They really should just put Captain Falcon in this. There's two F-Zero levels, give the fans what they want!

 

[OricWindstar]

Andre wouldn't last 2 seconds if he ever played on GAFcc.

Haha, to be fair, we're all going to suck at 200cc first day.

 

[explodet]

When the lightning hit on the Big Blue track and the music got all garbled, I lost it.

And why does Lakitu even bother to go offscreen in Baby Park, he might as well just float in place and flip a scorecard to count the laps. Seven? Yikes.

 

[PreyingShark]

Haha, to be fair, we're all going to suck at 200cc first day.

I dunno, 200cc doesn't look fast at all to me and I already know how to brakedrift when needed.

I think I'll just be "pretty bad" and not quite into "sucks" territory. lol

 

[Colombo]

Really happy that Nintendo showed some more F-Zero love. Now I wish they had done one more track and created an F-Zero Cup!

 

[Fandangox]

Soon...

holy shit they added "FINAL LAP" from F-Zero X on Big Blue.


This is both awesome and sad

Yet they didn't add the proper race countdown sounds (when the MK8 countdown plays after the F-Zero opening it always throws me off) or change the item sound effects to erm, the F-Zero X bingo?

Also it would have been amusing to have the unused pfirst place voice from F-Zero GX if you passed in first just to round off the franchise (though technically "goaaallll" from F-Zero Climax could have also done that).

I know I've said I'm not fan of Baby Park returning but looking at that Polygon video, I can't help but think this track will be stupidly fun with 200cc even if you get your ass kicked hard.
Music going faster and faster each lap makes things feel more chaotic lol

 

[SmithnCo]

It's weird to hear Isabelle's AC gibberish speak outside the context of AC, still cute though.

I'm glad they went with antigravity. Need to make the bumps as stupid as possible.

Mother of god.
They all look so good.
Ribbon Road in particular is impressive!

 

[blame space]

can't wait to play toad's turnpike at 200cc 😃

 

[GDGF]

Here's a Captain Falcon Mii to hold you over

I use this guy all the time.

I don't think they need to add all of that, but at this point the lack of Proper Robotic X countdown in Big Blue did seem kind of jarring.

Now only slightly less boring!

He doesn't need the helmet given that there's a costume.

 

[SweetDonuts]

Just beautiful, can't wait to play again.

lol, that track is pretty meh

 

[SmithnCo]

That's if you can somehow find the amiibo

 

[Davey Cakes]

Heh. I'm surprised I have one. Never opening it though, so no costume.

 

[PadWarrior]

Yoshi circuit at 200cc is gonna be a nightmare

Baby Park does something that is very different than every other track in the game (and Excite Bike stadium doesn't replicate it at all one bit). Once you get to 48 tracks in the game, it's welcome to the game, IMHO.

 

[Chaos17]

Agree

 

[KooopaKid]

It's beautiful. Soon. And one month later, another Nintendo neo classic.

 

[EulaCapra]

Isabelle is too much adorable.

Water currents in tracks always makes them better. And I want to live in that Ribbon Road world and amusement Baby Park.

 

[Jpop]

Man.. This game, this game! Hype!

About not to use those breaks though, living that reckless life.

 

[Burning Justice]

I wonder what happens when you hit a subway with a star when someone's on top of it. I'd like to see that.

 

[trutrutru]

Still extremely salty at how they gimped the battle mode. They should have DLC for that.

would have preferred that this 200cc mode to be honest. Hopefully later this year

 

[Frankenstrat]

seems you really have to use the brake button now.

Nope, just gonna learn inside drift.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Me too but the cool thing about 200cc is that literally no one expected it.

 

[eso76]

This game looks absolutely incredible.
Lighting in amazing, ribbon road looks like something out of toy story. Shame for the IQ, but other than that its legit one of the best looking racers available on any platform ATM.

 

[Azure J]

Looking forward to the easy victories against your sport bike.

Considering that the large majority of my play in GAFcc is "do the absolute craziest anti-meta maneuver whenever possible", abuse close quarter karts for boosts, and a generous splash of "fuck everyone" in item use, I think I'm good enough for mid level 200cc.

 

[ffdgh]

Lol at baby park's theme getting faster after every lap. Nice touch.

I wonder if the various outlets had to draw straws on which tracks they could cover or is it a case of "might as well cover a track nobody else has as that will get the most coverage".

This looks like it's from Blade Runner. So good.

 

[blame space]

i forget, was neo bowser city originally from MKDS or 7?

 

[RoadHazard]

See, we don't need no F-Zero! Mario Kart is F-Zero now!



(This is pretty cool though. Just makes me a bit sad.)

 

[GWX]

7.

 

[blame space]

such a great track!

 

[Not75Drops]

Only ones left to find are Cheese Land and Animal Crossing, though AC has 4 styles so I'm not sure if they were all shown off at the event.

 

[codhand]

seems you really have to use the brake button now.

then it doesnt seem like mario kart

 

[FunkyDealer]

What the game needs now, apart from battle mode, is a letting us select the number of laps for each race in VS.

Baby Park, 200cc, 50 laps.

It shouldn't be too hard to implement.

 

[Blues1990]

Is the MK8 Big Blue stage based off of a particular version of the F-Zero track, or is it only Big Blue by name?

 

[PreyingShark]

Name, music, and the general theme of being blue with lots of water everywhere, though the water usually isn't ion the track itself like you see here at some parts.

I hate to be that guy but characters don't seem to have that wet effect they usually have after leaving underwater sections... what the hell?
I really hope I can't see it due to video compression

 

[Icyflamez96]

True. I'd imagine that'd take less work/time than adding a more proper battle mode too so eh

You can! Just decorate your room and be sure to get a Yarn Yoshi amiibo.

 

[SmithnCo]

Isabelle's bike with the AC 3DS pattern is adorable

They need to bring in battle arenas at 200CC speed.

Underwater sections... in Neo Bowser City?
