Do it
I was expecting it to be 2-3 months after launch too so after Mario gets finished you can go play Mario kart

I would like it if they could expand Mii Costume feature with more choices of Amiibo, like Ryu, Pit and Cloud.

mario kart 8 is one of the best games ever. launching with a definitive edition would be huge.

That'd be great. I rather enjoyed Mario Kart 8's single player because the AI was substantially better than previous games in ways that felt natural, but also because of how much of a change the driving model was. It wasn't a game I felt entirely familiar with and in control with like Mario Kart 7, I had to remaster the mechanics.
Since this seems to share a lot in common with MK8, Grand Prix mode may well be more boring and less compelling. A set of fun missions in new, existing and specially made environments would be cool.

Cutting him from the series was a huge mistake
Also the OG guest character before your fancy Links and Villagers

Day one.
Mario Kart 8 is by far the most played game in my household of all time. It's phenomenal. Everybody enjoys it.

BUT WHAT ABOUT MISSION MODE?!
Battle mode is great and all, but that was the real hotness

I really hope this makes launch along with Splatoon. I know so many people who have played Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 on my Wii U who would see Switch and say "wait, it plays those games?! I want!"

I'll buy it if the new battle mode is actually good.
Putting Diddy Kong in was the mistake.

I hope the battle mode has a ton of options. I want to see the bob-bomb mode from Double Dash return, as well as some of that game's battle stages. Battling on a giant Gamecube was boss.

I'll think about it when an actual metroid is announced. Given how long Zelda has taken I'm not holding my breath.
I kinda wish Nintendo wouldn't expand the Mario Kart roster beyond the Mario characters (limited Donkey Kong selections would be okay at this point, as that precedent was set originally).
There are plenty of mario characters still to choose from (even more if they wanted to expand into Mario 2 beyond Shy Guy) without resorting to "villager" or "link".
Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I think that concept should be left to Smash.

Lame. I'd rather that they just give it an extra 12 to 18 months of dev time and give us a proper Mario Kart 9 instead.
Speaking of, any Nintendo fan sites/youtube channels to follow? I have gamexplain right now and that's it. I used to be a big visitor to GoNintendo.
I did have Josh's channel (TheBitBlock) subscribed to as well and would watch a lot of his videos, but he recently came out as a Trump supporter (and not just someone who voted for Trump, but cool with garbage conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones), so I had to unsubscribe.

Hopefully they are also fixing Team Races by removing friendly fire or adding a toggle.
Yeah, would be awesome if they could come up with new things to make the game even more interesting.
Dry Bones driving the Tank in MK DS was what I went with. So good.

Yeah Gamexplain is probably my favorite. Also no one should support TheBitBlock. After he attacked that other youtuber(Lamar Wilson i think) completely out of left field and he has proven himself to be a complete dumpster fire of a person.

Oh god he supports Trump...that explains somethings now.
Anyways Nintendo Life is a good channel to subscribe too.
The only times that I watch is videos are when he does discussions with RogersBase.

You're right! Save him for Diddy Kong Racing 2. Love the way you think.

That guy is a disease, lol. I remember his bitching about the November 2015 Direct on Twitter and Cloud being in Smash.
Here is what they should do
Call it Mario Kart Switch
Switch name comes from the Gameplay mechanic of Switching items. It also allows Nintendo to market this as a new Mario Kart and not a port.
As for content
To ensure that this game feels fresh they should have 4 New cups. And of course a proper Battle Mode. It would also be a bonus to have a mission mode similar to DS. The 4 New cups would mean we would get 16 new tracks.
As for old content from Mario Kart 8. They should only have the DLC as the only old content at launch so the game feels new from the get go. Basically 4 cups (16 tracks) worth of old content. 4 New cups and 4 old cups is the perfect balance. Nintendo should then announce all the remaining content from Mario Kart 8 will come as free DLC down the line.

You just made my mind take a trip! How rad would it be if we could get a reworked Diddy Kong Racing track complete with DKR orquestrated music for MK8 on Switch?
With Rare being owned by Microsoft is this something Nintendo could realistically pull off or would their hands be tied by red tape? Its not clear to me who owns the rights to this game (or what parts of the game).

There have been rumors about a new DKR floating around.
If they wanted to, I could see Nintendo making it and filling the cast with pre-existing Kong family members and/or new characters altogether to replace all the Rare characters.
Wii U is dead. Let it sink into the darkness.
