Someone mentioned buying Japanese e-shop codes from play-asia. How is that process?

 

[Brofield]

This is a beautiful OT.

Dumb question, can I preload the digital version of the game?

Ok KartGaf. Add me so I can get in on the fun.

[Stopdoor]

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?

Yeah, the grip is just a shell, invisible to the console (at least the non-charging one).

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Zelda and PuyoPuyoTetris are already beyond what I can make time for, and now this. So psyched, but no clue when I'm playing this.

Btw, do we know if the Mercedes DLC is readily available? If not, how do we unlock it?

 

[Roo]

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

Sorry, we had some issues with the link earlier. Should be fine now

 

[Keyouta]

Damn Amazon apparently isn't shipping the game to me until like the 1st and it'll get to me on the 3rd.

 

[Syinn]

All set. Can't wait to get some games.

 

[PadWarrior]

Hope to see you guys tomorrow!

 

[Greenymac]

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

I have the discord app... how do I get to you guys from there? Kinda new to using it. I use the link in my browser but doesnt bring me to the Gaf discord.

 

[chekhonte]

I haven't played a mario kart in a while, probably double dash. Is the AI still horribly unfair in the 200cc races? This has always turned me off from mario kart.

 

[OmegaFax]

Pending Verification.

C'Mon Japanese Amazon!

Bought from Amazon.co.jp, order has been rejected due to the verification failing 😥

Someone mentioned buying Japanese e-shop codes from play-asia. How is that process?

Amazon Japan must have stepped up their game in the last month. I used the same card/address combo for a 500 yen eShop account earlier this month for Kamiko and didn't have a problem.

It immediately bumped me to the verification phase for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Do not use Apple Store Tokyo as your verification address anymore, I guess.

Anyway. I just wrote Amazon Japan with "Cancel" in both English and Japanese because the page said I could do so during the verification phase. My debit account hasn't been touched.

The digital order did allow me to change payment options. I still have my Google Wallet debit card. The card is a dud and will always reject due to its zero balance and the fact Google discontinued the card.

Ended up switching payments, deleting my original payment, and not worry about it failing or not because the payment likely won't go through regardless now.

Did you have a Japanese address listed on your Amazon.co.jp account before you bought it? Because Amazon.co.jp wont let you buy it without a Japanese address on your Amazon.co.jp account.



Or maybe you have to tell your credit card company that you are making a valid purchase from Amazon.co.jp. I had to do that when I bought some Japanese eshop credit last month.

 

[Hasney]

Wait, they didn't add Waluigi Amiibo support? Pre-order cancelled

Spoiler

not really but I am still bummed.

 

[Interfectum]

First Mario Kart I've played since N64. Lets do this.

I had an address yeah! Shame, I think I'll have to just wait

 

[Gala]

No luck at my local retail stores today, the thirst is real.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Just wanted to pop in and say fuck frantic.

 

[Lurk]

amazon decides to deliver it on Saturday... when I'm a prime user.

Looks like I'll buy tomorrow from store, return amazon copy to store on Saturday.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Sorry I know this question will have been asked.

But can I invite friends and do public MM?

 

[CharminUltra]

The best thing about the title is that it works on multiple levels.

i got a japanese eshop card from play-asia. it was quick and they send you the code fast.

only bad thing is that they don't sell a single card that covers the cost of the game. highest they sell is 5000 yen card iirc.

 

[Papercuts]

Just wanted to pop in and say fuck frantic.

This too.

Kinda curious to see if the item distribution on the normal items is changed, but frantic is god awful either way.

Really? that's weird.
If you're using the browser version, after clicking on the discord link you should be greeted by:

At that point it's only a matter of clicking "accept invite"

edit: maybe you tried joining when the link was broken. Try again now that it's been fixed.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Hope to see you guys tomorrow!

Oh my goodness your avatar has a Switch Pro Controller now

Nice choice

So how much did it set you back in all?

 

[Milly Osworth]

Lets party like its 1992!

 

[LFMartins86]

Sorry I know this question will have been asked.

Friends can join you in a public lobby if there are open spots but you can't invite friends.

 

[Mr. F]

Does Switch do pre-loading, and does this go up at midnight?

Can't waaait.

 

[Hasney]

Just wanted to pop in and say fuck frantic.

Yeah, gonna need a battle mode lobby without that sharpish!

 

[PadWarrior]

Oh my goodness your avatar has a Switch Pro Controller now

Nice choice

Lol thanks!
Had to upgrade.

 

[Degenerate]

My body is ready

 

[DecoReturns]

I'm ready for Luigi to give me a cold blooded stare

 

[Camjo-Z]

RIP fire hopping, now I have no "w-well they were obviously cheating!" excuses to fall back on when I get stomped by fellow GAFers.

 

[Dommel]

prepare yourself, GAF rooms are fucking bonkers

Indeed they are but great fun as well

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Thank you for the answer.

Well, it's a start I guess.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Well I mean...the game is released tomorrow, so I dunno if that's so much thirst as it is just stores not wanting to get penalized for breaking the release date.

[AGoodODST]

Does this go up at midnight? I was going to just pick it up it up at my local Argos but it's sold out it seems so might just go digital.

 

[bubaglobalj]

Amazon says Preparing for Shipment. Come on I need this for the week-end!

 

[LFMartins86]

Does this go up at midnight? I was going to just pick it up it up at my local Argos but it's sold out it seems so might just go digital.

It's very likely, it has gone up in Japan and Australia.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Already at 2000 points in online mode. This game is a blast!

 

[zonq]

I think he referred to the skill in the game, not the Discord activity
