    Here's Sunshine Airport.

    I also really like Sunshine Airport. I do wander if this might hint at Toadsworth joining the race since Sunshine was the first game he showed up in. Of course it could always be Bowser Jr's course.

    Toadsworth would be an awesome character but they never choose good characters in Mario Kart. (although the Koopalings were cool and since there aren't many good Mario characters I don't blame them)

    And Sunshine Airport will likely be one of my favorite courses in the game. At least from the new courses at any rate, hopefully there will be some good retro tracks as well.

    Mario Kart 8 may be releasing much earlier on Amazon (but this is a rumor and probably fake):

    Probably just a mistake on their part. But who knows, if it's released early as a surprise, that'll be nice.

    Then we'll have a Pokemon X/Y all over again.

    Releases leaks.

    Nintendo is furious.

    Take leaks down.

    If you don't comply we'll sue your ass or something.

    I don't see it coming out sooner then the end of May unless it comes out on the eShop early.

    This is fake.
    That's either a mistake or a mock-up of a chat in Amazon.

    It seems like people in Japan can pick a different set of playing cards as there preorder bonus.

    At least the Koopalings being a joker card makes sense and I would like buy a bundle with the Mario and Rosalina cards if they did something like that over the Blue Shell toy.

    That's cool, but it'd make more sense if they just had a different character on each different kind of card instead of having different sets with the different characters.

    Also, does anyone think there will be DLC cups for Mario Kart 8 available in the future? I think they could have a couple of cups available for download, or even just a few tracks, just because 32 tracks isn't much content. Although I'd prefer to just have more cups in the game to start with.

    So apparently Mario Kart 8 could feature a 4-player Grand Prix mode, according to a message on Twitter from Manealeau. It's just a rumor but I think it could be true:

    So apparently Mario Kart 8 on Wii U is playable with up to 4 players in the grand prix mode. These are very good news!

    A 4-Player Grand Prix mode would be awesome, although I'm not sure how it'll work. Maybe it'd have something to do with teams?

    March 31st... April 1st...

    Just simply judging firsthand, this seems false.

    Also, can I see this link to this...Manealeau?

    EDIT: Oh. You forgot a "u". That's why I couldn't find it.

    Perhaps it is, but I have no idea since it is only March 31st. (could be April 1st in the person who posted that's area?) I honestly don't know who the person is who posted that, but he did seem to know more info on the game looking at the other messages on his Twitter.

    It might not be an April Fools joke since the tweets are gone now.

    I guess 4 player grand pix mode would be cool since it seems like tons of people want it.

    That'd actually be pretty cool.
    I hope it's real.

    Here's the video preview from GameXplain. They shown 1 new tracks so you might not want to watch the video and here's a new trailer.






    Shy Guy, Metal Mario and Lakitu return and some returning courses are Toad's Turnpike, Royal Raceway, Moo Moo Meadows and N64 Rainbow Road. Lastly the new items. Also here some gameplay of Toad's Turnpike, N64 Rainbow Road and a look at the 16 tracks that were playable.


    Spoiler:

    Info round-up :
    Gameplay:

    I can't wait to play this great looking game when it comes out and some of the Retro tracks look brand new.
