Mario Kart 8

Spread out now Rosie, Bowser come cut loose Mario's reins. Together we're gonna go out tonight, and make Mario Kart 8 run.

Outside of a vague 2014 release window, we didn't know when Nintendo was planning on releasing major Wii U titles Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 8. Now, thanks to the publisher's German GM, we have a better idea of what to expect. Maybe.

I remember playing every single version of Mario Kart that has ever existed and loving them all. (Ok, maybe not Double Dash.) The Mario Kart series has been one of the most beloved franchises in Nintendo's history. Does Mario Kart 8 live up to its predecessors? I got to find out when I played it at the Nintendo Booth at E3 2013.
