[@World9Gaming]

What impresses me the most isn't even the graphics or gameplay. It's the attention to character detail. Character react to each other when they pass one another. Both in body language and in facial expression. Clearly they're showing off the Mario Kart TV feature and how it'll capture dynamic videos. If you toss a shell, the camera will follow the shell to its target then seamlessly go back to your character cheering happily as he/she passes by. I can't wait to see the crazy videos people come up with in this game.

[@rubenmedina4022]

Its been a year now and that bit from 1:05 still makes me cry

[@luisguillermojg]

+Ruben Nyan Same here.

[@elphil7103]

God, same here.

[@zxma3679]

+Ruben Nyan Never Played MK64 BTW THE N64 RAINBOW ROAD IS THE BEST

[@SirJeffhog]

CAN CONFIRM ;;U;; STILL HAPPENS

[@dsilvap]

2 Years!! :(

[@rhinesza12]

I still get so emotional at 1:05. The music just brings back so many memories. and the end when they take off and cut out the sound effects and voices and all you hear is the music, so beautiful. Love nintendo

[@destruccionH]

1:05 as soon as that flute started to play, a tear came out of my eyes

[@mariolausic4749]

As soon as i saw rainbow road and music from n64 rainbow road i just lost it :'(

[@mariolausic4749]

it was that good!!!

[@ClefferNotes]

Absolutely mind blowing, I can't believe how stunning this looks. From first playing the series on the N64 as a kid. Being able to see the true vision, how it was all meant to be, right now in this trailer is an absolute treasure. Seeing and hearing Rainbow Road remastered in such a way brings a sense of nostalgia that only Nintendo can achieve. May you live on forever Nintendo and keep up your legacy of bringing joy and precious moments to everyone. Fantastic! 

[@ClefferNotes]

Oh awesome, Double Dash is a great start to the series! :D

[@ThatGamerDownLeRoad]

***** MK64, then Double Dash, DS, Wii, 7

[@jadanjohnson8973]

LuigiJohnnyPlays you skipped mario kart advance even if it sucks

[@ThatGamerDownLeRoad]

Ik I wanted it when I was gonna get another GBA game but I ended up getting Kirby Superstar Ultra for the DS.

[@SirSandvich]

After watching this for the tenth time, that Rainbow Road music still shrouds me in feels.

[@BingBangPoe]

That remixed Rainbow Road theme gave the epic chills.

[@chaosDesigner9]

Now, THIS is what a call a trailer.

[@indiejacob]

That attention to detail...you only get that sort of thing from Nintendo.

[@gamer39985]

true

[@andrewmacraild6944]

Yes indeed. With activision they make a game, see if it sells well and rehash it. Without much detail.

[@bobbycraig7187]

My man you’re here

[@SnrubSource]

Not really.

[@Meatloaf8]

Maybe not only with Nintendo but the attention to detail is still super good

[@SirMalorak]

Dat..Music...OMG. Goosebumps.

[@Bluebomberimo]

Oh man, the shivers I felt when the Rainbow Road music cued in.

[@chompchompmaster2885]

Even almost 8 years later this trailer is fantastic

[@MrNo1fan]

Hopefully the next Mario kart (9) will be even bigger and crazier, trailers are always the biggest part and I hope Nintendo will blow our mind when they will reveal it.

[@harrybest2041]

@@MrNo1fan It will probably be in the next 3-6 years by now.

[@prequaIs]

@@harrybest2041 it'll come out when the next nintendo console comes out which will probably be either 2024 or 2025

[@harrybest2041]

@@prequaIs 2025 is the earliest.

