Mario Kart 8 announced for Wii U [UPDATE: Screens]

WiiU_MarioKart8_logo01_E3I know this will come as a big surprise for everyone, but Mario Kart 8 is indeed headed to the Wii U. Sarcasm aside, it looks like a pretty beefed-up version of the Mario Kart formula, with a host of new tricks up itโ€™s sleeve. No idea on the full line-up of racers available, but the trailer depicts the usual suspects. Itโ€™s certainly the best looking Mario Kart weโ€™ve seen yet.

Check out the reveal trailer included below, direct from Nintendoโ€™s official YouTube page.

UPDATE: New Screens.
