Mario Kart 8

Surprised this doesn't have a thread of it's own.

How many posters have the game?

I have created a tournament on the offchance a few of us have it.

TPWW Championship. Every Sunday Sunday SUNDAY at 7pm UK time, which is 11am on the westcoast of the US and 2pm on the eastcoast. It runs for 3 hours each week but is accessible anytime for unranked TPWW only races. Also has its own private Miiverse forum.
Code: 0668-7470-5005

Had a bash at it, was stolen away for a birthday gift though. I would rather be humbled by people I know than random Japanese kids though so might join your tournament.

What's your Nintendo Network name? I only have Kalyx and Hasney from TPWW in my friend list. I'm unsure how many people even have a Wii U here.

I have no idea, I've had it on a dozen times since last Christmas.

If you go to your friend list and select yourself, it should be listed there.

I'll try to make the tourny, though I usually game that early.

This game is liquid fun. Had a 4plyr seesion last night.

06-21-2014 06:08 PM

My only concern is numbers. I think there are just 4 of us. Me, you, Hasney and Whitey.

First ones started.I'll hang around for a few minutes and go if no one shows up.

I played the shit outta some MK64 this weekend and schooled some bitches as my main dino Yoshi. #powerslides

Do not own a Wii U but felt like sharing.

More people should probably buy one.

Come Zelda and Smash it will get around.

I've spoken to a few people about it. Some didn't know it existed, others didn't know it was a whole new thing and some just couldn't get past the name and were put off.

I have it, I love it so much. I'm down for some online play - been wanting to check that out and see what's up.

You can send me a friend request. My Wii U name is the same as my TPWW name. The more, the merrier.

I was sent a friend request by someone a few days ago. I'm unsure if it's you or not.

Played for the first time this weekend. Very impressed. Seems an odd decision to have ALL the Koopalings; not a complaint just didn't realize there was that kind of demand for them or whatever.

Drakul

07-21-2014 03:02 PM

It's cool they're in but I'm sure it's roster padding so characters like Birdo, Diddy etc can be sold later as either DLC or Amiibo figures.

I'd rather have the Koopalings as padding over the baby and metal characters as padding.

I really hope that Diddy Kong DLC happens.

For those in Europe/UK, the free Mercedes DLC car pack arrives on August 27th. A patch is also expected to arrive soon for all regions.

Quote:

Mario Kart 8's upcoming Mercedes-Benz DLC will be available in the UK from 27th August, Nintendo has announced.

The free add-on contains three cars - the previously-shown Mercedes-Benz GLA, plus the 1950s 300 SL Roadster and the 1930s Silver Arrow.

Nintendo is also taking the opportunity to bring some fan-requested tweaks to the game, such as the option to display course maps on your TV screen.

A new stats page will show you your total number of coins, your online win-loss record and your favourite racer.

Mario Kart 8 will now save your most-recent kart settings between play sessions - so there's no more setting up your racer every time you load the game.

The menu options for "Next Race" and "Watch Highlight Reel" will be switched - a much-requested change by fans - and you'll be able to alter options for other user's highlight reels to watch different characters or events.

Finally, online multiplayer stability will also be improved.

The free DLC pack arrives in North America on the same date as well.

A bunch of potential DLC stuff was supposedly discovered by hackers recently. Only images were found but could give an idea of what Nintendo could be planning for future DLC for the game.

Quote:

Luckily, though, Nintendo’s latest racer could still see some real downloadable content thanks to a group of curious hackers discovering “ym_CupIconDLC_130x130^h.bflim" in the game’s code.

But if the words “CupIconDLC” aren’t convincing enough, the actual images of four cup logos found in the game’s code were revealed (which can be seen below). The icons show a Yoshi’s Egg, a Shine Sprite, a Boo, and a Blue Shell - and if legit, racers could have a total of 16 new tracks on their hands. Fans have speculated the icons could represent difficulty of the cup; Yoshi’s Egg being the easiest, and the Blue Shell the hardest.

What’s more, according to the hackers’ post on the Mario Kart Boards, “there are 16 full size graphics of 12 Marios on the start line of Mario Circuit with the word ‘SAMPLE’ plastered across. All of these images are labeled “DLC” as well and are probably placeholders that may one day be replaced with brand new track images.”

The post also mentioned the team discovered potential plans for Mii costumes, noting the likes of Shy Guy, and Yoshi.

I really hope they make some new tracks. Would make a great game even better.

Sepholio

08-15-2014 07:56 PM

Also really wish they would make a new Diddy Kong Racing, as well. I miss that game and it's hub-world layout.

The Shine Sprite makes me think it'll be retro tracks DLC.

Poit	08-25-2014 08:01 PM

I've played this a few times recently, but I don't yet own it. It seems pretty fun, but definitely bewildering at first. I've barely played Mario Kart games since the N64 version, so there's a lot of new stuff.

This game is fun dried up and powered and snorted thru a McDonalds straw.

DLC!

Quote:

Each Add On Content pack will contain two new cups, each with four courses, which, in total, increases the number of available courses by 50 per cent. The Add On Content packs include classics like Wario's Gold Mine from Mario Kart Wii, as well as new courses, some taking place in the worlds of The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing. New vehicles will also arrive with each pack, including the Blue Falcon kart representing the F-Zero franchise in the first AOC pack.

As a bonus for purchasing both packs - as a bundle or separately - you can get eight different-coloured Yoshis and eight different-coloured Shy Guys that can be used right away.

It's going to be weird playing as Link in a car or on a bike.

I wonder if Zelda and AC themed weapons would be too much. Pitfalls from AC to hide on the track and the hookshot from Zelda to drag you towards whoever you catch with it or reel them back to you to close the gap.

Cool King

08-26-2014 06:22 PM

Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach?

As if three variations of Mario and Peach weren't already enough.

Cool King

08-26-2014 06:23 PM

I am assuming though that the different coloured Yoshi's and Shy Guy's won't be like the various Mario's and Peach's, but will basically be just a case of selecting either Yoshi or Shy Guy and then selecting a colour.

Also, I will add that Dry Bowser looks pretty cool.

I get the feeling that this could be the beginning of them slowly introducing characters to the franchise that are outside of the Mario Universe. Maybe we'll see this franchise be pretty much like Smash Bros. but on wheels, in the future.

Just noticed one of the tracks appears to be from F-Zero.
