New Mario Kart 8 Trailer

This video just came out today.  It shows quite a bit of what gameplay will look like in the new Mario Kart game, including a couple of new items and the whole upside-down component.  Now, I'm sure that many people will enjoy more items, but personally, I thought there were way too many things in Mario Kart 7.  I acknowledge that blue shells are probably a necessity as they prevent excessive victory margins (usually), but the cloud, the shrink lightning, and the Pow block are just terrible.  I can't say I'm a fan of red shells either, they're either ridiculously annoying or completely unreliable, running immediately into a wall or off a cliff.  I don't know about the anti-gravity thing either, watching the trailer was enough to get me confused as to what was going on.  Mario Kart shouldn't be particularly complicated, and I'm afraid that the anti-gravity makes it so.  Nintendo's been doing this for a while though, so if anybody can make all this work, they can.
