14 Most Hotly Anticipated Gaming Sequels Of 2014

8. Super Mario Kart 8

Mario Kart 8 G3ar Now this one really could be a Wii U seller. Everyone's favourite kart racer (except mine, that honour goes to Crash Team Racing), the Mario Kart series has endured countless consoles and a total of 8 games to bring us the first official HD Mario karting game for the Wii U. Everything you expect to be here is retained. Power-ups, various vehicle types and your favourite Nintendy characters all return for a spot of racing around tracks both new and old, bringing joy to everyone from children to drunken people enjoying a few beers while gathered around the telly. Of course this time around there's a twist - Mario Kart 8 bends the rules slightly by including gravity-defying tracks, meaning you'll quite often find yourself literally driving on the ceiling. If you've got a Wii U, or are debating getting one, you can't go wrong with Mario Kart as one of the games you should be adding to your library.
