Wii U - Mario Kart 8 - More New Features Trailer

[@JoshJepson]

While I think the roster is not quite what people wanted, there's still a huge cast of awesome characters. Everything is so gorgeous and I'm REALLY looking forward to playing. (Also, Mario Kart 8 comes out 3 days before my 21st birthday. Getting drunk and playing mario kart sounds like a good idea right now!!)

[@miami2881]

Does the roster really matter that much in a Mario Kart game? If they aren't in smash, then I don't care if they're in Kart

[@TheRollinNolan]

Drinking and driving?! How irresponsible!

[@metanav]

Well Josh, there's you're birthday present from Nintendo.

[@erickmaverick3128]

miami2881 I know. Its not really a reason for folks to be bent out of shape. I've said this before, if you don't like a character, don't play as them.

they ripped that off from _Sonic And Sega All Stars Racing_

[@TheBitBlock]

"I can't wait to play as Golden Pink Peach & Baby Rosalina!" said nobody ever. :P

[@GamingOnTheRaidar]

Oh come on Josh, we all know no one asked for those charactors, but Nintendo never said they wont suport DLC in the future, there is still hope. And besides, you shouldnt be focused on those things, you should be amazed by everything else that is great about this game that we learnt today, such as voice chat, new courses, upload replays to KZbin, post them on Miiverse and download them from your friends. And the amazing deal you get if you buy and register your game, you get another game FREE. Josh, Nintendo has grown over the last few weeks, their directs and marketing has become funny and entertaining, they have listened to their fans and have been preparing for E3. Dont be focusing on the negatives of Nintendo, focus on all the awesome they are puting out for fans like us!.... otherwise the Reggie Filsa-mec will kill you with his eyes... just sayin.

[@CaptainCornDawgz]

Gamingontheradar you are totally right.

[@rose-df6fx]

I'll play as Rosalina. But not Baby Rosalina.

[@HombreAlabama]

I'll play as baby Rosalina and I will still kick your ass in the game :)

[@ZeroequalsZero]

I can't wait to play as Rosalina. So up yours, Mr. Assumer!

[@YoshisVGM]

To those of you saying there will be more unlockable characters, there won't be unless there's DLC. They said in the Direct that this is the final and complete character roster. But it won't bother me, I'll be playing as Yoshi anyway.

[@xuhiken]

I really hope they make DLC for it, not really for new characters, but new races :) Come on Nintendo, my money is waiting!!

[@altaccount3006]

I am from the future there has been dlc for a long time

Yeah that one was a big surprise too.

[@burnt-potatoes]

Seeing people refer to Mount Wario as “Snow Level” just makes me laugh for some reason.

[@SuperFlameRunner]

I don't care if Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach aren't what the fans wanted. I will play as them and I will love them! Because Mario Kart isn't about the racers, but about the races!

[@wsySwimMKWII23802]

Good -Yoshi Valley and DS Wario Stadium are confirmed! Part of my top ten favorite tracks! - Bowser's Castle looks so epic. - Super Horn item is my favorite item in Mario Kart 8 Bad -No Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Bowser Jr., Dry Bones, Dry Bowser, Birdo or King Boo. They Got replaced by Pink Gold Peach (At least she's probatly better than Honey Queen an/or Wiggler) -No GCN Wario Coliseum (I was hoping for it) -I hate coins as an item (i think it's useless) Overall, I'm still like this game and I'm getting it.

[@emcoo3413]

Coins are how you unlock a lot of kart parts though

[@UnexpectedGamer7]

This is probably the most gorgeous game Nintendo has ever developed. The graphics already look amazing on KZbin, imagine how nice they must be while actually playing!

[@XXtheJUMPoffXX]

The graphics are really impressive in this game. Almost look like cutscenes instead of in-game visuals.

Am I the only one that loves when they do original things in their games? I mean it's fantastic to have classic stuff but what's the point of a new game if its that same as the last one. Like PinkGoldPeach looks so epic, but everyone is just hating on her. We haven't even got to play as her yet to see if she's garbage or not.

[@classicrockguy7]

Oh boy, an item that cancels blue shells. Winning is going to be so much easier for the first place guy.

[@alexchavez7514]

So we have the Koopalings, another baby character, and another metal clone. You know what that means? We need the combination of all three of these ideas and more: DRY METAL BABY BOWSER.

To everyone complaining about the character roster, you do know that Mario Kart is known to have secret unlockable characters & tracks.....right? If they just announced every available character in the Direct, it wouldn't be much of a secret anymore now would it?! Sorry if you want all of the surprises ruined for you before you even buy the damn game.

[@MrRoman1197]

Your logic makes no sense. They pretty much have shown the entire roster! More than half of the characters that they've shown ARE the secret characters that need to be unlocked! Did you seriously believe that they would give us 30 default characters?? lol thats funny

[@Kazmatic]
