Why isn't this game discussed more? I feel like all kart racers are brushed under the rug meanwhile they are some of the most fun and competitive games out there.

There's not much to talk about and it's several years old
best MK
Because it came out in 2014.

even with FIA money no one gives two shits about GT Sport. racing anything has always been a niche genre that only resides on their respective forums - on top of that 2/3s of Sup Forums does not even hold a drivers license
Sanic Kart is better.
There's nothing to talk about in a game that has no depth, and came out five years ago.
Seriously what could we possibly discuss on the topic of MK8D?
>Nintendo
>amazing graphics
You can't take Mario Karts seriously because of all the bullshit they put in to them, that's what eventually makes me fall off. Even if you are the best in the lobby, get blue shelled lap 3 and you get fifth place. I do think mk8 is a ton of fun regardless
what's there to talk about even
Will they make a new Mario Kart, make new DLC or just not do anything else MK-related for the Switch?
Will Super Mario Odyssey have to wait until next console generation before getting representation in kart (considering every 3D Mario has been represented)?
What are the chances we're getting a vers. 2.0 with new characters and tracks?
who is it missing?
pretty high considering the succes the game has, it'll probably cost money though
>talking about MK instead of hosting a room and playing together
The only thing missing imo is the exclusion of some more important characters like diddy and petey piranha and I wished they added block fort in battle mode and had a classic balloon mode where it wasn't just for points but to the death. If it was like n64 battle mode it would've been perfect.
mk8 is great
mkwii and mk7 though are cancer. too many faggots bitching at the lack of funky kong/wheeling bikes/item balance etc.
In a few months, it'll be four years old. The Switch port didn't really add much that's worth discussing, either.
What's there to say? It's the best Mario Kart game.
>MK8 secondaries complaining that they're late to the party when they only got on board with Deluxe
Had you owned a Wii U, you could have talked about the game back in the day when we all talked about it.
I really hope they will make a new mk soon.
What are you talking about?
>diddy
>birdo
>petey
>my nigga king bob-omb
After the two DLC packs and new characters introduced in the port I can safely say that MK8D has my favorite Mario Kart roster, but simply because of the sheer number of characters playable. Just a bunch of unnecessary shit, too many babies. Too many metal characters. Who at Nintendo thought people wanted to play as Tanooki Mario or Cat Peach?
captain falcon, excitebiker, diddy, doctor mario, kirby, birdo, R.O.B., spike, koopa and goomba
Diddy is one of the major omissions (maybe even the only "major" one)
Birdo is usually a recurring spinoff character.
Also, I find it weird that we never got multicolored Toads.
If we wanted to get all of Bowser's high-rankers in there, we'd need Kamek, Boom Boom and Pom Pom (though only Kamek is "necessary")
>hover kart gimmick barely does anything
>static stages
>no Danica Patrick
Genuinely a poopgame.
Captain Falcon would be sweet though I'm not sure his proportions fit into Mario Kart, he's kinda tall.
mkds is still better than this casualized shit
wiggler and the bee bitch were cool additions
I'd actually pay to get Danica Patrick in Mario Kart
This though.
Green bronze Luigi
There's a lot of Mario characters I could put in there, but I don't really give a shit since it already has based Shy Guy.
youtu.be
I'm ready for Mario & Nintendo All-Stars Karting, with a Smash-tier roster to make up for all the Koopas, babies, and reskins.
I want to fuck Wendy
Fixed
>removing koopa
cappy
i mean that i saw a decent amount of people complain at the lack of those things when mk8 came out on wii u.
I want mission mode
Will there be any more DLC for this? Or is this it?
we all played it to death like 4 years ago.
Also it kinda has a shit roster and course list
I think being disappointed about the removal of wheelies without adding any interesting mechanic as a replacement is perfectly justified. MK8's items system is absolute ass.
But I've never heard anyone complain about the lack of Funky Kong outside of meme posts.
I really hope they bring it back in MK9. MK really needs something to do in singleplayer and thrashing computers in GP mode isn't fun at all.
What could they possibly add that would bring new life into the game. The last time MK had dlc they added some of the worst track the series ever had.
Baby Tanooki Mario
Baby Cat Peach
Green Bronze Luigi
E. Gadd
Because it's just a port of a 2014 game
This asshole, whose been teased at since 1996
keep koopa and lakitu, koopa was in from the beginning and lakitu is a nice addition
zero gravity is for more interesting track design on top of giving you a speed boost for bumping into other racers
Fucking Kirby and his air rides?!
But it's not more interesting. It's indistinguishable from a normal track mechanically, and barely noticeable even visually while you're playing.
i'd prefer the change to minimal, doesn't effect the game too drastically but offers a little bit more variety. Fine by me.
It adds nothing to the game. Gliders did, until they gimped them in 8.
Because we all talked it to death ages ago? Ports never rekindle discussion as well as the original
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Koopalings. I legitimately don't understand rosterfags's hatred of them.
I think they'd be more well received all the other mario staples also got in as well. Instead it seemed like the koopalings were replacements.
It's the best MK but there's not much to talk about
Any Warioware Character
If it really was so good then there would be a lot to talk about.
Pauline
Broodals
E. Gadd
Diddy Kong (+ whichever DKR-friends can make it)
Geno/Mallow (unlikely thanks to Squeenix)
Samus
Captain Falcon
I mean, Mario Kart has always been great. Some Mario Karts are obviously better than others, though. And it's still one of the best things to play with your friends. I don't think anyone is gonna disagree on that.
They should just keep adding to 8D, I dont see how 9 could top it.
Also Wario is the best.
*also Fox and Excite-Biker because fuck it.
>I dont see how 9 could top it.
Better modes and gameplay mechanics.
The only items this game needs are:
Mushrooms for speed
Green Shells for offense
Bananas for defense
And the Star and MAYBE red shells for people in last place so they still have a chance
Seeing that 8D could top games that came out before it, there's still a lot of room for improvement. I think they should starz with the broken item system.
This game does have way to many and way to powerful items, but reducing them to 3 would suck.
>no shock
wtf dude
>Sanic Kart is better.
Are you referring to that Western-developed bug-ridden trash? The one made by a filthy Anglo British studio where you can use bees on the person in first place? It’s not even a kart racer because 2/3 of the stages involve flying or floating. Sub 30fps on consoles. And sub HD. Only the PC version with a decent GPU is playable and even then the online is a ghost town.
It’s not even in the same league as MK. The last four MK games shit on it with watery diareah liquid shit
Go play Gran Turismo you grand autismo
>so(n)yboy moaning about graphics
No Diddy.
>Non Mario characters
They should just release the next one and call it Super Smash Kart
>>no shock
This is good tho.
Thing is worse then the Blue Shell. I just love being struck by lightning at random and falling to my doom.
This was my biggest complaint about MK8, the roster. 7 fucked up with shitty track design and ugly car parts, 8 fucked up the character list. Sure, it's a big roster, but we get shit like Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Metal Mario and peach, and five fucking babies at the cost of Koopa/Paratroopa, Drybones, Funky/Diddy Kong, Petey Pirhana, etc.
Dedede, Falcon, Changing Chuck, Dixie
Because it's RNG shit

