What?
No, here's hint from some that actually plays with AI art on fairly regular basis. It struggles with pupils, and this is a very coherent image with constant lighting. you're welcome. Also this picture is at the end credits when you beat the booster cup with trophies in all the races.
The last cup and the one from the previous wave with the bathroom in it are so incredibly forgettable. The tour tracks really wasted slots that could have been better tracks.
thing is: they put 0 effort in the retro tracks, forgot all about the anti-gravity dynamic, underwater...everything. Original game transformed retro tracks in completely new courses, just look how epic they made Cheese Land, now they just copy and paste
I blame Tour, most of the tracks had to be accomodated for that piece of shit game and the DLC tracks suffered from it. It's a miracle we got Bowser's Castle 3 the way we did.
Bowser Castle 3 is gorgeous, but about Tour, I don't think that excuses anything since they could have been given all the time to change its tracks for the better, or at least the others included in the booster pass
Duh. Mario Kart 9 is coming out in 2025. 2024 will be the year of milking the final year of the SWitch for all its worth; Princess Peach Showtime, Splatoon 3 DLC + final season in September, more MK8 bundles (base game + booster course pass), Mario vs Donkey Kong, maybe a few more smaller first parties scattered throughout the year, then later in the year they will drop a presentation for the Switch 2.
Mario Kart 8 is like, the only Wii U game I actually regret buying.
The others I've never minded. But I do genuinely feel kind of ultra cucked by MK8D.
MK9 didn't happen. And instead they started to re-sell the game I already had. Except now they doubled the game's content. Only that I would have to pay for the expansion pass. But to do so I would have to re-purchase the game. Meaning that to get MK8D with the pass I'd have to effectively buy MK8 twice and then pay extra for the pass.
And that just doesn't feel worth it to me. I do like Mario Kart but I am not even that big of a fan. It'd be me paying several times the price of Splatoon 3, but for a game I only play roughly one tenth of the time.
But now my copy of MK8, non-D is just gathering dust.
mk8 is in a number of ways better than dx still >better boost mechanics, faster times >better item balance
i think mk7 is still best overall just due to items alone
also i dont like the world tour courses in DX, really weak
>switch 2 has vr headset >nintendo actually makes VR games worth playing >It's easily emulatable on the steam Deckard
I would finally take the VR pill
the only way i would get into the vr cuck world is if nintendo pulls an apple and mogs whatever theyre doing with their vision pro, but better, cheaper and with the ip powerhouses, it would be an hilarious meltdown/company wars if they decide to compete with the steve job cucks rather than sony of ms
what could possibly be done with Mario Kart 9? Mario kart 8D was peak Mario Kart, full of characters and tracks. What features can be so revolutionary they'd make Mario Kart 8D seem "inferior" to players? Enhanced graphics? That's the bare minimum. Almost all retro tracks have been taken too, the best ones at least and many ruined by the booster pass
>lean more into the Mario series' various games and spin-offs >Story Mode in the same style as Diddy Kong Racing and Crash Team Racing >Mission Mode from Mario Kart DS >Doubles mode/kart type reminiscent to Double Dash >greater kart customization >good item balance, gameplay nuance, and difficulty >almost every character gets a racing suit alt, since sports games have been including spin-off themed outfits lately
Why? I like super mario kart too but I don’t understand why you are being a little homosexual about it. Autism? Personal problems? So many possibilities!
Double Dash is when Mario Kart actually started feeling good to play and control, the previous three games are rough and it’s actually bad to do drifting in those games.
So now that it's over anyone else still disappointed with the roster? They really could have done better. Oh well hoping the next game adds more of the characters people want like King K Rool and Dixie Kong. And better single player modes because Diddy Kong Racing is better than Mario Kart.
The next game is bound to have more Non Mario characters and guest characters from other companies like Sonic and Crash Bandicoot who also have their own spin off racing series.
The Mario Kart title and branding sells more than Smash so it's smarter to continue with Mario Kart while internally including special guest characters. That's how Pac Man got into Mario Kart.
K Rool is more of a Mario character than Link, Villager and Inkling and is more fitting as an inclusion
I would rather have more DKC, Wario and Yoshi characters than crossover slop
neat, now nintendo can resell the game as a complete pack and whenever switch 2 comes out, resell the game as a complete pack.
and nintendo fans will eat that shit twice.
for me is baby rosalina
It's... Too based...!
My legs, I can't...!
die pedo
Holy Cringe FPWP
rosalina always.
/v/eekend thread when?
Is that AI art. It looks really strange especially donkey kong...look at his hand
Nah, his thumb just looks fucked up. It does in game, too.

*consistent light.
imagine if they kept melee alive this long
Mario Kart 8 died twice before being revived. So it's worse than you think.

