"This time with the power of the Wii U we really made an effort to keep that graphic quality high regardless of how many ways we were splitting the TV into," he said.

For his part, Yabuki pointed out that the power of the Wii U allowed Nintendo to create better-looking character animations, to the level and range and of things that "we've never seen before" in the Mario Kart series, he said. But that's only the beginning.

"We've also been able to show movement on the [karts and bikes] that we haven't seen before," he said. "We're seeing bounding, we're seeing different parts of the kart move, we're seeing dirt on the tires, we're seeing skidmarks left on the course--again I think we've done a good job of utilizing that graphical power."

"Using the power of the Wii U, we were able to create a Mario Kart title that feels right, and the controls feel like they're perfect for this game."

I just can't get over how shiny and awesome Metal Mario is. I'm probably going to use him just so I can see it more.

Yeah he is a cool character. I see myself using him quite a bit. I love how the headlights come on in levels when going into tunnels. Lots of little things, and details that add up to a visual masterpiece .

The game does look stunning!
If the next Zelda is (it will!) look as good, Wii U is going to fly off shelves!

And just think how awesome Zelda U is going to look with all the extra time they'll surely have to polish and perfect it

Anyone else feel when MK8, Super Smash, Bayonetta 2 and new Zelda drops the Wii U will be reborn?

Sales might not take off as much as Nintendo would like but still, I see Wii U selling more than Gamecube despite peoples low expectations.

In all honesty, Mario Kart 8 is the nicest-looking game I have ever seen. I just can't get over it.

While I agree with you, I really can't get over the fact that they haven't included cross-game chat yet. I've played my 360 for many hours with my friends online and I realized that I can't get the same experience playing the games I'd prefer to play.

Tire marks stay on the track even after 2, 3 laps etc... great details like this make it even more exciting to race in the sand, snow, ice and asphalt.

I think it's safe to say there's a reason for that.

It would cool to see a direct comparison of a course that appeared in MK Wii that's now in MK 8, just to see how far they've come in a gnereation.

Vent, Teamspeak or Raidcall my friend.  Or, Skype if you're really hard up, on the cheap, and it's resource-hog-nature's not an issue.

I'm sure screenshots and video don't really do the game justice, it looks pretty in them but I know it'll look gorgeous.

I have to admit though that cloud level (cloudtop kingdom?) looks absolutely amazing, can't wait for may 30th!!
