Wii Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Mario Kart 8 Confirmed As Playable At This Year’s Eurogamer Expo Nintendo UK has announced on Twitter*that Mario Kart 8 will be one of the playable titles at this year’s Eurogamer Expo, also posting the above promotional picture for the game. Taking place in London from September 26th to September 29th, the Expo is one of Europe’s biggest games shows where companies demonstrate their latest material. The Eurogamer Expo will also feature tournaments and a large number of indie games. Mario Kart 8 boasts new anti-gravity kart racing that allows players to race on walls and upside down, a feature that is supported by the Wii U’s HD graphics and processing power, since courses must be displayed quickly from several different camera angles. The game has been confirmed for an April 2014 release. Other Wii U titles on display at the Eurogamer Expo will be Bayonetta 2 and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. http://mynintendonews.com/2013/09/13/mario-kart-8-confirmed-as-playable-at-this-years-eurogamer-expo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f00had Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 The queues can be quite long... I only went once but you'd have to wait an hour for some of the bigger titles e.g. Call of Duty, FIFA etc. I'm not going to Eurogamer this year but Nintendo usually have a presence at MCM Expos so hopefully I can play MK8 next month then.

yesteryeargames Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 A non related mario kart question about eurogamer , how long will it take me to get there from paddington on the tube ?

Dcubed Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 A non related mario kart question about eurogamer , how long will it take me to get there from paddington on the tube ? Any tips And how far of a walk is the expo from the kings station ? Thanks Should be about 20-30 mins from Paddington, but you don't want to walk from King's Cross Station... You'll want to take the Piccadilly Line from Kings Cross to Earls Court. Get off there and the expo is literally right across the street when you head outside the Warwick Road exit Funnily enough, I'll be going but I wont be playing MK8. Don't really want to spoil my first time playing it (Cause there's no way that I'm not getting it anyway!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Tube is 10 minutes between Paddington and Earl's Court but assume a bit of extra time to get on the train + walk to the ground, 20-25 minutes in total like Dcubed said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Just played on this at Play Expo!! HD Mario Kart is amazing! The graphics are great! @lostmario can't wait for this to be released. The league should be good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f00had Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 What do you think of it compared to Mario Kart 7, like how's the handling and and speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Handling is great! Found it better than MK7. The demo was only 50cc so was fairly slow. Still good though! The game looks finished. I dont understand why its not being released this year!! They must be adding voice chat or something. Other than that the graphics are amazing! They looked better than AC4 on the PS4!

Cube Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 What do you think of it compared to Mario Kart 7, like how's the handling and and speed? The speed was set to 50cc so it's an unfair comparison. The handling was decent, but it was more like Wii than 7 (which some people may prefer, but some not). One area which was improved over 7 is the underwater sections, which are no longer immensely slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f00had Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 The one thing I hated about Mario Kart Wii and Double Dash were how bouncy they were, the slightest thing would make your vehicle bounce and you would lose control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liger05 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Who's idea was to set it @ 50cc. Why do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Who's idea was to set it @ 50cc. Why do that? The higher speed also has much more difficult AI racers. You don't want a game at a show where most people would lose. Well, unless it's Dark Souls 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fused King Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Damn, I'd almost feel guilty beating Lostmario, RedShell and f00had in this beauty of a game. I mean, if all they'll be seeing is my dust, how can they experience these amazing graphics? #Let the Smack Talkin' Begin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
