Mario Kart 8 will apparently feature a Grand Prix mode that supports up to four players. In previous installments in the series, Grand Prix mode pits one player against multiple racers that are controlled through artificial intelligence. The mode usually comprises three difficulty levels and eight competitive cups with four tracks each. Mario Kart 8 will be available May 30th for Wii U.
Mario Kart 8 Features Four-Player Grand Prix Mode?

fucking finally
LOL yayyyyyyy plus iv been waiting to long
Sweet, but will this be what gets the Mario Cart fever started? Or will it fail to get gamers playing? We all pray it’s not the latter….
The only way to achieve anything with this game is to ADVERTISE. Of course us core Nintendo fans will buy the game, but now we need to reach out to the casuals and bring them over. (Mario Kart games can do this pretty easily) Let’s just hope that this can boost the Wii U’s sales long enough to at least our real big hitters like SBB4 come smashing in.

Lol!
Racist.
That word is thrown out so often, that it has lost its meaning.
You’re not a racist, if you hate a country or gays.
You’re being hateful toward a certain group of people based on their geographical location. That counts as racism.

He’s*
You’re not the one being racist here, Anonymous.
Wikipedia… ok…
That is exactly what I meant it losing its meaning. Starting to get more common than nazi card.
And again, he was talking about a country. Homophobic maybe, but I wouldn’t call racist just yet.
YOU ARE A RACIST.
*scratch that.*
YOU ARE A HOMOPHOBIC RACIST.

