That 150cc room was wild. Holding on to 7th place with all you've got.

 

[The perfect Dark]

ahaha I'm sorry for the red an the blue bahamut, lmao.

 

[PadWarrior]

I just picked up the game at lunch and am back at work for another 4 hours

I hate you all right now

I'm in the same boat lol

 

[jonno394]

I've gotta say I had minor concerns about using single joy cons for multi player but the shoulder buttons, slide grips adding that little bit more height and an analog stick (thinking in contrast to a sideways Wii controller, for example) make them spot on. Singlep player I'll still be going double joycon but they work perfect sideways.

Yeah three big blokes here all played with an itty bitty joycon and found it fine.

Reposting for a new page with an edit:

"Anyone got a good crash-course on Kart and Part choices? I understand weight class, but have no idea when I'm screwing myself over with kart & part choices. Is it better to shoot for middle of the road? Acceleration? Grip? Speed? I'm having a serious paradox of choice here and it's stressing me out."

Addition --> I'm not looking for individual stat breakdowns to Min/Max, I'm just looking for general advice! With heavy characters should you stack a specific stat? What about medium or light?





Step 1: go to local store that sells Mario Kart.
Step 2: Buy it and save the receipt.
Step 3: Enjoy Mario Kart!
Step 4: When the Amazon copy shows up "return" it to local store as your purchased copy.

I'll just return it to amazon.

I really wish LAN mode supported 4 players per Switch. I have a game night scheduled for tomorrow and one of the games was going to be Mario Kart 8 with 8 players across 2 Switches. Disappointed!

 

[Jazzem]

Trying to join friends in a full lobby is the worst.

Just have to mash the A button until someone leaves and it lets you join =/

"The target device cannot accept any more connections"

Yup, that's driving me nuts as well =/

 

[Nyteshade517]

probably going to quit soon if I'm just gonna keep getting last place

not any fun in that

 

[Unison]

Playing Battle Mode, I remembered some discussion from Nintendo about how the increase in Switch RAM supposedly allowed for the double items... I wonder if that also explains the bad Battle Mode in the original game.

In any case, incredible port... and a new king for the Best Looking Portable Game crown.

 

[ktroopa]

Damn this game looks beautiful! Plays real good too.
Well done Nintendo.

"The target device cannot accept any more connections"

Yeah, this is easily my biggest problem right now

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Dammit Boot!

 

[FrsDvl]

I'm getting nothing but communication errors. Connection is fine, NAT is A. Any way to fix this? I just want to play online!

 

[Nyteshade517]

this will be my last race

 

[phanphare]

I picked up the joy-con wheels mainly for my 3-year old and it turns out they also make the individual joy-cons super usable as normal controllers. In addition to providing a better grip, they also provide real, normal sized shoulder buttons:

huh

never thought of that

::scratches chin::

 

[chekhonte]

Switched the switch to the 5ghz router and it doubled the speed of the download if anybody was waiting impatiently.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

JCH that's some good aim

 

[Vic]

Wow, I absolutely suck at this game (online). Need to get better.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

I've got to learn how to not get so frustrated at this shit lol

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Where is everyone sharing friend codes? If love to play with gaf.

 

[Omnicent]

Yeah, this is easily my biggest problem right now

kepp trying there is a open room in the 150cc with me and 2 others.

 

[Nyteshade517]

thanks for the races...hopefully next time I can do better than just 99% last place

 

[DownWithTheShip]

Yeah, this is easily my biggest problem right now

I'm still not clear on how to play with friends. Do you have to join a lobby already in progress, or can you start an online game with just friends?

 

[Ninja Dom]

Hey you lot, I'm waiting for you all right now in the GAF Battle lobby.

 

[Zemm]

Is there really no way to swap weapons when you have two? God that's fucking stupid if not.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Need friends on Switch

No lurkers please, gaffers only.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I suck at Battle Mode, but I love playing it online.

Still man, seeing your points go down is demoralising.

 

[Draper]

Whelp...status still says it'll be delivered today.

Still hasn't shipped...

 

[Sir Abacus]

It is unbelievable how good this game looks compared to its Wii U brethren.

 

[The Horror the horror]

Has anyone tried to leave auto-acceleration on with the occasional tap of the brakes for control (as opposed to pressing the accelerator button down continuously) ?

 

[Psykoboy2]

Don't know if I wanna go physical or digital on this. Even still, use internal memory or card? So many decisions!

 

[Experien]

Balloon Battle felt funny. At least one of the courses felt like it would've been better with more than 4 players.

 

[Neoxon]

Got the game, but I need to get some kart parts before going online.

 

[DoT2]

So is there a way to swap your two items, or are you restricted to using the first one every time before you can use the second item?

 

[oatmeal]

Played it for 2.5 hours on a plane. 26% left after landing.

Looks and plays great handheld.

 

[B00TE]

kepp trying there is a open room in the 150cc with me and 2 others.

Oh yeah, I'm in there but earlier trying to join Lren and PreyingShark was a nightmare (in randoms).

 

[Tathanen]

Just played on a TV for the first time...

OH MY GOD THEY'VE RE-DONE THE SOUND MIXING!

Literally my biggest complaint, megaton, now MK8 is nothing but greatness. There are many small, subtle fixes throughout. Love it. 10/10.

Can you talk more about this? Interested to know how they adjusted the mix.

 

[blitz64]

is online race 100cc, 150cc, or 200cc?

 

[KHlover]

whew, that was a close one, ray

 

[Lord Frieza]

Just got my copy in the mail, can't wait to play some. It's been so long since I played a Mario Kart.

 

[Armaly]

Is there anything faster than 200c? Still seems slow.

 

[BizzyBum]

Just got an e-mail from Amazon saying it's being shipped on May 3rd now.

Amazon fucking sucks sometimes.

 

[jonno394]

Mario kart is now the best selling videogame of the year on amazon.com, wow

 

[Pops Maellard]

Dumb question but I'm assuming this isn't hard to get at retail? I don't get off of work until 2 and won't be able to make a Target/Best Buy until around then.

 

[D23]

my jaw literally dropped playing this on handheld mode! wtf!

 

[blame space]

I just want to go on record as saying FUCK baby Mario

 

[KHlover]

welp, this one not so much lol

 

[Patrick Bateman]

is online race 100cc, 150cc, or 200cc?

You can choose it.

 

[Sir Abacus]

Mario kart is now the best selling videogame of the year on amazon.com, wow

Best selling game of the year on Amazon? Am I the only person going 100% digital and just keeping my BOTW cart in the Switch?

I've still got 168GB free on a 200GB card with half a dozen games so far.

 

[Hasney]

I'm getting nothing but communication errors. Connection is fine, NAT is A. Any way to fix this? I just want to play online!

Have you tried a full restart? Fixed it during Splatoon 2 for me.
