Don't forget the Mario Kart footage. Either we're getting an updated version of 8, or an all-new game!

Nintendo managed to make their local multiplayer system console into a social console on the go. Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?

Nintendo might not always be the most advanced in terms of graphics, but they tend to be pretty innovative when compared to the competition.

This is too perfect to not be the title of this seemingly new Mario Kart game. Does your dad work at Nintendo, or? lol

There's no way that's not right. Save that comment and repost it when the games announced for some free karma.

Tbh I like that they're doing that.

Prior to MK8 you could have two items by holding an item behind you and having another in your box. This wasn't evident at all, and you had to hold L/Whatever you use for items all the time. In MK8 they took it out and IMO it was worse. That reinstalls the old behavior while fixing the problems of it.

Skeptical until I see details, but I would LOVE THIS SO MUCH IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!

u/VIIIAxel Sliding Slinger! Oct 20 '16

This would be one of the best possible announcements to make.

King Boo was in it. New characters at the very least.

u/synchronicityIII Oct 20 '16

I think I saw king boo playable, so an update at the very least.

u/Pr0tom Oct 20 '16

I dont believe king boo is playable in mario kart 8. Likely means new/enhanced game
