It's 720P rendered, 1080 output surely?

The Wii U is a powerful enough machine, but are we seriously saying it's capable of presenting IQ of this sort of standard 1080P and 60fps?

Why wait? It will be a while before the XB1 and PS4's combined library is as good as the WiiU's

I'll be all over MK8!

Nothing close to interesting on x1 for me, got a ps4 and that's done me well so far but I've got such fond memories of Mario kart on the snes and n64. I've been on the fence with Nintendo such the Wii, never got a Wii, haven't looked much into the Wii u, but you know.. Mario's new game on the Wii u looks fantastic, better then knack on the ps4 from the looks, donkey Kong, Zelda and Mario kart I'd play without any doubt..

Announce f zero and I'm buying one now lol .. actually I'm looking at toys r us prices now, I might be tempted to swing by there on way home and buy one..

Edit, Mario pack out of stock....!!

Just to be devil's advocate - you could get Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 too

They are the best Mario games since Mario 64!

In your dreams!

Either way, all of them are great (but Mario 64 > * and you damn well know it!)

Still don't have this pre-ordered yet, holding off for something closer to £30. However I will pay full price on release day if nothing cheap comes up.

Awesome gifs

I've been hyped for MK8, just like I've been with every Mario Kart, purely out of habit. It wasn't until seeing those gifs that I'm properly, appropriately HYPED

As Mario bumps into Bowser - check out Bowser's face and eyes!

Seriously considering taking my wii U out with me!

Wouldn't have a TV though, or very unlikely.....may just wait so I can play on proper TV goodness. Plus it will give everyone a chance to practice

Any info on if this has regional and worldwide matchmaking like the Wii version? Or is it like 8 where they decided to make everyone play together so pretty much every room has at least one lagging player from half way around the world.
