Mario Kart 8 Gameplay From Madrid Games Week

Footage of a multiplayer race in the highly anticipated Mario Kart 8 has surfaced online. The footage was taken by gamers at this year’s Madrid Games Week. Interestingly, those that were playing were using the gyroscopic controls, rather than the traditional ones. Which control scheme will use for Mario Kart once it’s released next year.

    1. They can use a joystick, Mario Kart Wii can be played only with the wii remote, or with nunchuck, or with a game cube controller, or a classic controller. And I suppose that Mario Kart 8 will offer options too: Game Pad with gyroscopic controls, with the sticks (they have confirmed this already), wii remote, with nunchuck and with the wii u pro controller

    1. Of course there will be! They’re not just going to spoil the whole roster before launc. There will be the amount or more unlockables as MK7.

    1. It probably will I hope there will be a mario edition with mario wii remote + gamepad hopefully red with Mario’s kart logo on the back.

      And a Luigi bundle same thing but luigi themed

      Or hopefully not or I would end up buying both

  1. I dont like gyroscope controlling, it is just doesnt have good feeling to it.
    Still hope they make proper wheel and pedals for Wii U.

      WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGG

      LABELING ALL MOTION AS THE SAME ITS MORONS LIKE YOU WHO THINK KINECT LTFOL IS LIKE WII REMOTE PLUS OR GAMEPAD UTTER NONSENSE

      THE MTION STEERING IN KART WII WAS DELIBRATLY CASUAL AND LOOSE

      THERES NO REASON FOR THIS TO CONTINUE GAMEPAD AND W REMOTE PLUS OFFER INSANE LEVELS OF GYRO MOTION POLISH

      ITS JUST UP TO NINTENDO TO DO IT THAT WAY

      IMAGINE A GRAN TURISMO LIKE SIM WITH AMASING STERRING AND FEED BACK AND PHYSICS

      MOTION CAN DO THIS A ANALOG STICK SIMPLY CANNOT

      MTOIN IS TO STERRING AND DRIVING WHAT A WII REMOTE IS TO FPS

      SENT BY GOD PERFECTION ITS THE INDUSTRY THAT NEEDS TO GET WITH THE TIMES AND USE THESE NEXT GENERATION CUTTING SDGE TOOLS

      PS4 IS NOT NEXT GEN ABOVE PROVES THIS FACT

      1. Aaand, I’m just going to ignore morons like you.
        How did anything you tried to type have anything to do with what I said?

  2. MOTION STEERING IF POLISHED GAMEPADS MOTION IS 15 X HIGHER THAN DUALSHOCK 4 AND ITS 9 AXIS SO TIGHT SWEET OPTERMIZED MOTION IS DOABLE PLEASE DO THIS NINTENDO

    WII MOTION PLUS ALSO OFFERS THIS WONT GO MOTION IF JUST A CASUAL SETTING

    1. You can curse 6ways from Sunday and I won’t give a flying fuck, but that comment was racist. I hope you get banned.

      1. The anonymous user? Yeah that’d be earth shattering for me to be banned. It’s poking a bit of fun, the world is too sensitive nowadays. Soo much so that we misplace our anger towards things that arent truly racist. Insulting a races driving skills is the least of our problems. So calm the fuck down. Douche bag.

      2. it is indeed racist but I swear to God that 8 out of 10 stupid drivers happen to be asian! I really do not understand why!

  3. Ouch, watching them race wad PAINFUL. X.x. I can’t wait for this. I’d give anything for the return of duel-driver karts, like double dash, but, whatever I guess.

  4. If anyone is wondering about controls, when I played MK8 at MCM London expo, they had the option of Wiimote gyro for one player and Gamepad controls for the other. And you could turn on or off the Gamepad gyro (If I’m not mistaken, was a while ago but I’m pretty sure that was the case) So basically you can likely play how you want, either traditional Gamepad/Wii U pro controls or Gyro Wiimote/Gamepad controls, etc.
