[phanphare]

[Lady Siara]

Really happy to play online in the GAF rooms again. They were so much fun.

Let the salt begin.

 

[Herb Alpert]

just a few hours to go... can't wait!

 

[Azure J]

Never forget.

 

[The Elite]

I got a "Payment Revision Needed" on Amazon Japan's site. The info is correct. I would honestly just prefer to cancel at this point but it doesn't give me that option either.

 

[Wayoshi]

Amazon is doing that thing again where it hasn't shipped my order yet. Please be here tomorrow lol

 

[EroticSushi]

downloading now from the japanese eshop. anyone who wants to jump in

https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01MTASBY4/

Comes out to $52USD an is immediately downloadable. You only need to go through the normal steps to be able to buy from amazon.co.jp

Do you just need to create a Amazon jp account and buy it? Thinking of returning my physical copy and going digital for this.

 

[nubbe]

Racing game of all time

 

[kiri]

Thanks for the amiibo info, I was wondering what additional Mii Costumes would be unlocked...

Spoiler

not that I use them, Rosalina for life

 

[Pejo]

Got this pre-ordered for tomorrow at Best Buy. Will be playing tomorrow night with my GF. The last time I played a Mario Kart with a girlfriend on release was the Wii one, and a different girlfriend. We almost broke up because of it.

TIME TO GET SALTY WHEN SHE BEATS ME!

 

[gooderthanu]

Hey does GameStop do 20% off new games like bestbuy gamer club or Amazon prime? I have 80 GameStop credits but don't want to pay full price for the game

 

[Papercuts]

Waluigi will rise again.

 

[Piccoro]

Cool OT Roo, but you forgot the GOAT controller.

 

[The Omega Man]

Yes I am all in, can't wait!

 

[derder]

This will be available on digital correct?

 

[paragonpro]

Cool OT Roo, but you forgot the GOAT controller.

I honestly dont understand how people get good with this thing, i was garbage with it on wii and never touched it again

 

[Roo]

Since apparently the OT will break the discord link for some reason, I'll keep sharing it the first couple pages so people can quote this post and join the server easier

Tempted, because you can download and play it right now from the japanese eshop.

But I have my cartridge coming from Amazon.com. I can wait, at least that's what I'm telling myself.

 

[KaYotiX]

Damn I'm so ready! Great OP!

My switch is getting alot of play time with all these games

 

[ShadowElliot]

My copy is coming in tomorrow! Can't wait to get my package full of salt!

 

[Majine]

Finally, the very first Mario Kart in HD.

 

[Lorcain]

The sales #'s for deluxe salt will be bonkers. My family will be responsible for 2 of those. We're ready.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Just paid off my copy from GameStop the other day. So hyped for this game and I cannot wait to play it. I never got to play a lot of MK8 and never tried it online.

 

[Mediking]

Buying for my Switch but dang! I wish it was just $40.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

KartGAF

[BBPunjabi816]

[Plum]

Amazing OT!

Can't wait to play some matches with you all, even if I get thoroughly destroyed due to being incredibly rusty.

Hah, what a way to get the game early digitally. And this is going to work for every game with a worldwide release if you're willing to go digital.

 

[Kouriozan]

Had a good time with GAF tournament on Wii U, also I was banned at that time and saw that I angered a few people with my Bowser x)
But then it was fire hopping galore and could only hit 1st with a lot of luck, anyway I recommend everyone to play in GAF tournament.

 

[Machina]

Any you sons a bitches blue shell me, I'mma smack a bitch

 

[Steve McQueen]

Finally, the very first Mario Kart in HD.

WiiU was also HD... 720p

 

[PotionBleue]

Can you use 2 Joy-Con with one in each hand (a bit like Wiimote+Nunchuk) or must they absolutely be embedded in a Joy-Con Grip?

 

[AztecSoul]

Downloading now from the Japanese eShop, kind of excited to kart again!

 

[PlatypusDude]

Skipped out on MK7 and didn't own a Wii U, but played a bit of regular 8 on that with friends who did own a Wii U. Excited to jump back in the Mario Kart fold, especially because the GOAT characters, Dry Bones and King Boo, are back.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Salty People

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Unfortunately there isn't enough new in Deluxe for me to re-buy it, especially after I burnt myself out on the Wii U release, but do know I'm jealous of you that get to experience it for the first time.

 

[JJH]

When Nintendo can't keep stock of Switch's and you see the MK8 GAF community talking smack.

 

[IntelliHeath]

That's us when we get the games tomorrow.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Can you use 2 Joy-Con with one in each hand (a bit like Wiimote+Nunchuk) or must they absolutely be embedded in a Joy-Con Grip?

Standard has no hardware in it, and when the joy cons are separated from the machine, it can't tell if they're doing anything afaik. So split cons are a go.

I'll be using this set up because it's amazing.

 

[Timeaisis]

Looking forward to loosing to you all again. Like 2014 all over.

This is not working for me. Why is there a % in the link?

 

[Majine]

WiiU was also HD... 720p

Wii wasn't in HD you silly goose.

That tablet peripheral didn't help.

 

[victreeb3l]

I just got MK8D delivered from Best Buy :O

I thought it was coming out tomorrow? Anyone else get it early?

 

[arimanius]

Man can't wait. This game was awesome on the Wii U and going to be even better on the Switch.

 

[JaseMath]

Can't wait to online Battle Mode. MK is sort of the perfect game to play during a "break" from gaming.
