Seriously, I am actually really looking forward to this game, and have really high expectations. I haven't played MKW in over a year because it stressed me out so much but I still enjoy a therapeutic MKDS session; there is something very relaxing about murdering your D-pad with broken MTs. While MK7 has self charge MTs, I think there will still be a heck of a lot strategy potential with the gliding and customisation and so on. MKW has stayed its course, and MKDS keeps me ticking over while I wait for another installment. I have become a kart obsessive.

Plus I still find myself drawn to the MKW board, but the quality of posting hovers around the 2.5-3.5/10 mark, certainly not a good level, hopefully this board flourishes.

I'm going to whore out this game so hard over christmas. Someone suggested a track editor, this is a feature I hope exists. I hope also that the wifi system has had a complete overhaul, but knowing Nintendo this is unlikely!

I’m hyped too, first I need a 3DS though

if everything goes right and I like the game, I’ll try as hard as I can to be #1

I didnt buy the 3DS for the 3D I bought it for the games, ushc as MK7, I am soooo excited

I hope that I can get the game a day or 2 before the release date because an amazon.co.uk depot zone is where I live so sometimes Im allowed to pick it up early >=D

Also by getting it around the release date I hope to be high ranked on the charts and be able to give better advice than I can with the other 2 MK's I play

Like the above poster said, I think we still lack a certain number of news to be hyped enough, even with the playable demo (a first game for a kart game). Namely, we don't know the date release, the number of track, which games will be part of the retro, and basically any kind or glimpse of the online features.

Also, many people werd disappoint to see the MKW's mini-turbo system back, which is said to be the most uninteresting, and weren't convinced by the gliding driving, seen as a drawback from classic karting.

Nonetheless I'm still interested in getting the game even though I shouldn't jump on day one because of final exams...

I've never had an issue with the 3DS battery life, it's only bad if you use 3D setting at the max and have wi-fi on. Besides, if you're spending hours in one setting trying to get PR's or playing wi-fi, you're most likely at home aka where you have a charger.

Also, I highly doubt they'll release a new model anytime soon because they atleast need to sell all the 3DS systems that are in stores right now before they release a new model, and with 3DS sales the way they are now that's unlikely imo.

This will be the first mk game that I will see from the start on this site. At first I wasn't too enthousiastic about it, but now I got myself a 3ds and I'm looking forward to it.

Edit: 500th post

For the people concerned with the lack of info since E3, the official (partnered) 3DS blog on Youtube keeps on mentioning about the "nintendo 3DS conference" which is on the 13th on September and there is apparently a stream for it also, it is in japanese but there will be game trailers etc.

Sadly in GMT it will probably be early Tuesday morning and I have school :/



So yeah we can HOPE MK7 will be mentioned

I am very very hyped. I don't know why but I have a good feeling for this game and I am very disappointed when I realize it's still so far away
I have it preordered and will play the heck out of it ASAP.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to buy this game too.
I don't know how long I will spend on it during the first few days of playing but it will definitely be a lot of time.

Iam very hyped. Can´t wait to play this game. It looks really awesome.
The next 2 and a half months will be very hard T__T

The only way I'd imagine myself being hyped was if the control was actually good and judging by the poor 3ds hardware and control issues I have no desire for the game.  It seems to be just as bad in comparison as playing mkds on a mush ds-lite d-pad with sticky trigger buttons, aka very little control.

Well, almost everyone wants to fight for top positions, the hardest thing is to have enough consistency to keep up.

By the way, i haven't touched my 3DS for a while too, but SM3DS and MK7 imho are going to turn on the lightspot on 3DS instead of the good ol' DS

^Amazon.co.uk doesn't have pre-order price guarantee?
