I really love this Link design.

SporeCrawler · Mar 24, 2017

does it have download play?

NahaNago · Mar 24, 2017

Looking good.

_SAKY_ · Mar 24, 2017

Dry Bones! Helllllll yeah. NOW, I'm going to double dip on this one.

EDIT: What?! No kitty cat, rose gold, baby Mario?! /s

I don't. He looks like he spent too much time in the sun and his hair looks like bananas.

Daft Question probably

Players: 1 to 4
Players (local wireless): 2 to 8
Players (online): 2 to 12

How many can play on one Switch when in handheld mode?

4, in Tabletop mode (which is presumably what you meant). It might be a little small, but it'll do splitscreen 4 players.

dan2026 · Mar 24, 2017

Weird seeing Bowser's Not-Kids in this.

Indelible · Mar 24, 2017

Can't wait to dive into this version of the game, loved it on Wii U but I didn't play any of the DLC tracks or characters.

Awesome cheers

Told my work colleagues about it and they're keen to give it a go to see if they want one.

Thanks

Weird I though it was 2 handheld and 4 docked. It's too tiny for 4 people.

God dammit you are right.... Now I cannot unsee the banana hair.

Dagobert Duck · Mar 24, 2017

In the first video with DK he does a 180 degree turn almost on spot...this is new right?

sixteen-bit · Mar 24, 2017

looking forward to the definitive version of this game.

You're in for a treat, some of those DLC tracks are the best in the game.

Jamie OD · Mar 24, 2017

They added the Boo weapon back in? There's going to be broken joycons for sure in my place then. So many times when I lost the perfect koopa shell right when I was about to use it.

Milennia · Mar 24, 2017

never owned a wii u, cant wait to play the shit out of this

I agree that it'll be tiny, but I don't see why/how they'd arbitrarily lock out 4 player split screen while undocked. I believe it'll be just one of those things, where they won't advertise it much because it'll be pretty sucky, but you can do it if you want.

I may be wrong though.

That 3 balloon Squid is mocking me.

I love the 2D art - that style has to make a comeback for a Mario Game sometime

ramparter · Mar 24, 2017

I feel I'll have a great time battling there. Always prefered tight courses on battle.

Robin64 · Mar 24, 2017

You can do 200cc Time Attacks.

Was that possible before? (I really can't remember!)

Jo Shishido's Cheeks · Mar 24, 2017

I'm really excited for this game despite my Wii U being right there.
How quick the Switch boots and loads will make this heavenly.

Skeletos311 · Mar 24, 2017

The background in Battle Course 1 looks awesome. It's SMW in 3D.

FaintDeftone · Mar 24, 2017

Anybody know if all of the characters are unlocked from the start?

jediyoshi · Mar 24, 2017

Any time Nintendo pops out that classic style art, my soul is healed

Smiles and Cries · Mar 24, 2017

looks great!

Zalman · Mar 24, 2017

I'm actually very excited for this despite having played the original so much. Extra content + I can play it on the go.

First time playing Mario Kart 8. Super excited.

Shy Guy looking boss with that classic art style.

My man.

superNESjoe · Mar 24, 2017

Can you play local wireless with multiple people per Switch?

13ruce · Mar 24, 2017

Game still looks fantastic compared to other games today imo.

Its in the baby daisy video too... new mechanic?

Edit: I know I quoted myself, but wanted to make a point

Shiggy · Mar 24, 2017

Still no information on download play? Don't let this be the first Mario Kart with no single-card multiplayer.

Lé Blade Runner · Mar 24, 2017

This is the best Mario Kart, and I can't see Nintendo topping it. I mean - they might get on par with the next installment, but MK8 is perfection. And I'm double-dipping - I mean, Mario Kart 8 on the go? I'm going to rack up thousands of hours within the Switch's lifespan.

borghe · Mar 24, 2017

I have 4 coworkers who are saying this (and the current lineup) is enough to push them to get a Switch.

Hope Nintendo plans to have a ton of consoles on shelves in April and May

As a side note, that's more of them than own a PS4. If things follow through this could be the 2nd most successful Nintendo home console since SNES.

zeitgeist · Mar 24, 2017

Wow, this is actually going to come out in April, isn't it?

Piccoro · Mar 24, 2017

Apparently Deluxe will also have a optional "Noob Mode", which auto prevents the karts from falling off the course.

Yoshi88 · Mar 24, 2017

Mario Kart 8 ist just such a beautiful and gorgeous game. I'm still in love with this games visuals. It's the pinnacle of 20+ years MK track design.

hotcyder · Mar 24, 2017

Whoever at Nintendo they have to do the 2D artwork and manages to retain that standardised SMB3 style needs a raise.

I heard all characters and parts are unlocked from the start. I think Gold Mario might be unlockable. I'm not sure.

Living the Dream · Mar 24, 2017

Mario Kart 8 is phenomenal but the fact that this either isn't free or 50% off for Wii U owners is a crime and I won't be supporting this.

Me too, looks really nice. I originally thought the hair was a bit too yellow but its clearly to match the other blonde characters yellow hair too. If it was toned down to a more dirty blonde colour and thrown into a full Zelda game it'd be an awesome version of Link for sure.

entremet · Mar 24, 2017

Digital is s must for this game. Want full access all time.

Mass Appeal · Mar 24, 2017

Man I am really stoked for Mario kart. Just got a Switch the other day which is my first Nintendo console since the N64 and I am loving it. I primary play 85% it in handheld mode currently and the thing amazes me, its such a cool piece of tech!

Savitar · Mar 24, 2017

Best Koopa Kids are back, piss off Jr.
