Let me ask you this.

Despite not caring for the roster. Are you still going to be getting the game? Or at least try to?

Uh, of course. I mean, Luigi, Waluigi, Wario, and normal Rosalina are still in the game.

And those delicious retro tracks.

 

[ndayday]

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?

I'd guess to sell wii u but I don't know. I'm in the same situation as you.

maybe someone would be willing to swap Pikmin 3/NSMBU/WWHD codes for a few club nintendo game codes...

 

[mimgrim]

then there is your answer.

It Mario Kart. As long as the essentials are in there people will be the game no matter what. Which means Nintendo can take the lazy way out without any repercussions. Because people will still buy the game.

Same thing here. What games does Europe get anyway?

So I had no way to get home from school today except by walking. It was pouring down rain, and about a half-hour walk. So I did what any real man does: I let down my hood and let my hair get soaked, and marched down a very busy street will listening to Id~Purpose.

And then at the end of my treacherous journey, I finally open the front door and...my cat bolts out the door and into the rain. So I had to chase him, slipping and dropping my stuff.

He ruined my moment, so now I'm giving him the silent treatment.

Man, that sounds like a real catastrophe.

The four North America is getting plus:

- Game & Wario
- Nintendo Land
- Sonic Lost World
- The Wonderful 101
- Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
- Mario & Sonic at the Sochi Olympic 2014 Winter Games

 

[Superyoshiom]

Man, that sounds like a real catastrophe.

Quite cataclysmic, if you ask me.

 

[TewnLeenk]

It's my graduation present for me! :D

Congratulations! Good luck in the future!

Your cat knows how to ruin a purrfect moment.

Yeah, this is way too unfair for the U.S. D:

 

[Houndstooth]

Sonic Lost World and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games? Man, I want those...

 

[BKupa666]

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.

I don't see how a Mario Kart roster without several key Mario characters and with several unexpected, arguably horrible new characters is that different from a Smash Bros. roster without several key Nintendo characters and with several unexpected, arguably horrible new characters.

Principle-wise, the masses are going to end up lapping up Pink Gold Peach and Baby Rosalina like hotcakes and telling off anyone critical of the roster because of them, just like they will with literally any character added into Smash.

I don't see how a Mario Kart roster without several key Mario characters and with several unexpected, arguably horrible new characters is any worse than a Smash Bros. roster without several key Nintendo characters and with several unexpected, arguably horrible new characters.

The baby characters and metal characters are the equivalent of clones, and the 7 Koopalings is like... well... if a series like Star Fox was given 7 playable reps. 2 compleltely new characters... imagine the uproar if Sakurai invented new, playable characters.

It seems lazy in MK because in Smash, developing and balancing a character is a huge task that would take months, where this is literally a skin and weight class.

Already have Game & Wario and Nintendo Land. The other games are meh to me

I did say earlier that I find this Mario Kart roster to be worse than anything that's going to happen in Smash. Not only are there no big newcomers outside of the Koopalings, but a handful of veterans who should be obvious inclusions for a console Mario Kart missed the cut as well. We're not losing major secondary characters like Wario, Diddy, or Dedede just yet (although if we somehow did, the Smash fanbase would probably defend that as well with "At least we have XYZ characters and the game looks great, so stop complaining!").

In comparing the two, I'm hoping to demonstrate a principle shared between the two franchises; sometimes their rosters are less than satisfactory, and when they are, criticism is kosher. Mario Kart's roster was a hyperbolic basis for comparison that happened to fall into my lap today.

 

[Substitution]

All I want is Dry Bones. That's it.
I missed him in MK7, and I don't want him gone again.

 

[PKNinja95]

Wish they would do a Nintendo Racing game. Like Smash Bros but with racing :>

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Wish they would do a Nintendo Racing game. Like Smash Bros but with racing :>

And everybody is back. Like, huge roster. the Polygons, Wire Frames, Alloys... even just make them alternate costumes by pressing L/R on a character?

 

[Luigi#1]

Wish they would do a Nintendo Racing game. Like Smash Bros but with racing :>

Well.....that'd be like making a Mario fighting game.

 

[SlickWylde]

Wish they would do a Nintendo Racing game. Like Smash Bros but with racing :>

As opposed to Mario Kart, which focuses on Mario chars, I'm guessing? If they stopped making Mario Kart, I'd be down for that, but I wouldn't want to have Mario racing against Mario characters in one game, then Mario racing against Fox in another game haha.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Wish they would do a Nintendo Racing game. Like Smash Bros but with racing :>

You mean like how SEGA usually does theirs?

 

[Substitution]

Well.....that'd be like making a Mario fighting game.

And a Mario fighter is a bad thing how exactly?

I meant like Kirby, Samus, Fox, and other Nintendo characters all in the game. Probably reading this wrong lol but w.e
Kinda like Sega All Stars like what cliff said

 

[Luigi#1]

With Smash Bros already existent there would be no point.

 

[Substitution]

With Smash Bros already existent there would be no point.

Still, it would be awesome though.
I, for one, would be maining Goomba first day.

Despite characters like Waluigi, Daisy, Lakitu, Koopa Troopa, etc. being possibly playable because of this? Clones or otherwise, it'd actually allow a diverse Mario cast in the end. Something SSB will never have available. Never mind delving into guests from the related franchises, or just guests from unrelated franchises(Sonic and Pac-Man due to their respective Mario series crossovers).

 

[IsmaR]

This comes as no shock. It was apparent Rosalina was getting special treatment when she got her own stage (as in a Rosalina stage, not a Galaxy one) in MK7. Meanwhile metal head being in Mario Tennis pretty much "resecured" his place as a staple spin off character (R.I.P. him in Smash)

So, what do you guys think of Ridley being playable now?

That clip of him during the Direct was such a tease even if he said some other boss characters might appear.

Hope still exists, but expect everyone to tell you otherwise.

That's fair enough. Makes sense too.

I don't see why make yet another Mario spin off based off of something that's already popular and doesn't need Mario plastered all over it [well, he kinda already is]. Unless it were in a different style, but even then. I don't find it too necessary.

 

[Radical Bones]

Now that is a game with a bad character lineup. You can kinda play him in Smash...

I wonder if Peach will go Pink Gold when she picks up the metal block in Smash now.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Would rather have a third person 3D Smash Bros game than that.

 

[Moon Monkey]

I like how the new Rainbow Road looks like it's taking place on a Terran aircraft from Starcraft.

 

[YoshiSonic]

So is everyone not hype about the online inputted tournaments you can host?
I thought that was very cool, a full Yoshi tourney.

Hope they do something like this for smash bros.

Because of this, I have high hopes for SSB4s online, online tournaments will rock so hard :3

I don't see any good reason not to do it. He still hasn't done American Football yet, which irks me a bit.

And yeah, I'd say having the ability to have a proper roster while making far more playable than in Smash justifies it fully. It'll be an easy seller, and unlike the bootleg Kart Fighter, wouldn't really suck.

Yeah... I wouldn't mind having a full Yoshi tourney.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Expecting a Yoshi tourney?

Too bad! Waluigi tourney time!

(I'm happy mah Mario Kart main is finally back)
