Mario Kart 8 Deluxe |OT| Deluxe Salt

This is what they offered me

Plus I had like $28 in credit.

Wave off the shipping? That's crazy. I've never heard of them doing that.
 
How do you disable smart steering? I don't an option in the main menu.

Press +/- when selecting a Kart. You should see the option there. And I think you can do it from the Pause menu.

This is what I was saying earlier. No idea why they have it on by default and no mention of it anywhere.

Stupid Amazon, my order didn't get processed until 5am this morning :c

This is especially shitty since I shipped it to my workplace, if it comes tomorrow I won't have it in my hands until Monday

Same. I got on chat and complained about my delay and they extended my Prime membership by a month (about $8.25 value)

I'm on chat with them now and straight up asking them for a credit or extension to my Prime membership, lol. I have no shame.

edit: They gave me a free month of Prime.

People should try their luck. Your bound to get something

As much as they fuck up with deliver, I give them credit they know how to make up for it.

I still wish the game at least had some FXAA, but it definitely looks way better now that it's native 1080p. I no longer feel like I'm going back to a previous gen when I decide to run a few races after playing a PS4 or PC game. $60 worth it for that alone imo.
 
ONCE in aeons Hermes in Germany actually says when they will deliver...between 11:00-13:30....the guy always arrives at 13:30 and if no one is around at my house the neighbours take it...but not today...today the guy gets here at 11:01 and just writes a note "29.04.2017"...
 
Anyone have a list or chart with stats for the new characters/karts? I remember there was some tool someone made to make builds in the last release, not sure if that still exists or has been updated yet though.

I can't make up my mind to go physical or digital.

I was in the same boat, but I chose physical. I'll get the game cheaper, with a great boxart, and I managed to get a free DK mug with it. If I bother too much about card swapping, I'll just resell it and grab the game digitally.
 
Just started playing. Ended up going for digital because I see this being played for a good few years and I like the idea of a quick race after a long Zelda session. Loving it so far. Just good clean fun. Starting on 100cc Grand Prixs because thought 50cc would be too easy. Gonna try and get 1st place in everything and generally get a feel for what character and karts I like before moving onto online. First Mario Kart since Double Dash!

Is there a way to swap items? Or do you have to use the items you pick up in order

DAMN! I've already played 300+ hours of MK8 on Wii U and despite of that, I'm so tempted to go bankrupt to buy a Switch console with this game :'(

Two different Amazon reps guaranteed my copy would be here today(even though my order page says arriving sunday).
This is the last update for the tracking:

I live in Massachusetts. This is definitely not coming today, right?

Lol. Contacted Amazon for the third time, this time via chat. They're still insisting it'll be delivered "by 8pm today or within 24 hours". It's almost noon where I am.

There's a fulfillment center 10 minutes away but I don't think they offer same day delivery here. That's the only way I see me getting it today.
They then offered me a 12.00 refund. I don't know why. That's not the shipping. That's not the credit I used.

I never had problems like this from Amazon. And whenever the slightest issue occurred, CS was always ready to quickly solve it...often giving me more than I felt I deserved. Because of that, I sort of feel like a selfish baby for complaining....but I still want my game today.
The "don't worry, you'll get it today" responses do irk me considering that I have no actual guarantee, I only work until 5, and my work is closed tomorrow so, if it does spill into Saturday, no one will be here to accept it.

impossible. The only way to force a game to save to internal storage is to remove your SD card before you download it.

That being said, I don't really have any problem with SD card on this game. Everything is fast enough. Not sure how much faster the white loading screen would be on internal storage.

Yeah I hear you. I feel the same way since it was loading at fine speeds- just surprised it's not an out-the-gate-feature. Hopefully they fix that. I'd rather use the system storage for stuff I'm currently playing and save the SD card for games that I'm done with, but keeping on the system archived.

So, i asked before but didn't have an answer, i'll try again!

How difficult is it to use friend's ghost, or at least see their time as reference in time trial in the game ?

So wait, is there no need to 3-star everything on 50cc and 100cc? I've going through all that but damn, it's kinda boring. lol

I'm guessing this response is the new standard to tell customers whether it will actually get there that day or not.
 
Managed to take an early break and run out to Best Buy, and picked the game up with zero issues. It was the first thing in front of me right through the door. Also wandered by the Switch section and sure enough, they had stuff there!

So I picked up a Pro Controller while I was there. I shouldn't have, but happy birthday to me damnit.

Looking forward to taking it for a spin in a bit, just made a Mii since I forgot to do that when setting up the Switch apparently. Made me wish for hats...
 
I get that treatment from Amazon all the time. But then again I order from them constantly.

How do you get Amazon to give you stuff?

When I ordered the Master Edition of BOTW they didn't cancel it even though they didn't ship it so I thought I was getting mine, but they didn't and they charged me, they had the amount out of my account for a week and they didn't even freaking apologize.

I paid Amazon 120 bucks for a week so they could string me around. Do you ask for a manager do you say something?

I'm in the exact same boat. The idea of playing this in bed is very tempting.

Not even mad about buying digital after amazons screwup. Load times are soooo good and I want this on the system at all times.

Probably.

I'm especially irritated how this morning, it was "you'll get it by 8 today". At 11:30, it was "you'll get it by 8 today...or in 24 hours". I wonder what they'll say tonight.
