Mario Kart U (Mario Kart for Wii U! NOT NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT)

MARIO KART U (Tentative Title)
SPECULATIONS
​

Out of boredom, i decided to do a speculation thread for Mario Kart U which i think the title is gonna be when it is released for the Wii U.

RETRO CUP

So, since the last track on the retro cup was SNES Rainbow Road, there is a 50/50 chance that there will be no more SNES tracks (Sorry, no Vanilla Lake or Bowser Castle). So, there will be tracks from:

• Super Mario Kart (Small Chance)
• Mario Kart 64
• Mario Kart: Super circuit (Small chance that it will be deleted)
• Mario Kart Double Dash
• Mario Kart DS
• Mario Kart Wii
• Mario Kart 7

As usual, there will be four cups, continuing from the DS tradition of Retro tracks that brought back nostalgia. PLEASE NOTE that these are PURE speculation and NOT FINAL. Because that there are too many tracks to be brought back, there will be:

• 3 N64
• 1 GBA
• 3 GCN
• 2 DS
• 3 Wii
• 4 3DS

Shell Cup

• DS Figure 8 Circuit
• GCN Dry Dry Desert
• Wii Toad's Factory
• 3DS Music Park/Melody Motorway

Banana Cup

• N64 Royal Raceway
• 3DS Daisy Hills
• DS Shroom Ridge
• GCN Sherbet Land

Leaf Cup

• 3DS Rock Rock Mountain/Alpine Pass
• N64 Toad's Turnpike
• Wii Wario's Gold Mine
• GBA Sunset Wilds (Or Bowser Castle 4....)

Lightining Cup

• Wii Grumble Volcano
• 3DS Wario Shipyard/Wario Galleon
• GCN Mushroom City (Or Bowser Castle)
• N64 Rainbow Road

What do you think?

So this isnt confirmed yet? Just an idea?

It seems cool, I hope the kart customization returns!!!

 

[SodaDog]

Yep, Bellbringergreen. fingers crossed for E3 2013 MK annoucement!

So.. how would it work?

The game would be like normal on the TV and the map would be on the controller thing?
I do like your ideas for the content, but the mechanics interest me a lot more. I feel that if they were to use the controller screen too much, it might make things annoying.

Yeah, like Rayman Origins. The player sees the same thing a lot. The only thing the GamePad player gets is a more intuitive play. (Like all the games offer -_-)

 

[Prof Gallows]

On that subject, I'm going to mention I think the Wii U is still a bad idea.
I really, really hope that they don't ruin all of their good games trying to outfit them for this console.
Even Mario Kart Wii was fun, but only because I could still use my Gamecube controller.

How about using the Gamepad screen as a rear-view mirror?

AC will become a victim DDDDDDDDDDD:

Wii U GamePad... is it a controller or a portable console?

I would like that.

it's just a controller. lol
Won't work unless the console is on, as far as I'm aware.

Yeah, pretty much that. All the work is done by the system, the controller is basically a dead piece of plastic without the system to do the work.

 

[BellGreen]

Hmm, rear mirror does sound nice

 

[Prof Gallows]

Yeah, pretty much that. All the work is done by the system, the controller is basically a dead piece of plastic without the system to do the work.

Thought as much. The controller is what really threw me off with the whole system. Hm..
