Oh my god rolling here!! hahahaha
 
Holy shit, I only just noticed: in the Rainbow Road video, Luigi spins his cart round knocking Mario, but still manages to fix his eyes on Mario as his kart spins.

Nintendo, you magnificent bastards...

hahaha holy shit, that got scary for a bit

I love that weird music they play when someone gets hit in slow-mo. such a nice touch.

stuff like this is why Nintendo is still The King
 
this thread is so good and what a wonderfully expressive game. the luigi stuff is great but for me the funniest is donkey kong's open mouth as he drives into the flailing metal mario.
 
an excellent choice! don't forget about your free game from club nintendo too!

Thanks :)

2 things I want to note as a Scandinavian person who just bought a Wii-U:

1. If you live in Norway (Not sure if other Scandinavian countries can do this) you are able to take advantage of the free-game promotion. HOWEVER: Club Nintendo is not found in Scandinavian countries. So if you go to the Club Nintendo page to register your game and get the free game, you wont be able to. So go to the norwegian nintendo page and there you will find a place to register your code and pick a free game. This isn't tied to Club Nintendo in any way so you wont get a Club Nintendo membership by doing this. But you will get the free game code (which they send out during the month of August so you wont get it instantly).

2. After a lot of Updating, the console itself, the games, the control-pad-thingie and all the general usability stuff is.. AWESOME. The Wii-U went straight up to first place of contemporary favorite console for me. So if you think Mario Kart is the only thing good about a Wii-U, don't worry. It's VERY worth it. And the fact that a Wii-U is WAY cheaper than PS4 and XBone is.. just awesome.
 
Ok GAF I'll admit you had success because yesterday I finally couldn't hold it any longer and catched a Wii U Mario Kart 8 bundle. To be specific my lovely fiancee surprised me with a Wii U MK8 bundle in her hands after coming home from work!!

That happened to me once with an iMac and I almost literally died. Congratulations!
 
Luigi's theme henceforth is Ridin'! Accept no substitutes.

But this is why I thought that

You think you're special
You do
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it when you laugh at me
Look down on me
You walk around on me
Just one more fight
About your leadership
And I will straight up
Leave your shit
Cause I've had enough of this
And now I'm pissed

Yeah
This time I'm 'a let it all come out
This time I'm 'a stand up and shout
I'm 'a do things my way
It's my way
My way, or the highway
 
Since when is Mario Kart so hardcore? Looking the MK8 videos it's like Cartoon Road Rash!

Nintendo inadvertently(?) created a beast with Luigi Death Stare. Between the utterly ferocious hits MK has always been known for, and now replays of the big hits with slo-mo and such.. it's impossible to not get sucked in. This sort of thing just happens and is almost impossible to plan for.

Can't take credit but made me laugh.

what did you choose? Pikmin 3 right? Tell me it was Pikmin 3.
 
I picked Zelda HD. I'm planning to buy Pikmin 3 with a giftcard that has exactly enough money in it for 1 Wii-U game :D

I'll forgive you then. Zelda is pretty damn awesome too.

Mario 3D world, MK8, Zelda WW HD and Pikmin 3 is a crazily good lineup :)
 
Why can't I get good replays like you guys? Mine don't have nearly enough gifability.

1 luck


2nd:. If luigi hits mario will a shell, edit MKTV to have mario the only character to watch.

For example:
I had the game follow Mario and looked for big hits and got this

I live in Finland and it's the same here, but I just made a UK Club Nintendo account and got my free game there. They don't even ask for an address as long as you don't get any physical items. I didn't want to wait until August, and from UKCN I got the code for Pikmin 3 instantly.

It took a few races for me to get a decent one. It's about the position and distance from who you hit and hope it shows up on the replay. So yeah it's mostly luck.
 
I love how this things blown up. I'm sure Nintendos marketing team is super happy with this. You cant really plan for something like this to go so viral.

Absolutely. Something similar happened when Villager was revealed for Smash. But the Luigi death stare goes beyond that because it's something that I'm sure not even Nintendo has planned. Maybe when they were creating the game and doing the character animations they just casually said: "Nah, just give Luigi a slightly angry looking face to make it different from Mario's expressions" and BOOOM! Now because of that, Luigi is literally more popular than Mario, at least in MK8, haha.
