I'm sure there's gonna be DLC or unlockable characters for Mario Kart 8. That final roster is kinda lame.

But it has Shy Guy and Toadette. Day one purchase confirmed.

Well, hey, let me apply some Smash fanbase logic to Mario Kart. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, yes?

"You guys want Bowser Jr., Diddy, and Birdo in the game? You're so entitled! Stop whining! You already got popular characters with the Koopalings! Let the Mario Kart team exercise their creative vision; it's their game!"

"The Mario Kart team is loaded with geniuses. They added Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach, characters who you didn't know you want, but were really iconic Mario universe characters just the same. Learn to love 'em."

"This game is soooooo beautiful and is literally flawless. How dare you want a better roster?!?!" *goes off to complain about the gameplay, items, modes, music...*
I don't think it's fair to compare WFT, Greninja, et al (which I assume you're doing) to the absolute travesty that is the MK8 roster. You can't possibly compare "out there" and "not expected" choices to simply objectively horrible choices.

Moo Moo Meadows. <3

And where the heck is Kamek? Dude's probably still upset that he was so close to making it in 64, but got scrapped. In fact, he's probably the most long overdue character for me.

The RosalinaX guy may be right all along since we do see that new drifting in the trailer. I'm more afraid for the Smash clones being removed. :(

This. Whoever equates WFT with something as hilariously unoriginal as Baby Rosalina needs to be slapped in the mouth with a live sea bass.

Right, a more fair comparison would be if Metal Mario was playable.

90% of Nintendo fans don't give a darn about Metal Mario or The Baby characters. There are a LOT of Koopalings, but they were due for a playable appearance sooner or latter.

Agreed. Wii Fit Trainer and Greninja still are characters who had some thought put into while making them.

Can't say that for Copper Peach (that's what she looks like, to be honest) and Baby Rosalina.

EDIT: Hmm... maybe I should revert back to my previous avatar to avoid confusion.

No, don't worry about it, you had the avi first, I'll change.

Just slap a metallic skin on Peach.... :facepalm: It hurts so much. I'm not incredibly upset, but the sheer dumbness of re-skinning a character or just making an alternate version confounds me.

At least the Babies require more than just a palette difference. :glare:

I still like Metal Mario, but I think it'd be way better if they used his Dr. Mario Metal version from Dr. Mario 64. Then he looks actually different beyond color. >_>

Given how the latest Mario Golf game has DLC, I think it's likely that Mario Kart 8 will get it too. The Wii U bundle is going to sell like nobody's business and it would be a huge missed opportunity if they didn't.

Just saw the mk8 direct and WOW is it just me or since the tomodachi direct they are very silly in their videos? I like it!

But seriously, I don't know anymore if I should buy it the blue shell is bothering me but there's a new item that CAN destroy it but apparently, it's rare so, do you think it will have the same RNG for anyone?

I wish I had some of the game choice Europe has on the Mario Kart deal as I already have NSMBU, Pikmin 3, Wind Waker HD, and the fact that Wii Party U doesn't really catch my attention. Why does Europe get more than twice the amount of game choices?
