One of the reason why I want to buy Wii U. :3
NaomiMinette
Too much hype, argh >< Looking forward to racing with others on here, though!

Also, I already have a Wii U. I mainly got it for Super Mario 3D World, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (yet to come), and... well... this game :P
Ekaru
I'm hyped because there's a coin item! Everything else looks horrible but the coin item makes up for it! Woohoo!

I hope North America gets those bundles as well... As far as I know, only Europe can get them.

But yea I would love to own a bowser themed wiimote. There never seem to be much items that are themed after him. I like peaches version because of the crown, gold d-pad, and the pink looks great
Lanturn
They really plan on releasing more of those steering wheels?

Anyone still actually use it? I tried it back when I got MK Wii, but honestly couldn't stand playing with it. Just went right back to my GCN Controller XD

Just took a look at MK8's website.

All my reaction was like: Must. Buy. It. XD

I will not buy a Wii U for Mario Kart...... I may try to port it for PC.

But the game looks cool.

(Idk if you can rly port it)
Chamelo
There's a Wii emulator on PC
but, it required a very,very,very,very,very,very,very,ve... good spec.

And there's no Wii U emulator yet.

You're joking.

Well, what do you think?
I'm planning to buy Wii U because it can also play Wii game, on full speed/quality. Of course, my laptop can't do that.

Back to the main topic.

So, basically Super Horn is the enchanted version of Raccoon tail? Because that item was removed.

enchanted hopefully meaning just enchanted and not "boosted 1000x"

Two more weeks, argh ><

I ordered the Wii LAN adapter so I can play better in online.

I just want my rainbow road @_@
NaomiMinette
Not sure if I'll like the new one, but the nostalgia one... Do want.

Any version of rainbow road is good just as long as they don't ruin it by putting barriers so you don't fall off and putting unnecessary bullshit like ? blocks every 1/4 mile

lol ikr

that rainbow road is so annoying
NaomiMinette
Honestly, you only kept falling off because of how the karts handled in DD. MKDS had a similar design for its Rainbow Road, but the kart handling was so much better there, so you didn't really fall off as much.
Gakkun
SNES rainbow road > all rainbow roads

I agree, MKDS drifting is very easy always had trouble with every MK games

I don't have a wii U v-v but I'm going to camp in my bfs house every weekend just to hog his Wii U and rage on this MK8 !!!

SNES Rainbow Road is actually better on Mario Kart 7 since the Rainbow Thwomps create waves after they hit the track (though at the same time, said waves can screw you over).

Every time.

SNES Rainbow road.

Every time I drift. ;w;

I will stay up all night to download it if I have to.

By the way, I added a Google Doc link to the OP with permission from RatedNC17. Please put your Nintendo Network ID on it ASAP so that you can add each other ahead of time instead of when/after the game comes out. There's also a Skype group if you're interested in joining.

At least you (hopefully) won't have to walk over to a friend's house whenever you want to play. >_>

Walking over master race!

Bumping since I know some people managed to get the game earlier than others.

I pre-ordered it and if it doesn't come with the mail in the next few hours then I'll have to wait 'till monday :(

Edit: I went for a jog after I posted ^. I got back, powered up my PC and checked few pages. And then I heard a bigger clank than usual from the letterbox behind me. I started smiling, turned around and saw a white envelope and knew what was inside. I ripped it open and there it was, MAH MARIO KART

Yeah, the server's pretty bad at the moment.

EDIT: Luigi's Death Stare is apparently a thing now (video isn't mine):

karterfreak
I used to do a lot of time trialing in mario kart games at a competitive level, so I kinda picked up on that again in Mario Kart 8.

This vid was 7'th worldwide when I posted it up and only .515 behind the World Record.

NaomiMinette
Quick reminder to everyone here: for those with a Club Nintendo account who qualified for a free download code, don't forget to register THAT game as well; you can still get Coins/Stars for it!
OnosakiHito
Oh we can? Good to know. Thanks! lol
I took the windwalker.

@Tasha: We should play together as well.

Well... I guess Luigi's death stare is public now...

This game is only about RNG and LUCK. From 1 place to last one in 3 sec. I never got Stars or boost or maybe 1 bullet. DAM IT WHY I HAVE SO MUCH BAD LUCK IN ANY GAME.

Antigravity would be pointless if MKTV showed our point of view the whole time, so...

Online is still pretty much unplayable for me, keep getting connection errors. I managed to play few games with 3 other players in Tournament but after those few games I got connection error ;_;

It usually works alright for me as long as no friends try to join. That tends to be the point when things break. Sometimes it breaks just fine on its own though!

I really hope they patch this up. They can do it Tuesday while everyone is distracted by E3.

i want to play this so badly
worth? i need to buy a wii ;_;
Chamelo
Not just Wii, but Wii U. ;w;

Btw, I'm planning on buying Wii U in the future. (Possibly next year)

Should I buy it from the local store in my country,
or should I order it from the U.S. then use the shipping service to my home?
Because ordering online is wayyyyyyyy cheaper than the local store here.

Almost worth buying Wii U for. Streams got me real jelly but at least Sonic Allstars Racing is keeping me company.

Aaaaaa. I bought it yesterday and I love it!
I wonder if we could setup own tourneys and run them frequently there :D would be kinda fun I think. (Maybe have a osu!wide leaderboard for this, according to the tourney outcomes)

This game is best played outside.

This post is a friendly reminder that we have a Skype group that's great for arranging games, and that anyone can get in by asking someone who's already in to add them (examples: myself, Blazevoir, jericho2442).

Also, for those who don't know, there's a bug where you can disband an entire room by leaving without first choosing a course between races. Or at least I think that's how it happens. It's something like that. Anyway, be careful with how you disconnect!

Totally gonna play this some today though. Didn't play it much this week because I was busy fawning over the stuff from E3. That's over with now though so life can go on!

I just played MK8 at a friend's house. I don't get why bananas are so penalizing (in previous MKs you would just spin and lose some speed, not stop completely like with shells) but overall it is a pretty good game, better than MKWii at least.

not even close to be as good as MArio KArt Wii for the competetive scene
great game to play with friends and family though!

They could've at least added at least one more interesting character instead of fucking shit Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach, like Bowser Jr. or, idk, somebody with vehicle experience like Fox?

Hope the courses are at least interesting because the characters definetly aren't ;_;

Before I forget: Mercedes-Benz is holding a tourney that'll last till September 23rd for anyone interested. I don't think there's a rule restriction on the parts that you can use, but I bet they're expecting you to use the DLC, especially if you upload Highlight Reels from their tourney. I don't think there are any prizes either, but if you don't have anything better to do, then there ya go.
