assume that if you are one of the 3 other people here (In the US.. not the forums) who have a WiiU you are already getting this. For those who might get a WiiU for this it also comes with a free download from a select group of games.

    Having avoided Nintendo the last few generations but already having a WiiU myself I am excited for this.

    Rainbow Road theme from N64 was nice to hear... I had Mario Kart 7 I think for the 3DS, playing the Rainbow road (SNES) on that was super nostalgia. Man... I had Mario Kart SNES and N64, after that I think I had double dash, but most if not all my happy memories of those games from from SNES/N64... Toad's Turnpike was in that trailer too... man F that level lol.

    Looks fun, but I don't own a WiiU, too poor. For now.

    Waiting for SSB bundle, but 100% buying this game once I have a Wii U. These games are always so much fun.

    Per IGN's review, coordinating a friends only online race sucks.

    I want to hold out for SSB bundle, but this one is too good to pass up. I'm pretty sure the SSB bundle will be similar to this one. Get console and game for $330 and free game download. I don't care for special custom decals. I just dont want to miss out on an updated/streamlined console.

    I'm salty that EU gets a cool Mario or Luigi hat with their WiiU bundle. Not gonna lie, that hat probably would've clinched my sale on the system, but I'll probably wait and see if a Smash Bros. bundle happens now.

    I'm taking the plunge on release day, and will be picking up the bundle. I have to admit; the game looks absolutely stunning. I'm slightly salty about battle mode, but I got most of my satisfaction out of straight whipping everyone's ass via supreme snaking, so the I'll most likely just train my ass off then go online. As long as the online is tight, I'm all aboard.
