Download it before they take it away for it causing seizures.

Spoiler

Really hope they announce more DLC is on the way E3. Classic Battle Mode plus third party reps and courses would be amazing.

Omg totally forgot about the arcade version! Even Ms. Pac-Man appear there! Yeahhhh hope they reveal more content for at E3. Some classic battle mode stages and this MK will be the perfect MK game.

Here's something that some of you guys need to be aware. :x

I'm gonna play the shit out of this after class tomorrow.

 

[Dr Prob]

Is there any easy way to add you guys to my FL so I can play in the GAF lobbies?

To join the GAF lobbies you just need the codes. Once you dial up those codes in the tournament section of the game, join and play once, they'll be saved and you can join whenever you want/the people you play against will automatically appear at the bottom of the in-game friend list so you can follow them into other rooms/worldwides etc.

The new codes should be up shortly after the kart-gaf dorks get the thing downloaded and sorted. Fuck you, Papercuts. Better not see your ass driving around.

Oh God, elder god troll Waluigi's here.

 

[KingSnake]

Nice. The day of the Apocalypse. I can wait to come back from work and play it.

 

[DJKhaled]

how long until this is released? its already the 23rd in australia.

 

[Fandangox]

That OT ;-;

 

[ChrisD]

I thiiiink in about forty minutes? Either forty or an hour and forty.

It's all guesses going off of previous releases, mind you.

 

[Sakura]

You need an external hard drive if you have basic?
I guess I won't play then.
Also I can't remember if I bought both DLCs anyway.

Huh, I always thought Nintendo released stuff in the middle of the day (that is, from the perspective of someone living on the west coast of the US), which would be a good 12 hours from now.

Everyone should have a cheap hdd by now

Well, it is out worldwide at the same time. So it would be the middle of the day for Japan.

 

[Pophead]

The maintenance starts at 12:50 am Pacific Time, so if I go by the last DLC update, should be some within 10 minutes of the maintenance starting that the update will be released.

 

[Gattuso]

My playtime till 2nd DLC releases. :x

since you posted yours i'll post mine:

Spoiler

yes, I didn't reach 1000 hours unfortunately classes are picking up big time right now.

I thought it was midnight sharp PT? But it's almost 1? Dang

If it came in an hour and a half that'd be the same time as the Mewtwo update for Smash.

Sweet mother...

I probably didn't even put that much into my Pokemon games as a kid!

yeah. I wanted to reach 300 hours but didn't make it.

I don't know. :x

Online mode pulled them in and never let go lol.

 

[EatinOlives]

I just learned 200cc is not available for Online with randoms.

That very sadly means I'll almost never play it. I barely touch single player anymore

Wait, so it'll be done at 1am or 2am? I'm confused.

You said it would be done 10 minutes after maintenance starts (1am), but that says maintenance will go to 2am?

Play with us.

Right, the update should be released around 10 minutes during the maintenance period, but the maintenance will still go on to 2am.

 

[BadMediaKarma]

WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!


You're kidding me pls someone confirm

 

[Roo]

Last time, the DLC was available way before the maintenance service was completely done.
I think an hour or two at most but we definitely didn't wait until it was over

 

[Boba2007]

Right, the update should be released around 10 minutes during the maintenance period, but the maintenance will still go on to 2am.

So you can download the update, but the DLC and online stuff will be unavailable until 2am? Is this right?

Is Mario Kart seriously the only game you have on your WiiU?

Geez, I love Mario Kart but not as much as you clearly.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think of the children.

 

[Pophead]

Just the online stuff. The DLC will be available to download during the maintenance period.

 

[Vylash]

WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!

i doubt randoms online can handle 200cc anyway, but i guess we'll see

So you can download the update, but the DLC and online stuff will be unavailable until 2am? Is this right?

i believe you can download the update and the dlc, but online play is disabled until 2am

 

[Spades]

That Sonic Amiibo costume looks brilliant.

 

[Dereck]

I'll download the update then so I'm not downloading both the update and the DLC together.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

I just learned 200cc is not available for Online with randoms.

That's terrible...not even for high VR players?

 

[Boba2007]

Just the online stuff. The DLC will be available to download during the maintenance period.

Got it, thanks for the clarification!

 

[Burning Justice]

All right, Enforced has informed me that he will NOT be on to make the tournaments tonight. This means I will be the one to make them.

I will post them in this thread once I've made them. Since I conveniently enough have the second post in this thread, I will temporarily post them there as well in the event Roo is not on to add them to the OP.

 

[Gattuso]

Is Mario Kart seriously the only game you have on your WiiU?

Geez, I love Mario Kart but not as much as you clearly.

lol. I have 12 other retail games outside of Mario kart and 11 VC games as far as the wii u goes.

 

[sonto340]

Just play in gaf tourney.
Or
You should be able to choose it in custom race in worldwide.

 

[Pophead]

No worries! This stuff can tend to be difficult to explain, glad I finally was able to clarify it.

W-Wat!? I thought it was possible?? I want to cry what is dis!?...

Damn well not a big deal here. 150 cc is perfectly fine during random online matches. Good thing you can play in 200cc on tourneys and here on KartGAF

The downside though, is that if I get used to play on 200cc and go online with randoms at 150cc... is gun' feel really weird and slow as heck.

 

[BadMediaKarma]

Assuming there are enough people playing that mode, yeah.

Is this confirmed?

 

[KNT-Zero]

Soooo, this is the kind of update that is downloaded automatically, right?
