It's almost here! We'll be racing in no time! And with that, I have some questions for you all.

 

What do you look forward to in Mario Kart? What kind of strategies do you have based around the new mechanics they will be introducing? How do you feel about the Super Horn? Feel free to answer and ask as well :) 

 

Personally, I'm really looking forward to the MAJOR graphic improvement, and the new and revamped tracks! As for the new mechanics. I'm guessing heavy characters will get a greater boost from bumping because of the negative effects anti-gravity will have on them. And the super horn will be awesome. I've seen videos where people can get them if they're in SECOND PLACE, and that makes it a whole lot better than I expected.

What do you look forward to in Mario Kart?

Playing online

 

What kind of strategies do you have based around the new mechanics they will be introducing?

Spin boosting looks great, I like that it adds some cooperation to the game.

 

How do you feel about the Super Horn?

It seems useful, but I hope it's not too frequent.

What my ninja here said.

I especially like that spin boosting makes the game slightly more competitive/makes  it slightly more possible for the person with the most skill to win

For me, one of the best things about MK8 is that it sounds like they've returned to the game's roots a bit. By this, I mean, it sounds like they've rebalanced the game in favor of driving skill over random luck, something that I think has been a bit of a problem since MK64. The fact that you can now avoid the blue shell with the horn is something that I'm very happy about, as I hate blue shells! Apparently online is smooth too, which is great.

I'm looking forward to the HD graphics and seeing chaos in 60fps. Also the tracks, one of my favorite things about a new Mario Kart game is learning the tracks.

Cannot wait!

Stratagies, 0_o never thought about those for Mario kart. Just wingin it always seems to do good for me. Though I do like dragin items behind me. Am interested in testin out the vid thing. I've been watching the clips on miiverse on the miiverse community though the quality isn't the best it's still pretty cool.

In MK7 all those little small jumps were great for strategy. ride ff the side so you get minimum air time, do a trick and get a nice instant speed boost.

Yes I can't wait for HD graphics.

Watch the officialnintendomag/youtube videos, there's some mk8 vids and oh boy the graphics were so amazing my eyes couldn't believe that this is wiiu graphics, I was looking at.

 

One of the best graphics I have seen on all next gen platforms and is best game of the year so far.

No I preordered it from The Game Collection. It was the cheapest on line plus I had enough points to get an additional £1 off.