I still would have preferred tour retro tracks to the city tracks. The pack of proper texturing on any of the buildings is such an eyesore.
Honestly I'd rather they straight port courses than "reimagine them" like they utterly mangled N64 Rainbow Road.
NO FUCKING SUNSET ON SUNSET WILDS
They were actually going to do that if Sakurai, turned down making Brawl
So does this mean that the Switch 2 is finally on the horizon?
Yes
along with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Turbo Edition
Duh. Mario Kart 9 is coming out in 2025. 2024 will be the year of milking the final year of the SWitch for all its worth; Princess Peach Showtime, Splatoon 3 DLC + final season in September, more MK8 bundles (base game + booster course pass), Mario vs Donkey Kong, maybe a few more smaller first parties scattered throughout the year, then later in the year they will drop a presentation for the Switch 2.
this just confirms a new console and a third mario kart 8
Peach cause I was a horny fuck
The new courses sucked. Mario Kart Tour is ass.
>no more content
Now I throw the game away.
When's the next game?
now we can finally go back to playing double dash
Mario Kart 8 is like, the only Wii U game I actually regret buying.
The others I've never minded. But I do genuinely feel kind of ultra cucked by MK8D.

Oh well. MK9 soon™ I hope.
Dont worry anon MK9 is gonna be a thing on the next system's life
mk8 is in a number of ways better than dx still
>better boost mechanics, faster times
>better item balance
i think mk7 is still best overall just due to items alone
also i dont like the world tour courses in DX, really weak
>Who's your favorite character?
Donkey Kong
Wario
King Boo
Petey
Kamek
Mario Kart VR is next
Let's go
holy fucking kino
SwitchVR
>switch 2 has vr headset
>nintendo actually makes VR games worth playing
>It's easily emulatable on the steam Deckard
I would finally take the VR pill
As long as i het metroid prime 4 in vr (along with the remastered trilogy) i'll be happy
the only way i would get into the vr cuck world is if nintendo pulls an apple and mogs whatever theyre doing with their vision pro, but better, cheaper and with the ip powerhouses, it would be an hilarious meltdown/company wars if they decide to compete with the steve job cucks rather than sony of ms
So no one's gonna call this on being AI? Look at yoshis right hand
Yet again not AI hand models were always fucky.

Getting all the characters and costumes wasted on Tour would be a nice start.

Waluigi is not a Wario character stop fucking lumping him in
He is there for Luigi position. The other option is next to Toadette as the created for teammate role.
Go more strange and have SamSpook.
>No Ashley
She's DLC.
imo? Give us options of other forms of racing besides kart racing.
stuff like air racing, wave racing, anything outside of the box
wave race was great too bad it's dead
Here’s your Mario Kart 9 bro
Why is everyone sieg heiling wtf
Mii!
Trans
>using character creators to selfinsert
pits
What is it about mob characters that makes them so hot?
God I wanna have a threesum with them
If you kept playing this series after picrel you should unironically consider suicide.
Why? I like super mario kart too but I don’t understand why you are being a little homosexual about it. Autism? Personal problems? So many possibilities!
the same kid has been a homosexual about super mario kart in all the mk threads lately
>"The worst Mario Kart's actually the best one!"
Never change, Ganker.
I like X7!
Double Dash is when Mario Kart actually started feeling good to play and control, the previous three games are rough and it’s actually bad to do drifting in those games.
double dash felt really arcade-y something that was a bit lost on the wii one.
My man Koops
I've been using Inkling Girl from the very beginning but I want to try Pauline now, and from what I see she has the same stats as Rosalina.
0/10 no wario colosseum
So now that it's over anyone else still disappointed with the roster? They really could have done better. Oh well hoping the next game adds more of the characters people want like King K Rool and Dixie Kong. And better single player modes because Diddy Kong Racing is better than Mario Kart.
They are never going to add King K Rool. Stop trying to add Non Mario characters.
The next game is bound to have more Non Mario characters and guest characters from other companies like Sonic and Crash Bandicoot who also have their own spin off racing series.
why stop there
just make it super smash kart
The Mario Kart title and branding sells more than Smash so it's smarter to continue with Mario Kart while internally including special guest characters. That's how Pac Man got into Mario Kart.
>Character that is only in the Namco-produced arcade games that Nintendo doesn't consider canon
K Rool is more of a Mario character than Link, Villager and Inkling and is more fitting as an inclusion
I would rather have more DKC, Wario and Yoshi characters than crossover slop
You can't stop the crossover slop.
My main man, King Boo.
i'm a yoshi tryhard
I really like Kamek and I think he looks like a little cake or something when you see him in the kart. That's all I have to say. Thank you.
It took more than 20 years, but grandpa turtle got a driver's license
neat, now nintendo can resell the game as a complete pack and whenever switch 2 comes out, resell the game as a complete pack.
and nintendo fans will eat that shit twice.
MARIO KART 9 PLEASE BE MORE INTERESTING
friendly reminder the best Mario Kart course is Neo Bowser City
This picture confirms Dry Bowser and Peachette are their own unique characters now because none of the other variants are there.
