I can live with other pads but the Gamecube was the best controller ever made.

I did enjoy playing Smash with Cube pad, but, they probably shouldn't have spoiled us man-babies by doing that. I think I'm with Shanks in that they should stop building ports for it now! Or design a pro-controller that's exactly the same shape, natch.

Surely that's the answer? Just build a new controller that's nice to hold. I'm ready to cut the GC umbilical/controller cord now.

In line with my "GameCube VC or bust" comment from elsethread, I agree: let this be the last gen that's GC pad compatible.

Kart 8+ info:
Seems we may know what the extras will be in Kart 8+ and those will be a All New Battle Mode, 24 New Tracks and 10 New Racers thanks to promotional stuff being sent out by someone for something which might be happening in 10 days time.
I don't know if you want to talk about the 10 new racers we would like but without spoiling this for some.

That's what I'd hoped for, really. I think it's fine to talk about wanted new racers, we saw one in the trailer and he's in the title of this thread!
I know my mum will want Petey Piranha, she loves him. Me, I'd be happy with King Boo and Bowser Jr. Since we've got Link (BotW-based track PLEASE), I wouldn't mind seeing the odd non-Mario character in there either. Pikachu to capitalise on recent Poképopularity?
Spoiler-related fact:
If there is a proper battle mode, this will be the Switch's first perfect game.

Any crossover characters like Rabbids or Jade to help promote other games?

Well if Rayman can be a trophy for no reason then Jade being a playable racer seems much more reasonable.
Inklings also to tie in with Splatoon+ and knowing Nintendo the new character from New 3D Mario which know one has seen before like they did with spoiling Rosalina as secret unlock in SM3DW.

Faked, apparently - and sadly. Suppose it's a bit much to hope that Ninty would give us/me exactly what we/I wanted.

Yeah seems it is but then I've seen others say it's a misunderstanding and that the 24 new tracks includes the DLC tracks meaning thier is only actually like 8 new tracks and same with racers.
We will find out hopefully in a weeks time what all these remasters have etc.

I hope it's time to expand on the DLC for MK8 and just make it Nintendo Kart. Therefore, we can race tracks around Pikmin's PNF-404, and a proper Hyrule that's not tied into Hyrule Warriors... but ultimately I think it's time to wait and see what Ninty say in a couple of weeks' time.
And then get really angry.

It can literally just be the Wii U game on Switch and I'm already dead excited. Can't wait to play that smooth as caramel, sexy racing on a handheld.

A port from the Wii U would still be well good, I've got faith those Ninty folk will add in some great tweaks for the Switcheroo, but if they don't add these...
Tracks
#5:
Waluigi Pinball
I'm not normally partial to tracks that have a lot going on, this one doesn't go nuts though and an HD remake of this MK DS track would look an absolute treat. I'm sure there's some zero-g fun to be had in redesigning areas of it too.
#4:
Super Smash Brothers
You don't like the MK Smash stages? Get out. Actually, come back I want you to play this new MK track. How would it work? It wouldn't. Don't judge me.
#3:
If they're going to add 24 tracks, at least one of those must be this classic. Yes, I know it's already in MK 8, but it better be in multiple cups because I don't want to scroll through a load of Non-MooMoo times to get milky!
#2:
DK Mountain
BIG CANNON BIT
#1:
COCONUT MALL
Mo Miis pliis.
And now some thoughts on potential racing chaps.
#5:
Little Mac
No, you're not allowed in. You can't drive with boxing gloves on.
#4:
Olimer
Yeah yeah, what, what, it's ya boy. Get in there son, give us a Pikmin track.
#3:
Tatanga
What's been up old man? Where have you been? Find out in STORY MODE! (Real talk: He'd give us a fun kart)REAL TALK, where the fucks all suggestive Tatanga imagery at?
#2:
Dry Bones
I think you're alright mate, don't listen to the haters.
#1:
William Howard Taft
The only President to get stuck in a bath, serve in the Supreme Court, and make Teddy look well naw. Big Bill, Mario Kart. GET INVOLVED.

I get the feeling it'll be more of the same with extra tracks and karters, can't imagine we'll get any new modes sadly, hopefully I'm just being pessimistic but they know they're on to a winner so can't imagine they'll switch it up too much. There isn't really many Mario characters I could ask for so I'm all for characters from other Nintendo games, makes for much more interesting track design I reckon.

'Please sign in to view this trailer' BOLLOCKS TO THAT.
Looks grand though. Battle, inklings, Boo, and a launch window release (28th April). Instant 10/10.

The battle mode and inklings is enough for me to rebuy MK8.

Considering I've never owned Mario Kart 8 before, this is a no-brainer for me really. And so close to launch too!
On a side note, Mario Kart really is getting closer to just being "Nintendo Kart", isn't it?

Nope, not a bad thing! Although, Captain Falcon needs to stay away so he can star in his own game series again, natch.
And that game series being Super Smash Bros...

What if Retro's game is a metroid-like starring the Captain Falcon?