[@RTheStoryteller7]

The reveal of N64 Rainbow Road is still pretty special for me, like we already knew N64 Rainbow Road gonna come back and when it did, it's magical

[@GameLifeBalance]

They could seriously extend Rainbow Road to make each lap last 15 minutes and I'D STILL PLAY IT CONSTANTLY

[@erguille]

Or they could add the option of raising the number of laps to F1 numbers, a la 25, 50 laps... ;)

[@MasterYoshi93]

erguille oh man that would be cool and then plus the opition for ALL Tracks in on GP like in the Gamecube version XD

[@dynamicsketch]

I love how the characters' faces show emotion. Even Mario and Luigi's mustaches are effected by the wind.

[@EvaristeWK]

OH MY GOD! I saw N64 rainbow Road! Thanks Nintendo, you're the best!

[@Voffsing1]

you're*

[@EvaristeWK]

Voffsing1 ok there i changed it

[@Voffsing1]

Thank you.

[@xtraepic96]

N o i c e

[@TEdition.]

@teaisgood What are you talking about? it hasnt even released yet, i bet mariokart 8 is going to be amazing!! We will probably have a new mariokart in 5 years. First lets just focus on this game please.

[@b.a.g-gomez2610]

No matter what genre they're doing, Nintendo go out of their way to make a fantastic presentation. That's dedication right there.

[@CosmicFlareYT]

Thumb up for the longest track of Mario Kart history, N64 Rainbow Road!

[@aMkinfinity]

But it may be cut in three sections like MK7's RR.

[@nan0smm647]

aMkinfinity Well it was

[@Dog-mq3gt]

Where girls cried: the end of titanic Where men cried: 1:05

[@The_Admiral_Angel]

The music and that remastered N64 Rainbow Road is what sold me on making a preorder on this game. Not to mention that this'll possibly be the best looking a Wii U game to date.

[@andresnicaragua7274]

Best 2 1/4 minutes of my life..... So far

[@EpicLuigi24]

The entirety of GameXplain probably just had a simultaneous heart attack.

[@citrus-kix]

Yep! This game just looks so GOOD, I'm sure it'll sell quite amazingly. I bet my copy of Pokemon Black with a shiny Leavanny, found in the wild, if this game doesn't get at LEAST 1 million copies within 2 years.

[@citrus-kix]

I did exaggerate. I don't wanna lose my Leavanny...

[@stretch90]

Sorry, what happened with GameXplain?

[@YoshisVGM]

Dylan McClellan Oh it will sell way more than that. Super Mario 3D World sold 2 million copies in a month and a half. This game can definitely outclass that.

[@akumar9836]

Dylan McClellan lol

[@shulk3970]

I can't even tell you how exciting this made me! The graphics, music, track designs, even that Rainbow Road from MK64! I think its safe to say this will be the big Wii U game of the season. And its right near the end of the school year before summer break!

[@ScottyBeam]

That was the most beautiful trailer I've seen this year. Absolutely amazing job, Nintendo.

[@Dingalow]

That Rainbow Road gave me an eye-gasm

[@annahoph7194]

The music for what I am assuming is Rainbow Road gives me an ear-gasm

[@ominousyoshi]

Omg hearing the rainbow road theme while seeing the N64 track in all it's HD glory is mindblowing. Need the game NOW

[@kendrickRobinson-zc4wf]

back in april 2014 when i first saw this trailer i remember how excited i got about toad's turnpike returning in mario kart 8 that was one of my favorite courses in mario lart 64 as retro track

[@Lydon13]

I'll have no social life when this game comes out.

[@TheGhostgodzilla]

No one will XD

[@masterkenny199]

Hi, I come from 2021. Nobody has social life

[@Lawlietftw30]

I'm oddly excited for Shy Guy. I LOVED playing as him in Mario Tennis. Shy Guy is possibly the most adorable "baddy" in the Mario Games. His voice...oh gosh, his voice. Anyways, I'm excited!

[@indiejacob]

Did I just see N64 Rainbow Road re-made??? Because that looks awesome! *sheds tears*

[@GVGINU]

Yes you did my friend...yes you did...and it is indeed awesome.

[@CeciliaTapia]

Not just remade, also remixed with elements from the Wii and SNES versions. EPIC.

