I apologize if there's a thread for this already, but I searched and couldn't find any.
Today marks only one more month until the next generation of Mario Karting, Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U! And Nintendo surprised us big time with a Nintendo Direct!
There were a bunch of things announced today, like voice chat, new characters, and much more!
Here's the big list of things announced today:
-Voice Chat: chat through text or voice using the Wii U GamePad microphone. Only for friend rooms.
-New characters: A grand total of 30 characters will be in Mario Kart 8. Today, Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach were announced. Miis will also be playable again.
-New tracks were shown off.
-Online multiplayer detailed. You can host tournaments, race worldwide, regional, or with friends. There'll also be leaderboards for tournaments.
-A Mario Kart 8 Wii U Deluxe set will launch alongside the game for $329.99, and it includes everything in the Wii U deluxe plus a copy of Mario Kart 8, a red steering wheel, and red Mario Wii remote Plus.
-Register Mario Kart 8 (retail or digital version) on Club Nintendo between May 30th and July 31st and get a download code to download New Super Mario Bros. U, The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Pikmin 3, or Wii Party U (only 1 of them) for FREE.
-Mario Kart TV lets players upload videos of races in 30, 45, or 60 second form to Miiverse and YouTube.
-New items: Crazy 8 surrounds the player with 8 items at once, Super Horn unleashes a blast that can stop any item (even blue shells!) and blow other nearby drivers away.
