90%

 

- The game has 30 characters

- You buy kart parts using coins you earn from races (nope, no microtransactions yet on this one)

- The graphics and music really are as impressive as the hype suggests

- The game really proves Wii U's power at 60 FPS

- When you do go past 2 players, framerat dips to 30 FPS, but still looks good

- Battle Mode has no arenas. Instead, everyone plays on modified regular tracks.

- There may be disagreement on which was done better, but everyone seems to agree both new and old tracks are fantastic.

- If there is any complaint, it is that the blue shells are too common. One guy got hit by them four times in one race

- Online play could not be tested in time for this review.

isn't this breaking embargo?

Nice. The bullet points do a nice job of giving me an idea at why they arrived at the score they did... Without me having to excersize my god awful attempt at reading duetch.... (Im pretty sure all I remember/recognize now is train station, bathroom, and beer hall.)

Its always nice to see a review where the score doesnt clash with the text.

[Zinix]

sure

[MatrixChicken]

I was really hoping for 4-player at 60fps, but I can live without it.

 

BRING ON THE HYPE

"When you do go past 2 players, framerat dips to 30 FPS, but still looks good"

 

Does that mean splitscreen 2 player or when you overtake a few players the framerate dips?

Its talking about when you exceed 2 players on split screen, so 3 or four player local splitscreen.

[Scumbag]

Got worried for a second, 2 player splitscreen at 60fps is still impressive.

worst game ever confirmed 2/10 would not play

 

 

I hope they will patch stuff like that becaues I effing  HATE blue shells and IMO  they should be removed from the series entirely but they won't do that anyway. 

 

Other than that the character roster is still dissapointing as hell and also no dedicated battle courses. Pretty lazy, but  most likely still a 90% game anyway.

Or if they just gave the option for skilled and strategic players to counter the blue shell....

Like an item, that, if used a certain way, could instead of knocking out players, could be used to avoid being hit by blue shells....


If only that was a thing....

30 playable characters seems off, unless they've already spoiled every character in the game, there's probably more

that means 5 babies, 7 kooperlings and no diddy kong, Bowser Jr or boo. That would make me sad.

Nope that's all, all screen and previewers say the same. Also no sign of dlc

Hear that XBO? LOLS!

[Mahmoodinho98]

cool i hoped that it would get a 100  but am out of luck

[Blake]

So we've seen all the characters. I can't help but be disappointed by this, the roster is pretty bad this time around. I'll probably just main Lakitu just like in 7.

 

I will miss the dedicated battle arenas as well, those were a lot of fun in MKWii.

Actually, the battle areas WILL BE in Mario Kart 8.  So there's absolutely nothing to worry or cry about it.

the current roster is 5x6 so there is 30 players. This MK has a terrable roaster though...

We should rarely see more than 2 blue shells in a online game, anything more is to much.

 

Single player should also be capped. multyplayer should have a cap on normal, if there is a frantic or similar setting then it shouldnt be capped.

 

i dont have a issue witht he blueshell but i do have a issue with its frequency

I doubt you will commonly see this in first place. my best guess is getting it in 2nd/3rd then passing into 1st.

Dude you too know that players in the first position won't get that item. They just won't. All they get is bananas. 

 

Mushrooms have worked for years too, but leading players only get the crap items.

Source please. I've only seen  regular courses.

They've already revealed every character. They said there were 30 characters, and they revealed 30 of them.  It's hugely dissapointing.