[@nwolf8064]

Super Mario Galaxy 2 brought back so many memories with Throwback Galaxy and now Nintendo finally brings back one of the best moments of my childhood again with N64 Rainbow Road... these tears of joy have a very good reason to be here now.

[@Jxudo]

This is gonna be the best Mario Kart yet.

[@negil]

I continue to not understand why Nintendo is making their Wii U videos 720p when the Wii U displays 1080p...

[@MassiveScore]

After seeing this, my pants just don't fit right anymore.

[@MYCAPSLOCKISALWAYSON]

New rainbow road looks like Rainbow Road + Wario Pinball.

[@227someguy]

i know graphics aren't everything, but this looks amazing. and they said the wii u was underpowered. this pretty much proves that the gap between the ps4 and the wii u isn't as big as the gap between the ps3 and the wii

[@donkeykong4983]

227someguy IKR!!!!!!!!!

[@felipemacknight]

As a Mario Kart superfan, since the very first game, I'm completely overwhelmed, it even got my heart racing... the attention to detail in the design and the phenomenal soundtrack nearly bring me to tears. What an outstanding job Nintendo!

[@BenjaminBrewerPTG]

Nintendo, I WILL buy this on launch date. Its just too good to pass up!

[@wiilover07]

THAT RAINBOW ROAD!! :O

[@zanno073]

:O

[@tumamaencosplay]

I felt si dissapointed with it, after the color galore Super Mario 3D WORLD was, i expected Rainbow road to be so gleefully colorfull it would give seizures to epilepsy-weak people. :(

[@Michaelsully1009]

tumamaencosplay I believe that's what they did to the N64 Rainbow Road. So just imagine the new one.

[@jacks.cosplay]

tumamaencosplay we have yet to see special cups rainbow road as well

[@wiilover07]

I think it looks awesome. It's gold and it has color to it and it looks like the Mario Kart 64's rainbow road.

[@GuyWhoLovesGames]

I have a serious complaint to make about this game. It isn't being released until the end of May!

[@JeffGavinMusic]

Pleased to see so many people wanting a Wii U now...but come on guysss, Super Mario 3D World and Tropical Freeze are masterpieces. You should have already had one by now! That being said, obviously this game is going to be perfect. I do hope it gives the Wii U the boost in sales it needs, and it have no doubt it will! These graphics, and if you see a video of it running at 60 fps it's honestly breathtaking. I can't believe we have to wait nearly two months still. Nintendo is so incredible.

[@harrybest2041]

2014 was a big year for the Wii U, yet it still never gained the recognition it deserves.

[@JomaXZ]

That rainbow road theme! I think my nostalgia goggles are gonna overload...

[@supatvshowuploader]

Who else is pumped for May 30th?! :D

[@RGE2]

I think the right question is 'who isnt?'

[@ImmortalTimm19]

RealGamingExpert true

[@dantemustdie00]

Fist pumping all the way to May 30th.

[@mitusgladius2324]

HECK YAH!

[@bitfrooty]

8 more weeks T_T I'm so impatient.

[@aluhvee]

I literally sat here for almost 15 minutes trying to put my excitement into words, and couldn't do it, so... I'll just say this. xD

[@mastersam111]

This game's where it's at! PS4 and XB1 graphics got nothing on this!

[@SevenHours29]

Ah, Mario Kart, playing with a group of friends is what makes you so fun. Making time go fast unnoticed.

[@YoshisVGM]

Nintendo...this...looks...phenomenal. This game will be mine...oh yes, it will be mine...

[@lordganma]

I am really digging that Jazzy Rainbow Road remix. It really bring a lot of memories playing Mario Kart: Double Dash with my family and friends. Yes I do know that this Rainbow Road is a hyped up version from the N64 but, I have more awesome moments playing DD.

