I'm stuck between Mario Shart and Mario Fart - "Shart" sound nastier, sure, but "Fart" has that nice, juvenile punch. Decisions, decisions...

Seriously, though, it... looks like Mario Kart. Cool if you're a fan, I suppose, but there's nothing here to win over anybody else. I'm sure it'll be good enough, but I can't share everyone else's enthusiasm.

Apparently, some stores only have kiosk and a very short limit with long lines of people. Oh, and the reps also can't install anymore. Good thing I didn't go, because I sure as hell can't justify driving 40 miles to play one game for five minutes. Not a chance in hell. They should have picked the one where I lived, they had about, what three kiosks last I checked. I can't make a proper judgement on Mario Kart 8 if I can't even play a demo. Yeah, it looks cool and I have no doubt it will sell like hotcakes. Oh well. For those who could endure, what was the game like? Will it be better than the Wii version or MK 7?

Let's see, this is what I wanted from the new Mario Kart:
Coins check
MK7 drift system check
Customizable karts check
Bolder tracks check
No wheelies if bikes are returning check
More online community options (no details but still) check
Blue shell on/off option... the demo didn't feature blue shells at least. inconclusive
Post racing vids on Miiverse, I didn't knew I wanted this before I heard about it haha. check
No unbalanced MK Wii items inconclusive
Expanding the battle experience inconclusive
Better chat system in communities inconclusive

Looking good so far.

Any ideas if this would be good to use with the game? I'm getting bored of the GCN controller (plus it may not be supported) and the official wheel just floats in the air.

It looks kind of low though.

Wii U doesn't have a GCN controller connection (so it's defintely not supported). You can only play with the Pro controller thingy, not GCN.

Dry Dry ruins (WII)
Piranah plant slide (3DS)
Melody highway (3DS)

The only ones i recognised.
That is GCN Dry Dry Desert!
And I immediately thought of a return of DS Rainbow Road once I saw anti-gravity. Or maybe we get something like a loop or a whole section up-side-down in the new RR? How can you get a RR track with anti-gravity, gliding and water(space-walking) at the same time?
