whats wrong with only 8 players online. Every mario kart game up to now hasn't had more than 8 karts on a track, so this is nothing new.

I believe they mean online.

Oddly enough, I've never played Wii online - I've taken it online and checked out the channels and downloaded things, but never once played it online. Until a few days ago I never even knew Wii had friend #s like user-names.

I'd be happy with 8 player online:D

Heck, I'd be happy with only 4 players online.

animals would be interesting as dk's karts
or possibly as speed boost items
as for the online thing, it's probably not true, nintendo have said that they are going for 12 themselves

I think 8 is about right, 12 would be cool too but I don't think it makes much difference.

12 is just 4 more people to cheat and disconnect when they know they are going to lose.

I also heard a rumor that Mario was Master Chief's father, but it was just a rumor. What was it that Reggie said at this years pseudo-E3? 8 would be enough for me, so long as the number balances the number of people who snake, the people who leave when they lose, and the people who just want to race normally with items then that will suit me fine. (I know how to snake I just don't find it fun to do.)

Why not invite some friends over instead of playing people from other countries in a darkened room?

I think if the game doesn't support 12 players online it wont support 12 players on one console either.

Plus how do you plan on making room for everyone?

I never said anything about 12 people in one room. Three or four would be fine.

8 players online is great, in my opinion. Wouldn't hurt with even more players, I guess, but less players would be boring.

As long as it has local multiplayer, I don't really care. How manykarts do you want to have on a track at once?

All Mario Karts only have eight players.Nuck81

That's false. All Mario Karts only have 8 players on SNES, N64and maybe GameBoy Advance. Mario Kart for GameCube had more than 8 players and I think Mario Kart DS might have had 9 or something. Either way, the TC was talking about playing online.

And there are already animals in Mario Kart....Donkey Kong is an Ape andYoshi is a Dinosaur :p.

Dont game slikeForza even use 8 cars.

Its not a problem for me but being that this is an arcade style racer it should probabaly be up to 16 also they should that method where if people D/C then a computor player is in place of it like SSBB.

ALSO IF THEY IGNORE LAN ONCE AGAIN IN A WII GAME I AM GONNA FREAK. I would definitely use LAN more than online ebcause by brother has a Wii also and so does his friend. If they do not do LAN I will seriously be pissed off.

That's.............good. I think more than 8 would be crazy. To many items, explosions everywhere, total mayhem, ect.

All of you should know that Ninty are smart enough not to ruin one of the biggest games in the industry by letting you ride on animals.

And 8 players online doesnt bother me, as long as it IS online.

i doubt that rumor is true. Riding animals would totally negate the "kart"

anyway if they dont use LAN I am going to go crazy. MK DD used LAN why cant its more advanced successor use a basic function used by so many.

If this is true, there's absolutely nothing wrong with 8-player online racing. Personally, I can't wait.
