Gamepad profile to be increased, Mario Kart 8 to be released in May, fast start up of Gamepad designed so can play without TV quickly

 

[Tucah]

Yeah that's about what I expected

 

[Lunzio]

I just want this already! My Wii U probably won't have anything new til this game.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Day 1, I hope there's a way to play online without the blue shell haha.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Such drought. Much madness.

 

[gamergirly]

Eeeh, that's pretty far in future.

At least there's a date now!!! x_x

 

[ShadyJ]

My son will love this

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Da drought

 

[Gamerloid]

Day 1!

Day 1, I hope there's a way to play online without the blue shell haha.

I rather Bullet Bill gets kicked out instead of the Blue Shell.

 

[786110]

More like Mario Kart too little too l8

 

[Phire Phox]

Now when is Smash 4 coming!

 

[_underfooter]

Now we know why they had to delay DK.

Nothing for March and April.

 

[Varg]

Disappointed on the release date. Should have been March or April at the latest. I trust that they are making this the best mario kart possible

 

[thekonamicode]

Can't wait to play Mario Kart 8, it looks like so much fun.

 

[kittens]

What. I thought it was confirmed for March.

 

[Spieler Eins]

I knew it. The last year of major/consistent home console support Nintendo saw was 2010. So we're soon reaching a 4 year drought. Congrats, Iwata.
So much for keeping momentum, lol.

 

[KillerIsJed]

As someone who has played it, I'm not really looking forward to it that much. Plays almost identically to the Wii version, which is the worst version in my opinion.

 

[udivision]

What. I thought it was confirmed for March.

It was ambiguously in "Spring"

May is still spring... heh....

 

[foxuzamaki]

Woo!

 

[PixyJunket]

Nice.

This is the first Mario Kart I have considered buying since the SNES original.

 

[IntelliHeath]

It was rumored to be April but we finaly got a confirmation on release date which is May. I'm pleased with the scheduled month. I can't wait to pick it up.

 

[Battle Born]

I was hoping to play this soon. May feels so far away.

 

[dreamfall]

This is brilliant! Rosalina all day!

 

[Strider]

I expected April but this is good too. Day 1.

 

[Andrew.]

Ive played every Kart, and never once actually bought a copy of one. This will be my first.

Mostly because there wont be fuckall to play on the machine post February 21st.

 

[Fey]

hyperventilating

has baby daisy been confirmed yet

 

[Seik]

Day 1.

Pre-ordered since last June. My body is more than ready.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

A bummer nothing in between Tropical freeze and MK8 but luckily I'll be busy till MK8 releases anyways

 

[HawthorneKitty]

hyperventilating

has baby daisy been confirmed yet

Yes, she's in the game.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Not too bad. I would've expected it a little sooner, but it's good enough for me.

Maybe Smash Bros. will come out in the fall or winter.

 

[Deku Tree]

Yay! So what can I play between Feb and May?

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Hell yeah.

 

[Snaku]

Right after finals. Convenient for busy college students that don't have time for games, but uh....sorry everyone else with free time. Buy a PS4 or Xbone. =/

For me is right before finals :'(

 

[soviet prince]

we need a smash launch window now

 

[elektrixx]

If Mario Kart is May, then Smash Bros. is forever away.

 

[Anony]

really, the fuck are we going to do from now till may, i bet smash will prob come out at that time as well

if it does, i'm only getting one of those games
had they some planning, i would get both of them if the release is spaced out

Smash is probably a holiday game.

 

[Andrew.]

Better drop that Bayo Bomb beforehand.

 

[botty]

May....the gods be with Nintendo in these harsh times.

 

[Jaruru]

countdown from 100 days???

 

[The Giant]

Good. Gives me time to play dkc after i come back from holidays in march.

 

[ajjow]

Another mario?

 

[AzaK]

So 3 months minimum without a new Wii U game I want to play. That might be just enough time for me to give up completely and get a PS4.

 

[LaNaranja]

If Mario Kart is May, then Smash Bros. is forever away.

This is what I fear

 

[PotionBleue]

Dev time of approx. 2 years. At E3 2013 they said they had been working on it for about a year.

 

[spliced]

Long drought between DK and MK but there is loads of stuff coming out for other systems in March so multisystem people should be fine.

 

[MikeE21286]

Such drought. Much madness.

Seriously. This is N64 levels of draught.

It's insane.

 

[Alcibiades]

Anyone seriously think Smash is a 2014 game? Development began less than 2 years ago for a project that probably takes a good 3+ years.

I've been saying since it was announced that Mid-2015 (or maybe Q1 next March) is a much more reasonable because a 2-year development cycle just didn't make sense. They had to delay Brawl, which didn't have the HD or a 3DS game in the works. Trying to polish, balance, and perfect that game is probably going to take months once it is "completed."

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

My poor drought heart.