Mario Kart is not nice. Mario Kart Wii is the third best selling game ever with over 35 million sales. Mario Kart 8 sold close to 8 million copies to an audience of 13 million. Mario Kart 8 deluxe has already sold almost 4 million to an audience of 10 million. Despite being a port it is the second best selling Nintendo Switch game overall. And in fact, when the more casual players start getting into the Switch I am willing to bet MK8D will surpass BotW.
Baby dry walu pink gold king tanooki Mario junior kong
I would like to play it, but it feels really awkward to hold the joy cons, and I'm not going to spend £60 for one of those "Pro" controller memes.
Sanbo Raceman was a great kart racer, aside from the low number of tracks and that fucking retard trying to do the voices for the TF2 character.
That should say Mario Kart is not niche
It was the best MK, but MK has been around since the fucking SNES. If it's been said once it's been said 1000 times.
>I dont see how 9 could top it.
New maps, characters and vehicle-customization choices
New powerups/ways to use power-ups in general
Ways for players to see/counter incoming hostilities in ways that require skill to work
More vehicle types beyond karts and bikes (ex: boards, hovercrafts, "tanks", etc,)
New minigames and multiplayer features
>itemrape kart
>the best mk
Come on now. Did you even play the others? I honestly think mk was better when most items still sucked, and it was more about driving and strategy.
Weirdly omitting characters actually makes the roster look less bad. Perhaps if they had arranged the characters by weight instead it wouldn’t have been so glaringly obvious how many of the characters are copy pastes
I did too, until a better minion-woman was created.
Came out 3 years ago. You're right though, it's a fucking great game and I wouldn't mind more DLC.
Is flying onto the wall and cutting the last corner like that on rMC actually faster than just cutting trough the grass?
>I dont see how 9 could top it.
250cc
More time trial setups and ghosts
Expanded single-player mode
More creative track design now that Odyssey is out
A track about Metal Mario (how is this not a thing)
You could always use the controller the Switch comes with
>250cc
Most people already hate 200cc dude.
>More time trial setups and ghosts
Bring back flaps. The game still keeps track of them, but doesn't display them in the menu for whatever reason.
>removing Pink Gold Peach
Kill yourself.
This. Even the best shit in SaSASRT is avoidable. Mario kart is Mario party tier retarded.
>Hurrhurr just stay in second place til the end
>Hurrhurr intentionally put yourself in 8th so you can get a star
Shits luck based trash
>mario kart 8
is there even a reason to play this by yourself?
Never owned a Wii U. Bought this for my Nintendo Switch. It's legitimately one of the best games I've played in years. If this is the calibre of software the Wii U had then it's a damn shame the system failed. The game is amazing and I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it. Not sure if it controlled differently on Wii U with its touchpad or whatever but it's sublime on Switch.
Probably because it's too fast and they always lose
It's even better on the Switch because most of the stuff's unlocked
For time trials maybe.
Fun fact, his emblem is in vanilla MK8.
its fun
didn't they add the exact battle mode you just mentioned?
Nobody knows because nobody even plays battle mode.
