Nintendo has officially announced Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. Set to arrive in Spring 2014, the Mario Kart 8 will introduce a new hover kart mechanic that's automatically activated at certain points in new stages (much like the glider and propeller mechanics in Mario Kart 7).

Mario Kart 8 will also bring back the bikes originally seen in Mario Kart Wii, in addition to standard karts.

Characters confirmed thus far in Mario Kart 8 include Mario, Toadette, Daisy, Koopa Troopa, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Luigi, Waluigi, and Peach. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata said Mario Kart 8 will include the “best collection of modes yet” for online play, and that players will be able to interact with one another worldwide via Miiverse.

Mario Kart 8 dev cites F-Zero as influence, is hopeful for series’ return

 

Mario Kart 8 developers Hideki Konno and Kosuke Yabuki have shed light on how the game was influenced by F-Zero in a new interview, and have stressed that they’d like to see the anti-grav racing series return one day.

 

Speaking to French site Gamekult, Yabuki cited F-Zero and Super Mario Galaxy as sources for Mario Kart 8′s new anti-grav mechanics.

He also explained why we haven’t see a new F-Zero announced for Wii U yet, “It has always been a Mario Kart per console, so we wanted to get a new one to have more people interested by our new system. But I also hope that there will be an F-Zero.”

Konno added that he game has been in development for little over a year, and that the team is looking at remote play on the Wii U GamePad, but had nothing further to share at the time. There will also be more kart customisation over Mario Kart 7, and that track sizes will be larger than the last handheld offering.

I loved Mario Kart 7 for it's innovation & since it & pokemon i am interested in 3ds, but right now if kart racing is concerned on this gen, Sonic ASRT has won it for me, if not for me being a hardcore bandicoot about CTR i would say SASRT is the best karting game ever made

Hope this F-Zero stuff doesn't turn out gimmicky, still i am excited, but i was hoping for it being on 3DS as well, nintendo need to stop making only one mario kart game on their hardware

Luigi Death Stare In 'Mario Kart 8' Goes Viral

 

 

 

Videos and photos of Luigi’s threatening glare have been popping up all over the Internet this week, and we’ve compiled some of our favorites. You may change your mind about the seemingly nice-guy plumber from Brooklyn. Could be he’s grown tired of living in brother Mario’s shadow

I played few online races and there was no lag whatsoever. There was an option to find players locally or global, I chose local and it put me in a lobby with all the players from US. I'll try the global option tomorrow to see if its same or not.
