But they got in over veteran characters like Diddy Kong, Birdo, and Bowser Jr.
Anyway the free game download is a sweet deal. Nintendo really hopes this game will sell consoles and is doing all they can to make sure it does. I'm confident it will be a hit.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - Sevenstitch - 04-30-2014
Uh not sure if anyone else noticed
but there were two other instances of a "metal" character in that trailer, mario and luigi respectively
It's an item guys
it makes you metal
its a temp shield item of some sort
unless someone can confirm with an actual response from nintendo as to a "Metal Peach" being included as a playable character
im not gonna check, just throwing that out there

Not sure if you found this already, Sevenstitch, but…

You can see her in the last column in the central row.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - TomGuycott - 04-30-2014
Also they called her Pink Gold Peach in the direct.
Which is the stupidest name ever.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - E-Man - 04-30-2014
Exactly! I would rather call her Metal Peach because her official name is too much of a mouthful to say.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - SchAlternate - 04-30-2014
They should've called her Bronze Peach or Platinum Peach. Oh well.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - Sevenstitch - 04-30-2014
Well
thats stupid
I understand baby versions
but reskins are just lazy
two to boot
oh well at least the koopa kids are getting some real face time for a change
RE: Mario Kart 8 - Kriven - 04-30-2014
I've never followed the development of a Mario Kart game, but do they usually reveal the whole roster before release or is there a chance of numerous veterans being unrevealed hidden characters?
RE: Mario Kart 8 - TomGuycott - 04-30-2014
Previous games have had hidden characters (the last one I kept track of was the Wii one though). This roster looks pretty complete, though. Not to say it's impossible for something else to be added, but it does look pretty packed. If they did add more secret characters, I wouldn't be opposed to 5 or 6 more (which would keep the layout symmetrical).
RE: Mario Kart 8 - SchAlternate - 04-30-2014
inb4 Captain Falcon being a super secret character.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - TomGuycott - 04-30-2014
I know that non-Mario characters are a taboo for Mario Kart, but here's my personal top six Nintendo, but non-Mario characters I think would be wonderful racers:
Captain Falcon (Of course)
Mother Brain
The Postman (Legend of Zelda)
Fox McCloud
Gary Oak
Pokey Minch
Yeah, this list is nonsense.
