Mario Kart 8 Characters I'd want
-Kirby
-Dedede
-Birdo
-Bowser Jr (I feel odd including him. Part of me thinks there's way too many koopalings as is but the other part feels odd that he isn't here)
-Diddy
-Dry Boner
-Boo
-Bob-omb with classic anchor arms (or just the king one)
Petey should probably stay dead. I'm kind of glad he's been fading out personally as I never really liked how hard he was being pushed. Captain Falcon I just can't see fitting- especially with his Mii gear being his outfit exactly already.
Kirby just seems like such a perfect fit for Mario Kart, I'm honestly surprised he wasn't the first third party character they went with.
Thinking about it, it does seem odd that Bowser Jr isn't in Mario Kart, but, then again, it only just occurred to me that he was left out so I can't have missed him that much. I wouldn't mind him if it meant getting a clown car kart though.
The last thing we need are more koopa kids.
Where's the American splatoon direct?

Did I post the wrong one?

Oh I did! Wow, way to go...
[QUOTE=Sift;47677551]Okay, dogpile me but the Direct has me straight up worried about the game for various reasons. I was already on the fence and this practically shoved me off.
*Online being restricted to two maps that cycle at random periods of the day sucks. This one is what basically has me the most worried. If I get off work and find out the maps I like won't be playable for over 8 hours that is inexcusable. What the fresh hell.
*I won't be able to make a room with just friends right away- I have to wait weeks? That is also inexcusable. I'm fine with no voicechat, I can work around that, but let me play with my friends how we want to play at the least right out the gate.
*Only 5 maps. Nintendo push this game back so the other maps get in. That's nothing.
I'm going to get this game but next time they announce they're releasing such a barebones project I don't care if it's supporting a new IP, I'll just hold off. This sounds like a real skeleton game.[/QUOTE]
Nah your complaints are pretty justified. The only one I'd defend is the five map thing. Team Fortress 2 launched with only six maps and the multiplayer was all the game was. At least there's dress up, single player, and other kind of shit to keep your attention.
The thing that has me most worried are the stats tied to the clothes.
I'll pick it up on Black Friday probably. $60 is a bit too rich for my blood for this game

Can go both ways with TF2 because each map offered a new playmode exclusive to said map and built for the maps.
Also the clothes seem to be random, so if I have a chicken hat on it might have a different perk then your chicken hat. That Spike guy seems to swap em up for you so it's just a matter of rolling till you get what you want.

This is exactly why it feels odd to put him on a list. He feels like he should be in because... he's bowsers kid. He's not a generic enemy he's actually pretty important. Same time though there's literally 4893 koopalings or turtle dudes already in so it's kinda eh.
I want more 'Dry' variations. I loved Dry Bones in DS and Dry Bowser looks awesome. Gimme Dry Yoshi

I like spike in mario party 10 and he would go great in MK i think

Watch it again, it doesn't come till August.

Man, the paintbrush weapon looks so cool.
Little sad that it comes out in august though, I wanted to main it since I saw it back at E3.
But damn, Kraken is the best powerup ever.
I think you're all missing the most important part.

I agree, squid Bayonetta and squid Jeanne are pretty cool.

What's up with their teeth?
Like the fangs I can kind of understand, but what's up with the single tooth standing out in the middle of bottom row?
Callie and Marrie were super cringeworthy tbh. They animate so awkwardly and their mouths have like 2 frames of animation only and it's super jarring. What even was the point.

A parody of kpop stars, maybe? Or, more probably, an exposition for the cat v dog ranked battles that grew into a bigger project.

It's part of worldbuilding and the hip kids image they're trying to cultivate
I like the game's aesthetic a lot but I could do without all that

It is suppose to be like a squid beak.
Speaking of cringeworthy Splatoon promotion:

surprised he didn't say gnarly in that video
whats the consensus on kirby and the rainbow curse/paintbrush? is it good
i dont trust metacritic
[QUOTE=Rusty100;47682662]whats the consensus on kirby and the rainbow curse/paintbrush? is it good

the controls are a bit weird and hard to get used to, and you spend more time looking at the gamepad instead of the TV which means you miss out on the really good visuals
fun if you liked canvas curse but it's an acquired taste

Gonna come off as biased but it owns. Music is fantastic and artstyle is great. Each level tries to offer up some kind of new challenge and it's just a blast all the way through.
If you pick it up only bit of advice I find important is to practice smaller lines. Watching people play and they waste all their ink/rainbow meter/whatever you wanna call it then get punished as a result is super painful.

Well you don't completely miss out on the visuals, it could be worse, they could have made this a 3ds game.
But yeah, it's a shame that they 'wasted' the art style on a game you only play on the gamepad. I hope they revisit the art style later on, like how Yoshi's Woolly World uses an art style very similar to Epic Yarn while being a completely different game.
They should've used the Direct guy's voice in the commercials for Splatoon.
Who was that anyways?
so what you're saying it it's not the new kirby all stars?
