$60 and not at launch :^)))
I still don't get the pricing, it should be $40.
>48 Tracks (0 new)
>>Shine Thief
That's the DD mode right? Fucking hope so because it and Bob-Omb Battle are DD's best features.
>$60
Is it really? It's less than full price in the UK.
The single thing I'm interested in, new tracks, don't exist
Pretty sure the main devs behind MK8 are on ARMS now, so the resources were much more limited.
I just hope we get at least a couple more cups. Would love to play it online again but burned myself out on the courses already.
Should maybe $30 for Wii U MK8 owners, but you'll definitely get more out of it than most $60 games out there if you're coming in fresh.
Can you play battle mode online?
If not then it is trash.
But will you be able to do last man standing for balloon battle and bob-omb blast instead of that stupid timed shit?
Ia the splatoon track in the wii u version?
How much you wanna bet no one plays the battle modes a few months after launch and this kills mk8 online if it isnt shared with the Wii U online.
double dash battle modes are back boys!
Worth it just to play with Sup Forums again.
That's a battle track.
no
this is the single most important thing to me right now
the fact that there are 12 players in Battle Mode, I'm hoping means it's online, since team battle mode for the Sup Forumseekend would be based
So has anyone who played Deluxe said how the double items impacts item balance? I feel like the changes in 7 and 8 punished leading racers a bit too much for my liking, and double items hopefully addresses that by giving you more options to protect yourself.
If not for that and the lack of a proper battle mode, 8 would easily have been my favourite in the series. So if Deluxe is addressing both then it'd be fucking amazing.
Shit man, this is the biggest Mario Kart I've seen, I'll gladly be payin 60 for this.
Sucks for WiiU owners I guess, I skipped that thing like any sensible person.
If battle mode really wasn't that worth it/good to begin with why was its absence such an apparent detriment to Mario Kart 8 vanilla?
>punished leading racers
The opposite happened. Now that you can hold two items, I bet it'll be even easier for 1st to hoard defensive items.
So King Boo is one of the new characters.
That one screenshot of the new player roster didn't have Miis on it, but Miis were just confirmed to return again. So there's probably more unrevealed characters.
If they can add Diddy Kong, Birdo and Cranky/Dixie, the roster would be absolutely perfect.
E Gadd and Petey Piranha would be nice too, but those are longshots.
>online shared with Wii U
>paid online for Switch version
I doubt it, but I'd like it to happen just for laughs and to play some 200cc again.
Played this game to death on the Wii U, don't know if this will be enough to get me to buy the game again
I felt the opposite. In MK8 there were a ton of races where I could just get ahead and be completely untouchable since everyone else was fucking eachother over in the middle of the pack with items.
>no new race tracks
>no Diddy
>still no Kamek
Yeah, two items at a time will help balance the game and open up new strategies.
Why would it not be online? The original MK8 battle mode is online.
It's for smart people who didn't buy a Wii U or vanilla MK8.
And for that perspective and the content that comes with it, the price is justified.
If you're a corporate drone however, there's no reason to upgrade.
It seems you're not very smart.
>Only one driver per kart
dropped
>Nintendo Poland
I'm polish and I call bullshit. There is no Nintendo branch here.
>battle mode
Fucking sold. This is the best part of the multiplayer and it should've been in the Wii U version from the start.
>light weights are still going to be garbage compared to heavy weights
>firehopping is still going to be in the game
so can we turn off time limit in battlemode? thats all I need for it to be fun I hate how they made it so if you run out of balloons you can still win.
>Have to pay an additional fucking subscription to play over the internet you're already paying for.
Instantly dropped.
Didn't 200cc kill firehopping?
Nintendo is going to remove firehopping, and may tweak weight class stats.
Yeah
When is all that content coming to the Wii U version?
LM@O
>40 for the biggest Mario Kart to date
This has more than double the content then the average MK. If anything the original should get a price cut because vanilla is really anemic in comparison now.
aren't game of the year editions of games usually full price anyways? to me it seems like a goty repack but with more stuff.
Do people actually care about battle mode?
Dead serious