Eat a dick faggot.
Hello! I think this is pretty awesome news! Mother, William, Uncle Bobby, and I have been wanting to do Grand Prix together for the longest time! It’s gonna be a classic summer for sure!
Uhh goodbye!
-Ben
yes finally i hated that they took it out in mario kart wii and 7 and you had to unlock stuff by yourself
soooo you rather it hold your hand with pals then do it yourself?
WAAAAAHOOOOOOOOO
Awesome! Can’t wait until May 30th.
wait two months for a mario game.i lost interest in mario kart 8 back in the summer. this game is just a remake of a wii game to me
It looks miles better then freakin wii. Plus snakeing is gone, better online, larger roster, better track designs(wii’s track design was okay, but only a few things sticked out) its already a huge improvement over wii, i’ve played the game several times. Its your opinion though, but don’t say something is remake when its not a remake.
Just leave the idiot…He ain’t gonna listen because e loves to fork over his money to a company that just wants his money and gives nothing but shooters.
Exactly!! This guy is the biggest pussy troll I’ve seen on here in 2 years. Aeolus , would rebuttle same with the rest. This mommas boy makes a lame statement, gets called out and never argues back. Sasorideidarobi you win a pussy acheiment trophy!!!
am saving money towards a xbox 360 that has better games and experience. cant wait to get the 360.
At least try to learn trolling, or GTFO from internet.
You’re not even amusing.
Better save a lot more than that every year or every month.
I have a Xbox 360 S, only got CoD BO and Halo: Reach for it.
It’s a pretty annoying console to use, stopped playing it years ago.
Memory failed me, I stopped playing it about 2 years ago.
Oh, look! This pathetic troll is still here saying 360 on purpose and not Xbox One to try to make the Wii U look worse! Ah, he’s here every day, right? Poor guy, sad this is the highlight of his day!
I always saw snaking as a good thing. It’s a skill that you have to learn.
You couldn’t even survive one season now your kabuto’s bitch. Get off the internet Sasori, your brain dead like the puppet you are, I’m just under a hole waiting it out, bitch I fucking own you.
Naruto?
Nah. I’m pretty sure that when the game comes out, you’ll probably one of the first ones falling in line to buy it.
Can’t afford it? It’s okay, there are other times you can buy it. Just try not to convince yourself that you don’t need it.
deidarasasori tobi up your entire family at stake
Eat a dick faggot.
Remake of a Wii game? Sure, if you also count Battlefield as being a remake of a slightly old PC game, or count Killzone: Shadows Fall as being a remake of a PS3 game.
You can’t wait to suck Mario’s dick. You fucking faggot. Go lick an asshole you shithead.
This is going to be an awesome ass Mario Kart game~! x3
So can’t wait, it looks so much fun! xD
OOOH HO HO HO HOOOO…now thing are getting interesting.
HAHAHAHA. GULLIBLE FOOLS!
APRIL FOOLS!! XD
Not April yet fool.
Nice! I remember there was a cheat in Diddy Kong Racing that allowed multiplayer adventure mode and that was loads of fun. Hopefully this is too!
Cool news, but why is Nintendo being so quiet about MK8? Something like this would’ve been great to know months earlier.
Probably saving it for the April Nintendo Direct?
My guess is a big direct trailer for MK8 is coming soon they haven’t announced much for it yet, hope we get the blue shell
Same situation as Mario 3D World. They revealed stuff about it like a month away from launch. You don’t try to drive yourself crazy trying to figure them out.
kidnintendo is still making them self look like joke
mario mario mario mario oh if only you NIN fanboys would get out of the 90s
call of duty yayayyayaya sniper diamond camo i destoy
Shut up !!!
sniper sniper sniper sniper diamond camo!!!!! BOSS
and there we go…nothing but shooters confirmed.
Reminds me of Mario kart double dash when you can play co-op
So apparently there will be more info a demo embargo is lifted on thrusday
Woot!
<- Your missing the picture…
Not having 2 player Grand Prix made Mario Kart Wii unplayable for me. I only play w friends
I hope this is true. But more importantly, I’d like an online grand prix!
I’m waiting this game I need brokeng cars of my friends on online mode….
INSIDE VOICES…me too though. ;)
I hope so my bother and I always loved double teaming all the time in two player Grand Prix ! I could just imagine it with four players!
If they can make this online as would be dope.
ALL I WANT IS A DOUBLE DASH MODE!! Sorry for the yelling. :P
Or maybe I’m thinking of something else or I’m going crazy.
Hell yea. Im sick of having to pass the controller back and forth to unlock stuff. Make the multiplayer actually meaningful
Yes! Remember temco’s top gear? Two people worked on unlocking. Still such an epic racing game
That would be pretty awesome. Nintendo finally listening to the consumer… the end of the world is near!
YES Not only can I destroy my friends but now I can get a trophy for it
Dont you dare to play with my heart alba because this is awesome news
Last Mario kart game that allowed four player grand prix was Double dash but you had to be teamed up on two karts. Never the less it was fun though.
Watch it be 4 player LOCAL CO-OP. Which would be useless. Although still wondering if MK8 will be the 1st game to be able to use 2 Gamepads…
Doubt it. 2 game pads would have been announced
They could announce it in a MK ND though…
Or announce that it will be supporting 2 Gamepad next year…
I love Nintendo, obviously so do you, but they are desperate with the wii u! I highly doubt they are holding back info, business wise they can’t! The die hards are starting to second guess. So if they have star fox or metroid secretly in development, they need to say it!!!
