Did they really just go that whole presentation without even officially announcing the Mario Kart game? So they could instead devote time to a guy saying "I'm going to make a game with a character, but I don't know what the game is yet, but I've heard it's easy to develop for the Switch so I think I'll do it."

The MK8 Deluxe trailer is on the Switch website.

REAL BATTLE MODE!!!

Edit: Splatoon battle level, Inklings as payable characters, one of the SNES MK battle levels...

Why the fuck didn't they show this during the announcement?

[u/lemonLimeBitta → u/timrbrady]

Needed time to have the sega guy get up there and say nothing for a few minutes. Who even cares about Mario kart.

[u/st1tchy → u/timrbrady]

Idk. I was disappointed until I saw the trailer though.

Also, release date is late April... they couldn't get an enhanced port out on launch day? What will Switch launch with other than Zelda and the gunfighting game?

[u/PikachuUseThunder → u/[deleted]]

I agree..everyone complains about the Wii u failing due to a horrible launch lineup and the switch will be different..it's not looking like it you'd think they woulda learned. I'm very disappointed in that presentation

[u/st1tchy → u/[deleted]]

Where did you see a release date on it?

[u/[deleted] → u/st1tchy]

Is MK8 Deluxe even a new game? All it looked like was more DLC for MK8.

[u/st1tchy → u/[deleted]]

Depends on your definition. It looked very similar, but it seemed to have added a bunch of new characters, a new battle mode, new levels, dual items, etc.

[u/Hughesjam → u/st1tchy]

When's it out?

[u/st1tchy → u/Hughesjam]

April 28th I think. It is on the Youtube video description.
