Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)

Seriously this is killer app territory. It doesn't seem slow as shit, for starters. If you can take some items out, that's great too.

I'll be honest, I probably won't play it much, but it looks to be a great game, and not in the grading on a curve sense

This game looks incredible. Stoked for it.

The way they re-did the retro tracks is awesome. Moo Moo Meadows looks like a completely new track.

Yeah I didn't think they'd do that, this game may get me to finally buy a Wii U.

I swore off Mario Kart after DS and even I want to buy this. This could be Nintendo's Magnum Kart Opus.

Best Buy is giving out $10 gas credits with preorders. Coupling that with GCU, it's effectively $38 + tax. That's tough to turn down.

Looks like the bundle is coming this way. Also free digital game for registering MK8 before 7/31.

I own all of the good games, and have no interest in Wii Party U. I'm thinking sell a physical copy of NSMBU or Pikmin 3 and subsidize my MK8 cost.

In Anti Grav, if you bump into eachother, both racers get a boost. Casuals confirmed.

I like how Europe gets a choice of eight games, including all four of the choices we get.
