Worst thing to happen to the Mario franchise ever since Galaxy 3 not being made.
Well, if it means anything, along with the DLC there'll be an update...
FINALLY I get to see how close I am to the Gold Glider!
That award goes to Pink Gold Peach.
This is the kind of stuff that should already should have already been in the game.
Diddy or riot.
Mario Kart is not nearly as busy as Hyrule "literal army on screen in nearly every frame" warriors.
Impossible without a severe resolution/FPS reduction, that's two full frame buffers that have to be created. It's harder than split screen and/or making the Gamepad a second screen or mirror the TV.
Resolution (and possibly performance) drops are how it's happening in Hyrule Warriors.
'rolls eyes'
The resolution already goes down in MK8 split-screen, and the frames of animation on online opponents are cut. So I see no reason not to go that extra mile.
No it doesn't, native 720p frame buffer. That maintains, only thing that goes down is some effects, etc., and the FPS being halved/some slow down with 3/4 players.
The split screen resolution is lower than the normal, it's very noticeable. Everything looks comparatively blurrier and the characters look more jagged.No it doesn't, native 720p frame buffer.

You're comparing split screens to frame buffers. 1280x720 and 854x480 in-engine frame buffers being put out at the same time would be murder on the Wii U hardware for this game.
The game can't handle AA at 60 FPS. 60 FPS game are naturally easier on the hardware, but the lack of any AA, which is unique among Nintendo first-party efforts on Wii U, implies that there is very little overhead.
Also, Monster Hunter looks terrible, the only reason it's 30 FPS with drops is because it renders at 1920x1080. MK8 is 1280x720.
You have no points, and no idea what you're talking about!
And you just sent me an article with absolutely no provided proof on most of it's points.
Also, that screenshot of 3D World is pre-release, it's not reflective of the final product. The actual game has no AA.
Me too, the second screen is pretty pointless in this game if you do Split Screen, it might as well not even be there. Hopefully it's added in a later update
I'm probably guessing that it'll be like Mario Kart 7's win/loss system; you earn 1 win for each racer you've beaten, and 1 loss for each player who finished before you.
Can't really see why they aren't in the game already, tbh...
I think we can trust Chadderz and Mr. Bean.
Straight from MrBean35000VR, a well known Mario Kart Wii hacker and the creator of the CTGP (Or Custom Track Grand Prix), adding many more courses to Mario Kart Wii. He has also created a texture hack for Mario Kart 8, and has done some other stuff revolving around Mario Kart 8's unused stages (One called "The Void")Okiedokie, this all spread around faster than we thought it would considering it was posted in like... two Skype groups total. I suppose clarification is in order!
These icons are intended to be used for DLC; or at least, are placeholders for images that may eventually be used. Their filenames from left to right in the image are:
ym_CupIconDLC_00_130x130^h.bflim
ym_CupIconDLC_01_130x130^h.bflim
ym_CupIconDLC_02_130x130^h.bflim
ym_CupIconDLC_03_130x130^h.bflim
The "DLC" in each name can't really be mistaken. We haven't located the 3D versions that the menus use; but we haven't located any of the 3D cup icons in the first place, so there's no saying they don't exist. Mind you, in their current form, these icons are missing some files that complete cups have, namely some textures used for effects and similar. When we had the game render these, we had to use the mushroom/flower cup's effects, which might have caused small drawing errors. The other files might be downloaded someday if these cup icons are to be used for something!
Also supporting the DLC theory is that the valid track IDs in MK8 start at 0x10 and run to 0x2F. The ones before that, 0x00 - 0x0F are labelled as Reserved00 - Reserved15, exactly 16 slots that are apparently... "reserved". What's 4 x 4, I wonder? And what are they reserved for?
Furthermore, there are 16 full size graphics of 12 Marios on the start line of Mario Circuit, with the word "SAMPLE" plastered across. All of these images are labelled "DLC" as well and are probably placeholders that may one day be replaced with brand new track images.
Of course, we won't know for sure until Nintendo says something.
Also, interesting discoveries, there might be plans for a Shy Guy outfit for Mii, and a Yoshi outfit for Mii. There are placeholder files for those on the disc as well, but when we tried to load them, we merely got a red suited Mii. Very unfortunate. Still might be an indicator of things to come, though!
