Nintendo today provided new details on the "Mario Kart TV" functionality for its upcoming kart racing gameMario Kart 8 for Wii U and confirmed that a $330 premium bundle will be available in North America.

Not only can you watch your highlight racing reels, rewind them, play them in slow motion, or upload them to Miiverse, but you can also upload these clips directly to YouTube from the Wii U. All you'll need to do so is a Google account.

Nintendo has been criticized for lagging behind competitors like Microsoft and Sony with regards to online functionality, but for this feature, Nintendo is actually ahead of the game. Only two weeks ago did Microsoft begin allowing Xbox One owners to upload video clips directly to YouTube, while PlayStation 4 owners don't even have a YouTube app at all available to them.

Also confirmed today was a $330 Mario Kart 8 premium bundle for North America. Previously slated for release in Europe, the bundle includes a Wii U Deluxe system, copy of Mario Kart 8, a red Mario wheel accessory, and a red Mario Wii Remote Plus controller.

Mario Kart 8 launches May 30 exclusively for Wii U. Anyone who buys the standard Mario Kart 8 game will receive another game absolutely free. For more on Mario Kart 8, be sure to watch tons of new video footage from the game.

Who would want to watch Mario Cart?

 

Anyway, this is ironic, considering how they smashed (pun not intended, but I like it) on youtubers just a bit ago.

Oh so not a direct insult.

Yeah i hate when companies do that, basically just a greedy thing to do :/

SEGA was even worse. They flagged any video that even mentioned like just said the words shining force. Like not even gamneplay footage. Just like someone talking about the old SEGA Genesis game with no footage and they would get flagged and took down many videos. Sega did stop eventually.

 

But yeah it's stupid when they pull it down even tho it's under the fair use policy.

Good feature, wonder if Nintendo will ever allow short Youtube game clips for other games to upload on Miiverse

Smash bros plz

It was so ridiculously hard to get footage in Brawl. Frinking sucked. If everyone can get footage of full games for sm4sh so many more epic moments'll b captured.

[Scumbag]

They have the resources already in place as official devs on Miiverse can upload youtube clips directly onto a new post, it's just the case of will Nintendo be bombarded with too many vids by players on Miiverse.

Yes.

You just hit the button that says Save Replay after a match...Is there something I'm not gettong here?

Yeah that'll save it to the wii... in a non video form. It actually saves all the input made throughtout the match and then recreates it when you "watch" it back. You can see how this footage then becomes incredibly difficult to use, since even if you get the file off the Wii, you have to have a special software to playback all the moves in the game. And it also won't save your name tag. AND it only works if your game is under 3 minutes.

Yup. And nintendo gets every cent of every ad, that appears on any one of those any time anybody watches one.
