I just got a Wii U over the weekend, and have been playing Mario Kart 8 a ton since then. I haven't played a Mario Kart game since Mario Kart N64. This game seems a bit more complex now. Haha
How? Its pretty much just tricks thats new, plus some crazy new items.

Pac-Man amiibo outfit is a thing of beauty. For the first time we're getting third party stuff in Mario Kart as well!

Really hope they announce more DLC is on the way E3. Classic Battle Mode plus third party reps and courses would be amazing.

For one example, it seems like sometimes I randomly accelerate. I know when you do a trick whilst jumping there's a slight acceleration, but this is a different thing.
oh do u mean slipstreaming? (where if you follow someone you get a gust of speed as you temporarily avoid wind resistance?) forgot that was new

or if you knock into someone with a mushroom you get a boost
 
Alright, gonna head back in for a bit tomorrow seeing as there's something new to do. I'm sure it'll be fun playing against everyone who was already better than me before I stopped and also never stopped.
Who am I kidding I'll be inventing new swears.

Hmmm...


Bumping other while in anti gravity gives a slight speed boost.
Driving directly behind someone gives you a slip stream speed boost.
Collecting coins/using the coin item gives a slight speed and increase your top speed.
Bumping into others who have triple mushrooms give you a speed boost.

Maybe it's slipstreaming. There's this visual sort of "whoosh" effect.

The last one he played was 64 though.

The game handles completely different from back then. It's hard to quantity "feel" but that's it. And the different types of drifting.

Someone on GameFAQs said it'd be up at 4am CT (5amET?)

True, but I never really thought that it was particularly more complicated than before. A different feel, absolutely.

I'm ready for the DLC to hit at any time, got my gamepad on the ready. In the meantime I guess I'll be playing Valkyria Chronicles.
