I don't know how many of us have a Wii U but I do know all of us have played Mario Kart. If you are alive you've played it. Anyway this one looks like another link in the long chain of Mario Karts. It looks good in HD though. I'm sure it will be as fun as the rest of them. Anyway check out the poll. What is your favorite in the series?

I'm a sucker for old-school... Super Mario Kart all the way

Newer Mario Kart games always have old levels

True. It only felt like after Mario Kart 64 they began to add gimmicks that just felt forced and didn't really add anything substantial.
Two characters on a single Kart or motor bikes is neat but the series as a whole seems to be veering off into craziness and while it's fun, when does is stop becoming a Kart racing game and is just a whatchamacallit racing game? Why wouldn't they just do it like Smash Bros. with more and more characters to unlock and leave the gimmicks out?
IMO Mario Kart 64 hit that perfect balance between Mario themed chaos and real kart racing.

I get the feeling everyone is writing off Mario Kart 8 before it comes out, I think it will be really fun. Mario Kart Wii was a blast, I voted for the N64 Mario Kart too but its more for nostalgia reasons. It is getting harder and harder to have N64 games at the top of any list. Just my honest opinion.

I didn't play an awful lot of Mario Kart 64, and when I DID play it, I was heartbroken that there was no Koopa Troopa... He is by far my favourite character lol

That's not a bad thing. When you think about it, there are only a few titles on the N64 that can stand the test of time if only because the series as a whole has barely changed in the last 15 years.

Here is a cool little comparison video showing Rainbow Road from the N64 and Wii U versions. It's amazing, seeing how far this series has come from a visual standpoint. Always a fun time with friends and Mario Kart.

Did somebody say Rainbow Road?
In all seriousness, I've never been a big Mario Kart fan. I've only ever played 64 and Double Dash on the GC.

Well there is a good chance I will be getting a code to register for Mario Kart 8 even though I don't have a Wii U and won't be buying the game so at some point I will have a code to one of the NA games. I will give said code away here on Goldenedge once I get it.