[@RandomDuude]

I'm a grown man with a job, a wife, and 2 kids and that sound at 1:06 is all it took for me to be 11 years old again 😭

[@lucaspagnozzi6401]

Every now and the I come back to this video. The first time I saw this I cried. I may have cried a few others times too, the nostalgia... its too much

[@ThatGamerDownLeRoad]

I was thinking that the Rainbow Road looked like they wanted to make it like N64 RR. Then they zoomed out at the end and I was like HOLYSHITERMAHGERDILOVEYOUNINTENDO *cries*

[@MrRoman1197]

Thats because it is the 64 RR!

[@ThatGamerDownLeRoad]

Ik that's why i freaked when they zoomed out.

[@luigibowser3327]

I am throwing my money to the screen, but nothing happens.

[@maximiliannilsson5841]

I know the feeling bro

[@duskk9645]

Nintndo should just open up a banking branch, and allow people to pay for games right from their checking accounts.

[@Singleraxis]

Nintendo must keep up this artistic style and get more advanced shader works on going! It looks glorious.

[@SuperFlameRunner]

God, if N64 Rainbow Road can get a remix like this, imagine the remixes for the OTHER retro courses!

[@digivince]

The rainbow road music in this just tossed me back into the 90s. Can't explain how excited I am for this.

[@TehEpicMan87]

The Rainbow Road N64 music just got to me ;-;

[@UpForDown]

KirbyGamer87 I got a nostalgia feeling and chills over my spine. I think...i need a moment ;-;

[@TehEpicMan87]

same here

[@TehEpicMan87]

don't u know those moments in a trailer that u want to replicate perfectly in sync to the music. This Music makes me want to do this with mario

[@UpForDown]

Defenitly

[@TehEpicMan87]

just in case there was any confusion in the way i worded it I wanna recreate the gameplay trailer if u will at the end

[@FoxMan_FF]

My greatest fear has been confirmed: They brought back Metal Mario. :I

[@bluefirekid]

Imagine if they brought Funky Kong back as well.

[@citrus-kix]

AGH!!!!!!!!!!!! Hide your kids!!!! THEY'VE COME BACK TO HAUNT US FOR THEIR CHEAP STATS!!!!!!!!!!

[@WarningProGamerhere]

Dylan McClellan XD I cant stop laughing!

[@bluefirekid]

Dylan McClellan NOT EVEN THE BLUE SHELLED ASSASSINS CAN STOP THEM. RUN EVERYBODY, WHILE YOU STILL CAN. On a serious note, I am curious to who will end up being that this game.

[@citrus-kix]

Agreed....

[@MrMassivemeatlog]

welp I've been holding off on buying a console but this settles it, I'm buying a Wii U.

[@NintendoFan]

Rainbow Road... :'D

[@D4nkfury]

Nintendo have I ever said how much I love you?

[@ZeldaDomination]

This is amazing! And I love the little touch at the end where Mario beats Bowser for first place at the last second.

[@pyongang7710]

I did not see orchestrated music coming (epically for a Mario kart game) good job Nintendo :D

[@Spletz]

Here’s to the people on KZbin who don’t say this is from Mario kart 8 deluxe, but Mario kart 8.

[@handsomecaveman]

Alright, I don't even care about the gameplay. You've sold me on that Rainbow Road 64 Remix alone.

[@MITHYKA]

Dem mustache physics doe!

[@matmcbride1996]

I love how the trailer ends without us knowing who crossed the finish like first, Mario or Bowser. :D A nice nod to their rivalry.

[@GunbladeRevolver]

Dat Rainbow Road tho...My goodness the visuals on THAT!!!

[@saiyanwill]

and that's just the N64 Rainbow Road, can u imagine the one made specifically for this game

[@GunbladeRevolver]

Oh THAT'S gonna be a sight to behold there

[@improvdude20]

that settles it, I'm so getting a Wii U

[@TheLeonardProduction]

Tears were shed this day...

[@ChippyArmando39]

*It's already 2020, and this trailer still looks amazing like 5 years ago*

[@luigi9237]

I love the kart Todette is riding at 0:57 :)

[@gushernandez25]

Endless summer nights playing this, HEECKKS YEAHHH!

