Recent Mario Kart games have offered a mixture of brand new and classic tracks, and Mario Kart 8 will continue that tradition. In the game’s first trailer, we saw three classic tracks (Piranha Plant Slide and Music Park from Mario Kart 7, and Dry Dry Desert from Mario Kart Double Dash!!) re-imagined in HD. How do they hold up to the originals? GameXplain has put together a comparison video showing off the two versions of each track side by side, and you can catch it after the jump!
Ich hoffe echt, dass nicht wie schon bei MK7 wieder grösstenteils neue Tracks aus MK7 und MK Wii recycelt werden, sondern dass endlich auch mal wieder SNES und vor allem GBA-Kurse zum Zuge kommen.
Die haben nur das falsche Wüstenthema zum Vergleich genommen... Im MK8-Trailer wurde Staubtrockene Ruinen von der Wii gezeigt und nicht die Staubtrockene Wüste von Double Dash...
Satoru Iwata has completed his investor briefing presentation, and one detail that's thankfully beyond the dangers of translation errors is that Mario Kart 8 is set to arrive in May — that window is for the worldwide market.
The importance of the release for Wii U is self-evident, as just today both Mario Kart 7 and — incredibly — Mario Kart Wii have passed one million sales between 1st April and 31st December 2013, adding to their sizeable lifetime figures. Just minutes before Iwata-san's presentation the latest Nintendo release list had the kart-racer down for "Spring", before the Nintendo President opted to confirm May as the month for a worldwide roll-out.
