Chrom Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Nintendo Poland apparently posted all of this. Shine Thief (?), Coin Runners, Balloon Battle, Bob-omb Blast, and something involving Piranha Plants Inkling Girl and Isabelle are entirely new, that might be it. Presumably you can use all other amiibo that were originally compatible with the original Mario Kart 8 as well. Oh and yes Miis are still in the game in case there's anyone who doesn't know.

Elemental Hero Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 None of this matters until we answer the real question here: Is Block Fort coming back? Marxforever 1 Quote Link to comment
AGES Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) I question why we still don't have compatibility for: Game & Watch, Duck Hunt, and R.O.B. Edited January 21, 2017 by AGES purple_beard 1 Quote Link to comment
The Albraskan Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Nice to see more battle mode options. I'm gonna make a guess and say the piranha plant mode is going to be a battle mode where everyone has a piranha plant in front of them the whole time while still using other items maybe? Also I believe that the costume Isabelle gives was in Mario Kart 8 already, but was only unlocked with Villager at the time. That might have changed when the other Animal Crossing amiibo came out though. So I want to say the only real new one is the Inkling costume. Pretty nice find Chrom. edit: I just realized in the picture where they show the amiibo next to the Miis in costumes, they have a second Yoshi amiibo next to the Mii in the Mario outfit. So this picture is photoshopped wrong. Edited January 21, 2017 by The Albraskan Avoiding double post. Quote Link to comment
Fuzzer1 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Seems the Daisy figure isn't compatible, at least from what the images aren't showing. Quote Link to comment
purple_beard Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Yoshi netting a Mario costume? Old Kirby gets 1 version, New Kirby gets a modified one? * Same with Link *Same w' Villager? ... helmets look the same but the dress... TOTALLY FEELING THE SPLATOON set with the BMX look *** Forgot about Shine Thief.... that mode was actuall fun ..I believe the last one with the shine wins.... I wonder what Piranha Plants could do? FWIW: Complete original set... IMO TOPS: Pac Man, Bowser, Samus, Captain Falcon, Star Fox TRASH: DK and Yoshi Edited January 21, 2017 by purple_beard Quote Link to comment

My first thought was something like hungry hungry hippos where you try to feed your piranha plant the most objects/coins/whatever. That'd be pretty similar to coin runners though, I suppose.

Doc Brown Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 There'd have to be a sale for me to re buy, as I already have the game and the extras that came with it. The new stuff isn't really much of an incentive for me to pay full price again. alienboyva and The Albraskan 2 Quote Link to comment

Unless I had the pre-ordered the Switch, and if the games they showed so far around launch were the only games they have for the launch period, then I might. But it would have ultimately been better to just put more time into working on a Mario Kart 9 over fixing Mario Kart 8's battle mode along with some more characters to repackage it for a new system. purple_beard and Doc Brown 2 Quote Link to comment

My lone thought on this is though, that based on the timing, this would have been the timing for the successor to MK7 on a portable system, not the time to have the next game be the console sequel. Now I love me some MK8 but MK8DLX really needs to have some sort of DLC plan for future additions to the core game, because I already have MK8... and buying it over again for battle mode only @ $60 is a steep barrier to entry to me.

Marxforever Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Well, like I mentioned in the chat this past Thursday. My way of justifying buying Mario Kart 8 again, besides all the extra bells and whistles and stronger hardware, is that it's going to portable, which is pretty damn sweet. And since I effectively payed forty extra dollars to play Smash Bros on the go, with vastly inferior graphics to the home console version by the way. Paying $60 for not only a superior version to the one I own now, in terms of frame rate, but a portable version that will be equal to the home version in every regard, and include a plethora of bonuses that would easily equate to $20 in DLC? I'm really okay that. Of course, I can remember a time before DLC, when everytime they made a couple of characters you had to buy the game again. Hi, Street Fighter 2. So I may just be more open to the idea. My only problem is getting the funds together. $420 for the Switch, Mario Kart 8, and Breath of the Wild? Ouch...
