Nice to see dualshockers to show great games like Mario Kart 8.... :o

-Foxtrot3707d ago

Yeah why doesn't the decoy item box look like a real item box....kind of defeats the point of the item if you know not to go near it.

TransientDreamer3707d ago

It's not meant to be taken seriously. It's pure humor.

-Foxtrot3707d ago (Edited 3707d ago )

I know but I'm just saying it's bringing up a point I've never thought about before

That's all....people are taken my comment waaaaaaay to seriously

How sad

MNGamer-N3707d ago

It's not humor if it's not funny. Just saying.

DanManDantheMan3707d ago

You couldn't help criticize Nintendo even on a humor video.

Pro tip: It's not an actual issue.

-Foxtrot3707d ago (Edited 3707d ago )

Oh for the love of god, I was just saying how it's made me realise something I've never thought about before

Stop trying to twist every little thing to start an argument

Jeez....what is with people like you who rather talk about users on here then the article it's self.

Lighten up

I've said positive and negative stuff about everything....people like you however like to cherry pick peoples comments to troll.

Marked for being off topic.

if placed over the item boxes they hit, and hell I've hit them by accident haha!

wonderfulmonkeyman3707d ago

Best way to use it during a race is to set it directly behind or on top of pre-existing item boxes, especially if they're on a curve that most drivers take wide to hit the outside or inside boxes due to avoiding some sort of obstacle just around the bend.

In battle mode, it's best used as a defensive item against persistent red shells and tail-gaters with mushrooms that want to steal a balloon.XD

weekev153707d ago

Wow your kinda over sensitive eh. If you read your comment again youl see it does come across as quite trolly. If you had worded it like "I never thought about the fact the decoy item box doesnt lookie like a real item box before. Kinda defeats the purpose does it not." You may not have received the feedback you did.

in proper response to your comment it can be placed well so if you stick it in a bunch of item boxes folks may not have time to react to it bein a decoy so it does serve a purpose.

Neonridr3707d ago

Well the decoy has to look different somewhat, otherwise how would you ever know that it's an item block or a fake? That would be a little too evil if you ask me ;)

Agree with the others, I always place them either in paths I know that people have to drive, or inside existing boxes so you don't realize it until you are passing through.

If you want to be really evil, try placing it right before a jump. If the player wipes out, they usually won't be able to gain enough speed to make the jump. Especially painful on the older games where if you didn't clear the jump you would have to circle back around like half the map.

This is the 1st I've seen. Too damn funny.

hennessey863707d ago

The film trailers are brilliant, get watching you have a lot of catching up to do ha

live2play3707d ago (Edited 3707d ago )

dude have you seen the honest trailers for movies? you will be laughing out loud.
see honest trailers, how it should have ended, and everything wrong with...
you will be delighted. i guarantee it

MONKEYDLUFFY3707d ago

Too bashing not enough humor. One game per console is not "milking"

Baka-akaB3707d ago (Edited 3707d ago )

Dude chill , honest trailers are about "trashing" and nitpicking any movies , good or bad . And hell it's almost still always based on facts , however twisted and skewed .

It's the same principle used here on a game .

PS : Besides what he called milking was the use of the mario franchise and universe as whole anyway , not necessarily MK .

DanManDantheMan3707d ago

Like Foxtrot, you're taking it a bit too seriously.

1nsomniac3707d ago

Awesome!!

Everyone prefers honesty over PR BS.

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."

I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.

gold_drake22d ago

there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.

nintendo needs their bangers early on

Cool cool, can I get a plastic little watch that when you push a button you hear a "wahoo"? I can't afford to waste 4k on a watch right now, but maybe later.
