MARIOKART 8

Mariokart 8 Is the highly antisipated 10th or so game in the series. It was rumored to be the Wii U's savior but It really stands on its own. As a PIECE OF SHIT! Fuck Mariokart 8. Are you kidding me? I played all the way through 50cc,unlocked a bunch of characters that have garbage stats and and got the shocking revelation of nintendo bias. Why make a ton of charcters but only have 3 types? Heavy, medium, light? Same goes for the Vehiciles, tires and parachutes. Its the very epitome of illusion.

Who does nintendo make games for? Obviously kids, right? That is how they are still in business but the Wii U was made for ''the rest in mind'' You know the hardcore fans that moved on when the casual Wii was the top dog. They got a taste of that capatialism scheme and wanted more. Casuals arent loyal, its in the name. They are only looking for fun and then they move on. A tourist if you will. I can say that cause Im from Vegas.

Anyway enough cane waving, Mariokart 8 starts off with a bang. The game looks great in 1080p, has a really nice framerate (for the most part stays consistant.) has a killer control scheme, has a really nice selection of new and used levels and keeps you on your toes until you've gained the goldkart, goldtires and gold glider. The game makes you go for gold.

I started with the koopa troopa because im old and it was the best character in the old mariokart original. I enter 50cc and enjoy most of the levels. I noticed that Luigi isnt on my ass, um, at all. Like, shadow of his former self here. Graphics are amazing, 50cc doesnt give you much trouble. Unlocked lame unusable karts and wheels. Meh

100cc, this is more like it. Fast with a bit of resistance. Nintendo doing what they do best and easing you into 150cc. Had moderate problems towards the end trying to get all triple gold stars.

150cc The actual game has arrived and boy did they change it up. Nearly everyone else had gotten Luigi powers from the past. All Luigi got was a Meme for riding dirty. Suddenly the Koopa Troopa wasn't good enough. We were racing with the handdicapped. There were stats but nintendo never bothered to mention this. You have to stumble upon it. Thats right. Its bullshit.

We boiled it down to the Donkey Kong, Rocket car, tiny red wheels and clouds are your best set up to get 50cc 100cc 150cc and mirror,  all gold 3 star trophies.

Its all logic with a bit of luck, no problem.

Then I went into online multiplayer.
