Will it be in 1080p? 8 looked gorgeous but the jaggies kinda sucked.



Edit: okay its 1080

(Sorry, the site is tanking a little bit, so the merge didn't go through properly and the lock did!)

 

[jj984jj]

I have to say these games are getting spread out in a pretty typical Nintendo fashion. I do wonder if they ever really could have launched in 2016.

[Parapraxis]

I'm gonna have to offload my copy of the Wii U version if I'm gonna get the Switch version.

They should patch the WiiU version...fans have asked for these features from day one of MK8 launch, it's a slap in the face.

 

[hatchx]

1080p sounds nice.

New video! Features the Urchin Underpass battle stage and Inklings

Nice! The battle mode looks good. Nintendo should have featured or at least announced this during the stream.

 

[BowieZ]

No new tracks, not at launch...

Is this a new full price game?

:-/

 

[Big Nikus]

wtf still no Diddy ?
Don't care about Battle Mode. Give me my KONG

 

[Sponge]

That Splatoon stage looks great!

 

[SmackAttack]

My boy Dry Bones is back!

 

[Blues1990]

Okay, Dry Bones is coming back. One of my friends (who was bummed that Koopa was absent in the Wii U version) is going to be pretty happy about it.

 

[MulderYuffie]

April ain't bad

Boxart:

Buying for the box art alone.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

WHY WOULDNT THEY MENTION RHIS GAME IN THE CONFERENCE????

What a fucking weird event, holy shit!

 

[Diprosalic]

no new racing tracks.

leakers really missed the mark on SW.

 

[Giolon]

Guess I'm re-buying Mario Kart 8.

 

[Illucio]

Dry Bones back?

Oh and Arenas are definitely back.

Okay Nintendo I'll buy the new one, just don't be full price kay?

 

[Luminaire]

Dry Bones back?

Oh and Arenas are definitely back.

Okay Nintendo I'll buy the new one, just don't be full price kay?

You might wanna sit down...

5,980 yen is ~ 52 USD.

 

[Princess Viola]

Gonna double-dip just for the Inklings.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Wait, INKLINGS are in this??? Why wasn't this in the conference?

 

[pikablu]

Where is diddy kong?

 

[Plinko]

no new racing tracks.

leakers really missed the mark on SW.

Yeah Emily was probably wrong on this one :/

 

[phanphare]

the inklings woomy

yes

 

[Pophead]

ugh if there's actually no new tracks

 

[Kaelan]

WHY WOULDNT THEY MENTION RHIS GAME IN THE CONFERENCE????

What a fucking weird event, holy shit!

Probably because they're ashamed they can't get a port out at launch

 

[Vital Tundra]

Petey nooooo!

 

[Mysterious]

Wait... there's no new tracks?!

 

[Diprosalic]

Yeah Emily was probably wrong on this one :/

Laura dismissed the real 4chan leak too.
they sucked at SW, dates and price.

HW was bang on.

 

[Wolfgang Jr]

Dry Bones back?

Oh and Arenas are definitely back.

Okay Nintendo I'll buy the new one, just don't be full price kay?

Think you'll find they're seriously light on the 'battle arenas' quantity.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Are they gonna nickel and dime me for the upgrade too? This fucking reveal has been a train wreck.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Wait, INKLINGS are in this??? Why wasn't this in the conference?

That's just how Nintendo has done things.

Alot of stuff gets announced via the press site after the actual conference.

 

[deleted]

On the one hand - battle mode <3
On the other hand - no block fort

On the one hand - new drivers
On the other hand - non I care for

On the one hand - no new tracks
On the other hand - feather!!!

FEATHER!!! I'm so in!

 

[Berordn]

Wait, INKLINGS are in this??? Why wasn't this in the conference?

Outside of them and the other new characters plus their vehicles, battle mode is the only other addition from the PR.

Not much to show off that they didn't during the segments. It's just a quick enhanced port to pad out the early library.

 

[alfredofroylan]

Wait... there's no new tracks?!

Inkling track on the trailer

 

[rj118]

The release date is April 28, 2017. It's hidden behind the boxart on this page: http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/mario-kart-8-deluxe-switch

 

[rhandino]

Playable Inkling? Please, someone check if Japan is OK

 

[suaveric]

I'm kinda surprised that they only added new battle tracks. The time between Wii U's 8 release and this is almost 3 years, they usually create a brand new Mario Kart in that amount of time.

 

[Neoxon]

Boxart:

Pretty box art.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Probably because they're ashamed they can't get a port out at launch

But make way for Suda 51 and the Yakuza guy to talk and don't show anything!

 

[Berordn]

Inkling track on the trailer

It looks to be a battle arena, not a racetrack. PR wording seems to agree.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

On the other hand - non I care for

Splatoon track isn't new?
Edit: Apparently it's a battle track.

 

[Gvitor]

No diddy, this means the dream IS ALIVE

Spoiler

...right guys?

 

[Ryce]

Edit: Never mind.

 

[Fantastical]

But make way for Suda 51 and the Yakuza guy to talk and don't show anything!

Hey give Suda a break he had a nice drawing!

 

[Plinko]

THERE ARE NEW TRACKS. Stop freaking out.

Thone are clearly referring to Battle Mode.

 

[BTM]

Yo, my boy Dry Bones. We back

 

[chaosblade]

Only new tracks looked like they were for battle mode, not standard races. If that's the case I'll be passing, I don't care for battle mode and don't care about the additional characters.

 

[Neoxon]

Edit: Never mind.

Aren't those battle tracks?
EDIT: Yup
