One more day, guys!

Still bugs me bowser didn't get his car from 3D world.

Wh-

Shit you're right.

Then again I guess Wario lost his iconic car too (but there's a pretty similar one I think). Does Nintendo hate canon cars perhaps...???

Love the boxart but know that Mario Kart 8 will forever be a mainstay in my Switch. Digital or Physical? Halp.

You'll be looking at that beautiful art everytime you turn on your Switch if you get digital so... (this is what I say to convince myself...)
 
thanks

I am kinda torn between MK8D or Splatoon2 getting internal space, Zelda is my only physical game

Which will you play more online? Because there your loading times will be limited by the slowest person in your match. So even if you load a map quickly you'll be waiting around anyway.

I'd probably go MK8 internal, splatoon SD
 
This one:

I swear I never saw Justice saying "FUCK YOU" to someone until that post.

He legitimately made me laugh with that post. Still one of my favorites from GAF lol

I haven't forgotten this. I'm still seething with rage, even two years later. :(
Lol.
After I hit him with the second red shell. I was about to use it on someone else but quickly changed my mind when I passed justice and decided to hit him with my third. I was like, "Wait. I want to hit him with my third one." *goes reverse*

I'm actually surprised Justice didn't get a tag for this, lol
Burning Justice
Inferior Princess

:P
 
Never do this personally but I'm going digital. Even if it's a bit pricey and no sweet box. Mario Kart is somthing I want access to all the time.
 
I just want to play with my boy King Boo already. That and the Battle Mode are the things that are making me the most excited for this game. Battle Mode online sounds like it'll be a total blast to play
 
You mean the fan-made leaks that placed him in the rooster?

Mmm.. no, TCRM found a file in the game's data with Kamek's emblem on it.

An unused emblem for either Kamek or a generic Magikoopa. Neither appears as a playable character in the finished game or DLC packs, so he was probably scrapped during development. Kamek also appeared in prerelease screenshots of Mario Kart 64 (then called "Mario Kart R").

I said twice because he didn't make it in Deluxe either but yay, more Mario swaps!
 
I would like to see some third party guest characters/tracks for DLC. Maybe a Ring Cup with Sonic and a Ghost Cup with Pac-Man.
 
Anybody in the U.K. have any experience of preordering digitally from Shopto? Do you know what time they send their download codes out?

I've used them for 'in stock' digital items before, but never for a preorder. I am using them for MK8D, and I'm crossing my fingers for an automated mail with my code at a tick past midnight tonight.
 
Exactly what I'm hoping for too.

I just raised a ticket with ST asking what's what. I'll update here if they get back to me.

Edit: they got back to me:

Hi ********,

This will be available for you on Friday morning to download onto the console

Laughably vague :D

Edit 2: I politely pressed a little further

Hi ********,

I have looked into this and we have been advised 9am on Friday that these will be available.
 
It's such a shame that digital releases are faster than carts, but I just like cartridges too much.
It's also too bad that you can't install games from carts, but I guess that would mean some kind of shitty DRM to prevent you from installing the game on multiple systems, plus you know some publishers would force mandatory installs on some games as a result.

Anyway, game should arrive tomorrow, yay!
 
Guys really I need the answer if the vr for the second player online can be saved this time around. On Wii U you always had to start from 1000
You can actually save your partner's VR progress on the original/Wii U Mario Kart 8 if you create their own user account via system menu. After that and then selecting "Online - Two Players", choose the Mii(s) with the 1000 (VR at the far right) under "User Mii". From there your partner's VR progress will be saved under that system user. If that doesn't work, you may need to create that user's MK8 save data by booting the game under its name and/or create its own NNID.
Seeing that the Switch offers individual user accounts just like the Wii U, I'll assume the one I just mentioned will also work in MK8 Deluxe splitscreen online.
 
Fnac deliveries arrived in shops. Not sure if they allow to pick it up already, they've been a pain regarding embargo of Nintendo deliveries.