[@Nintentional]

This trailer makes it so much harder waiting til the 30th of next month now. On the flipside, playing this game on the 30th will make the wait til e3 easier.

[@lewsee5562]

I wonder what the new Rainbow Road looks like. The N64 version looked gorgeous!

[@pyongang7710]

I actually thought that rainbow road N64 was a new rainbow road because of how amazing it looks, I didn't even recognize it!

[@PissedoffOtaku]

mamaluigithesquidkid not sure if it's true but i heard the rainbow road in this game actually contains sections from all previous rainbow roads in the Mario Kart series

[@YoshisVGM]

The producer, Hideki Konno, mentioned in an interview that they have done something "truly special" with the new Rainbow Road. Literally cannot wait to see it!

[@Trimarcs]

Yoshi's VGM Dude that's awesome! The first thing I thought when they revealed Mario Kart 8's frist trailer was pretty much " anti gravity rainbow road? I don't think we're gonna be ready for this madness" but then I think about the fact that we have gliding and swimming as well... can't wait!.

[@lewsee5562]

Heehee... I can't wait for the upcoming rage. We all know that Rainbow Road was hard! Except N64 version because of the rails. Maybe Nintendo slightly removed those?

[@mnmtwinzgaming]

This looks incredible! But if ya'll don't announce a release date for Super Smash Bros by the release of this game, I will *cry.*

[@attaquerboo2087]

SSB4 will probably get a release date at E3

[@attaquerboo2087]

I think it's June 12 this year :D

[@M1RO333]

16 may... Yw

[@HylianBean97]

I think it will be released at the end of the year 2014 once when all the games have come out possibly with a delay so they can add finishing touches too it so far it looks awesome I wish they added the Story cutscenes mode in

[@MultiRaul78]

All New 4 Ever June 12? My birthday :D

Is it just me, or does the ground below Rainbow Road look a lot like an overview image of Lumiose City from Pokemon X and Pokemon Y at night?

NINTENDO! Next mario kart game should be for the wii u or any new console you will make should have EVERY playable character from the previous games EVERY playable stages from the previous games and a new 16 stages! THAT WOULD BE THE BEST MARIO KART GAME EVER AND IT WOULD BE AMAZING!

What will they do for the next ones then

[@PKSparkxxDH]

Only 720p!? *****, please show Nintendo how to render their videos. We need to see this in ALL of it's glory!!

[@happypoo3201]

***** true. if it was 1080p it would be the first Nintendo game to do so... Nintendo says all there first party games are in 1080p but they are obviously 720p when you see them in person.

[@Abpaco1]

They have confirmed it´s gonna be 1080p and 60fps . They never upload videos of their "incomplete" games at 1080p. For example with DKTF, they didn´t upload any video in 1080 until they released a second trailer after the game was already out, same with Super Mario 3D world. I guess, it´s because the game isn´t finished yet. This game is gonna look awesome on a Wii U .

[@happypoo3201]

Abner Winter neither of those games were in 1080p... I own them.

[@Abpaco1]

George Barry ***** Hey guys! , I also own the games, great games aren´t they ? You´re true saying that those games run natively on 720p , but both are upscaled to 1080p, you can look for this information on internet. Also, I just confirmed what I said, Nintendo uploaded videos in 1080p for both Mario 3D world and DKTF once they were out.

[@TehxHope]

George Barry Super Mario 3D World is definitely 1080p and 60fps. I play Super Mario 3D World on my 32" 1080p LG Smart TV and the animation/graphics look absolutely stunning. Better than a 1080p video I've seen on any computer.

[@Klobb64]

Thank you thank you thank you for taking the N64 Rainbow Road and making it awesomely amazing thank you thank you

[@8iff]

This is the trailer that convinced me to buy the Wii U. Hundreds of hours playing this game later and I still don't regret it one bit
