J-Max Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I thought they would have at least used Baby Wario or DK over Rosa and Daisy.... As for the Metal thing, I really would have prefered a Power up. Meh I guess if the Wii U ever got Modified, people could Mod MK8 like they did for the Wii version.

But baby Rosalina is so adorable..... The idea of Baby Wario horrifies me. And the Metal Cap should be an item. That would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I actually feel the metal box would be great. It can be like... you dont actually flip or spin when something hits you. But it lowers your speed VERY slightly And it lasts for a good 30 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Isn't that just a worse power star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Okay lets make it so you dont lose speed And the change would be you dont go faster...BUT you can get it in the FIRST THREE SPOTS as well... Also the power star has been getting nerfed every game so...XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hey, in MK7, do you go faster if you have 10 coins collected over a lesser number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Just got back from playing Mario Kart 8 at gamestop. It is GLORIOUS!! They only had 8 levels playable: Mario Stadium That figure 8 circuit which name I can't remember Electrodome Sunshine Airport The candy one Toad harbor The sky one And water park The game handles mostly like mariokart 7. There are only 2 things I should note: 1. Bikes power slide is pretty awks, it doesn't turn as sharply. Will take time to get used to. I often ended up sliding right into the rough patches cuz it was so weird 2. X/Y (whichever of those 2 on mk7 used items) instead makes you look behind you. Items on gamepad and pro is left trigger. It messed me up a bit at first. But if you've played mk7, you'll get this pretty quick if you use karts. Again, bikes are a little weird. The moment I realized antigrav was cool was on Mario Stadium, when you get out of anti-grav, there's just like a 90 degree turn to the ground. It was a bit of a shock since the turn into antigrav to GET that angle was so silky smooth that I didn't even notice. 10 atta 10. I also had a few moments of desperately trying to avoid an object in antigrav and accidentally running into it instead, getting the speed boost. Totally caught me off guard xD. Water Park, that sub has wheel things at its base where it connects with the track which did just that to me. It was cool. EVERYTHING IS AWESOME.

Agro Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Butit's just a demo. Also I was beating everyone else in the store and consistently getting 1st :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Well great, the moment I blow $100 on a 2DS, the MK8 storm begins to brew. F*cking Wii-U and its 4th gen glory. I'll just stick to my tradition and get 7, and then when 5th gen comes out along with MK9, I'll get a Wii-U a year afterward along with 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 But baby Rosalina is so adorable..... The idea of Baby Wario horrifies me. And the Metal Cap should be an item. That would be cool. Baby Wario is a thing. He was in the Yoshi Island game on the DS. This, Diddy and Dixie are really overdue for a role in Mario Kart. Diddy was in already in Mario Kart. He should come back though.

DL Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hey, in MK7, do you go faster if you have 10 coins collected over a lesser number? Indeed I find it silly but indeed. Oh and I preordered it.... :3 This will be so cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 I'll probably get it day one. One of those games I know I'll like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 If I wasn't already sold, I am now :> Though, I'm a little mixed on how well my MK7 skills transferred over. Usually between iterations, it takes longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 I'm generally excellent at Mario Kart, so my skills transfer really well. I even got the hang of the demo in the first few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yeah, it's just that going between double dash, ds, and 3ds, everything felt so different. Wii, obviously did, though I never played that with a regular controller. Dunno what it was like with a gamecube controller. It only took me a while to get a hang of the controls because the bikes are just weird on power slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Maybe its cuz they dont have as good handling as karts? XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Racing games tend to stay consistent, if they get sequels n' junk.So of course it would be natural that everyone's skills "carry over". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
