I'm excited for it, I'll get it eventually. Doubtful I'll buy it day 1 @ what I'm guessing is a $60 price tag - but I bet the price will fall fast. I'll probably pick it up sometime in 2015.
Yeah I'm either getting it mid-2015, or see if it gets a good black friday sale. I want to support third parties, but they make it so damn hard.

I'm buying the characters I like because they look cool. Probably won't use them after the first time for the lolz.

Nice review. I disagree with a few points however. I do find the battle mode to be a serious letdown, not refreshing, as the tracks are too large and you end up just driving aimlessly. To me it makes battle mode unplayable. I also have a few other complaints such as no online in game voicechat, too many alts of the same character (mario, baby mario, metal mario, ect) instead of more variety of characters, and no special unlockables to give you incentives to gold cup higher difficulties.
However, I still love the game. I personally gave it a solid 4/5 stars.
I answered more in-depth about the battle mode above. While I'm not saying that you cannot disagree, I am mentioning that if you're driving around aimlessly, you might need to consider how you're handling the "new" Battle Mode. Chances are, people are bunched up in an area duking it out like I've seen, while a few others will use the roads to either joust or get away from the action and do a U-turn to come back once they have an item. It's actually quite a serviceable mode once you change your approach!
As for in-game voicechat, I was originally going to include that as a sarcastic thing on my "why, why, why" stuff, but truth be told, I can tell you that it's only going to be a "F--- THIS" and "You B----" and "Son of a B----", or what boils down to a varied yet rather limited stream of obscenities. Any long-time Mario Kart player knows how frustrating it is, and with the online in Wii and MK7, it only became more frustrating because there were humans on the other end. Voicechat will not be filled with conversation of any worth, lmao 
FYI, getting gold cups on higher difficulties (150cc, mirror) gives you the gold kart...
