My DK is burning

 

[mcmmaster]

"Players will be able to use voice chat to talk with their friends before and after races" Awww man, no chatting during races

 

[Not75Drops]

Lol Baby Rosalina

 

[munchie64]

Free game when you buy MK8 in EU before the promo ends

Holy shit yes! I assume Australia is in that too? What about US?

America gets a similar promotion but only get to choose from 4 games sadly. Pikmin 3, Windwaker HD, NSMBU and Wii party u. Buy and register between may 30-31. But it seems you can buy a physical copy and register it as well.

Ahh I see.

 

[Hasney]

Just realised that buying on eShop is happening for certain now rather than hunting a cheaper retail deal.

 

[Albo]

Edit: fuck you nintendo, why nw, I need to be revising for exams lol

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Red case confirmed in NA!

 

[mocoworm]

SUPER HORN!

Exactly what was needed to counteract the shells when you are out infront. Good stuff.

 

[cacildo]

Cmon, this needs to come up for NA.

Mario kart + Windwaker......

 

[Akibastman]

Pink Gold Peach is the worst character ever.

 

[moai]

But i thought wii party u was not available to download on eshop......?

 

[BlackJace]

Well that was unexpected.

 

[KojiKnight]

Damn you EU announcer... "May-rio kart!"

Also US MK8 direct since OP listed UK.

[Litri]

Yes!!! I was waiting for something like this, going berserk on info!!!

 

[Graphics Horse]

Yoshi Valley confirmed

Is that the DS Wario Stadium in the Leaf Cup? .

Yes, looked like it in the trailer. unexpected.

 

[The perfect Dark]

This is amazing.

 

[Hasney]

But i thought wii party u was not available to download on eshop......?

Who said that? I own it through eShop.

 

[Gianni Merryman]

This was fast!

I also approve of ditching Ustream in favour of the more reliable Youtube.

I'm starting to watch it now.

 

[Tregard]

The announcer talking about his favourite karts is very unnerving.

 

[Not75Drops]

God the faces of DK in that slow-mo part with the quad...XD

 

[JoeM86]

I'm confused. You guys are saying eShop, but the official twitter posted this

Just says Register.

 

[Lucifon]

Holy shit, the free game deal is from retail and eShop copies! In the Direct the woman outright says "Retail or eShop". You need to be a club nintendo user, and just register the game before July it sounds like.

I feel like people didn't see my post.

[Chindogg]

A Mario Kart Direct on my birthday?

Today's gonna be a good day.

 

[RoySFNR]

[KojiKnight]

[Rebel Leader]

Out of goddamn nowhere!

Goddamn Nintendo

 

[Ban Puncher]

No time for trains!

Woo Woo!

 

[Hasney]

Damn you EU announcer... "May-rio kart!"

Also US MK8 direct since OP listed UK.

I did laugh at "Hindering other automobile drivers".

 

[Always-honest]

Wat? Damn there goes 35 minutes of working time

 

[BGBW]

So I wasn't far off with my Metal Luigi joke...

 

[Starwolf_UK]

EU only???

But EU already got the Super Mario kart deal!!! We have nothing over here!

Thing is UK eShop price will be £49.99 for the game while you can find retail versions for £39.99 (or even eShop download codes from GAME for the that price) if not less as a consequence of RRP not being enforceable (that is called price fixing). Basically we need an added incentive to use the eShop.

Edit: Wait America gets a reduced version of the scheme that works with physical too?
Edit: Wait European is physical too?

 

[blankempathy]

screw it.

 

[ColossalLazy]

This game is so goddamn gorgeous. And holy shit at online options.

 

[Hasney]

I'm confused. You guys are saying eShop, but the official twitter posted this

Oh ace. Probably still be eShop since I bought Super Mario Kart, but will have a quick check to see if I can get it yet cheaper.

 

[Not75Drops]

A leap,
A landing,
Inescapable banana.

 

[Aostia]

OH WOW
I hate this new way of upload Directs without any advice.
Gonna see it now.
Btw, the eshop promo is GREAT, considering the quality of those titles! and don't forget that there was/is also the promo for SuperMarioKart on the VC too.
Too bad I love Nintendo's collector editions and their latest cover for retail games: I've already ordered MK8 retail

EDIT:

I'm confused. You guys are saying eShop, but the official twitter posted this

Wait, WHAT!? if so..:GREAT! I've preordered the game, so I'll register it within the expiration date and I still don't have Game&Wario!!! GREAT!!!

This is awesome, although I own everything except for Wii Party. Either way this is a great promo.

 

[ZiZ]

[Winterfang]

I really want to play this game.

 

[-GJ-]

Mario Kart 9...

 

[Tregard]

Pink Gold Peach is the strangest choice of character in a very long time.

 

[KojiKnight]

This promo guarantees I buy the game at launch... Well Played Nintendo.

 

[Hip Hop]

In!

 

[Exterminieren]

The car showcase is hilariously deadpan in the UK version.

I like new funny Nintendo.

 

[blankempathy]

im an idiot dunno how to put an image up on here but heres a link to the screenshot I took of the games being offered to american gamers for buying and registering mk8. They didn't specifically say it had to be on the eshop either. http://imgur.com/2wOXRNC

 

[jet1911]

I thought that the music in 3D World was great but it seems like Nintendo surpassed themselves once again.
