Mario Kart 8
#6
Help, I actually want to get a Wii U just watching this game's footage.
I mean, I was debating on visiting arcades regularly (read as "visiting my local Chuck E. Cheese and becoming "that guy") to play and finish Mario Kart Arcade GP2, but this game seems like it totally trumps that - and it's on a home console, too. The only thing that slightly bugs me is how there aren't eleventy-seven items to use in this game and that characters STILL don't hold the items that they roll.

I know a lot of players really don't like that item and I like how the Super Horn item gives them a fitting chance. If I could get my hands on one of those, though, I know who I'll be trying it out on.

That sounds like it's actually harmful to gameplay balance.

The only people it seems like it'd bother are the "serious" Mario Kart players who want to get the best times in Grand Prix but get all their panties in a bunch due to the game's artificial difficulty allowing computer-controlled players to roll blue shells constantly...like, it should have seriously been a single-player mode item only.

Now, with this item those with "defensive" RNGs can roll this item and sit on it, and you'll have online solo VR competing players who are waaaay far ahead and making this game the opposite of fun for everyone else, as you'll have that nolife idiot in first place literally be impossible to usurp when playing online to improve your VR.

Unless the Super Horn has odds of being rolled as often as lightning bolts, I could see this item become annoying and OP pretty fast unless you double-team the person in first...

which I don't think online players are willing to cooperate that easily especially given you're competing against everyone else.

For Baby Rosalina, fans saw her coming for a long time now (as evident by all the fan art of her). Not only is she there to complete the "baby princess set," but it is obvious that Nintendo is trying to continue to cash in on the popularity brought by Baby Peach due to her being an adorable character.

...you mean there's an actual demographic of people who like Baby Peach? Like, people see Baby Peach things and are like "Oh shit I need this game, it's got Baby Peach"? Who is this demographic?!

What actually bothers the hell out of me is that Rosalina's supposed to be like centuries old and now she's...a baby?
How long ago was that in respect to the Mario Galaxy games?



Metal Peach though just looks cool, but I assume she's just a reskin of Peach that handles like a heavyweight character instead of a lightweight (maybe like Wario weight?).