I’m sure they have several unannounced games but I don’t think they are that desperat yet…
I Think that just like I have been waiting for, if Mario Kart does not sel as goo as expected, then it’s time to worry…
I don’t really expect Nintendo to announce 2 GamePad-support anytime soon, if at all. They can’t really expect us to go out and buy another Gamepad, considering they cost more to manufacture than regular controllers / Wiimotes.
In some ways, I blame the western parts of our empire…
They should have had the knowledge and understanding about what the western gamers want or atleast know that you can’t have a new console today without advertising it…
I bet it will still have 2 player online like Mario Kart Wii…
Now that…would be kick ass.
I hope it’s true, it will sell like chocolate…
SWEET!
I wonder how this will work, but still will be pretty cool. As long as it supports online! Hopefully it’ll have it as another sub option to Grand Prix, or will it be in with normal Grand Prix?
Great, I’ll head to the finish line while 3 other players sabotage the AIs with banana pills and green shells.
Sasori u dumb brainless jerk off if you going to troll without using a brain atleast try to pretend you have one
I for one have played this game at e3 and it looks better then anything out right now even better then Kim Kardashians nookie
dude forza 3 look better than this. am not wasting 60$ at any nintendo game again. nintendo games should be 30$ at best.
Hey, your loss then.
That’s your loss, I don’t think Nintendo will lose too much sleep over you not liking their games. But really, complaining that Mario Kart has poor graphics is like complaining that Starbound or Braid has bad graphics. You’re technically correct, but you’re completely missing the point.
April Fools’ methinks!
Nintendo Commander Quadraxis is going to be killed next Tuesday in a car accident… “Please Understand”
http://www.change.org/petitions/nintendo-adding-online-multiplayer-and-voice-chat-to-virtual-console-games
Have you ever imagined playing an old classic that you loved and wanted it to be online to show off your skills or even play with friends and family that live to far away to play the game with them. Imagine Super Mario World with online and voice chat, Mario kart with online and voice chat or even super smash bros! from N64 with online multiplayer and voice chat the list can go on and on this can be something that I know will be a hit! We together can make this happen if we show nintendo that we really want this! This would be amazing!
PS4 fans are playing Knack.
PS4 has no games.
Only Knack
This is what I wanted in MKWii and could never work out why it wasn’t at least 2 player. This announcement would be the icing on the cake.
Please be true.
At least it had 2 multiplayer online…
But I agree, it should have at least 2 player multiplayer local again, but preferably 4 now that we have the Wii U…
what was tthe big problem in mk wii, u just went to versus race set it for 4 races to run in order and u had a grand prix
Why are you so excited? VS Race with 4 tracks is same as GP
GP means with the AI aswell, not just 4 players…
u just turned the ai on in versus race
I don’t remember it like that…
fire it up and have a look then, versus race then go to rules/settings turn ai on set it to 150cc, 4 tracks in order and hey presto u got a grand prix
me and a friend did the whole 32 tracks set on random one day, obviously after a little shhhmoke, and the ai wer all there to enjoy it with us
I know you can play GP with 2 players but I’ve never seen it with 3 or 4…
Trust him, he knows.
Well the main issue is that you only unlock other characters and bikes by playing the GP mode. This means that if I play that and complete it then I’m already at a serious advantage when playing with others in my family. SASRT had two player career mode so there is no reason why MK8 can’t do the same, or better with 4 players.
well I will wait and see before getting excited. As for the online feature I saw it with Mario Kart Wii people leave after they lose one race so what the point of having mario kart on-line when people will struggle to find someone to play with cause a lot of people will go off-line after they lose? I really don’t get why people want to play on-line that much…. honestly I really don’t get it. I bet those people just want the option but would not use it after 1 month.
I won’t even go ahead and explain this one. Someone do it for me plz.
???? why did you comment in the 1st place???????
Well to simply put in from a looooooooooooooong story, in it to win it, you beat them, the whine and cry and bam, gone. Best way to put it for dummies.
Well if you aim was to explain me why people go offline after losing one race I think I get the gesture of it before your explanation but thank for taking the time.
Saying that you agree that people leave the game after losing one race therefore you still haven’t give me a valid point of having online feature which won’t be use that much.
Please don’t think I try to be funny but from where I can see, people want a feature which won’t be use and will cost a lot of money and a waste of time for Nintendo.

I was disappointed when it wasn’t in Mario Kart Wii. I wanted to play, but enjoyed playing multiplayer more. Double Dash had a co-op and competitive mode for Grand Prix. It made unlocking characters a LOT more fun. Glad they’re doing it in the new one!
Cool, but does this game will support 5 simultaneous players like Sonic & All-Stars Raacing Transformed? Not adding a 5-player support through the Game Pad would be a waste!
