My fiance would be swearing at me after that, hah.

trust me, there was lots of swearing and i really feared for the gamepad in my gf's hands...

 

[Tea and Toast]

Wtf did just happen tt

So awesome, ha ha.

Amazon UK-er's who didn't get their copy today really need to get in touch with CS. Not that I think it will make much difference, but hopefully they realise they've done a shit job and do something about it.

 

[Blues1990]

GameStop opens in three-and-a-half hours. Gah.

Mine doesn't open for another hour or so, and it's getting to me.

 

[Jito]

Just got my Wii U and updating....

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Weren't the U.S. cases supposed to be red? Maybe they ran our of red ones lol.

Nice.

 

[Chaos17]

played 1hour

am i only one dissapointed by the graphics?

i mean , what amazed me on the videos and screen , is the super clean look , and the lightning.

but in real , its quite jaggy , distract a bit from the rest of the effects.


aanyway its a cool game

You don't have a good tv, do you ?

 

[je_ssi e]

Just got my Wii U and updating....

The wait was suffering. Aha.
It was huuuuge.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Lol, cope

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Just picked up my copy. Gotta finish Wolfenstein and then I will dive right in!

 

[Copenap]

I'm out for now, thanks for playing everyone. Gonna definitely play some more rounds later.

For people who wanne join, Code: 0015-0254-0763

Lol, cope

That was a pretty big fail by me ^^

 

[Vuze]

Downloading Monster Hunter now

Great decision!

Is a Club Nintendo code card packed with these?

Yes

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Two questions. I've beaten all the GPs bar one in 150cc single player mode. How do I keep unlocking characters?

And secondly, how do I shot screen? Does it have to go through Miiverse? That's a bit of a pain if so.

The replays are incredible, though. I was Toad, and Wendy drifts by, and as she does her pupils look over at Toad, then her actual face follows, and then she sneers at him, at which point he (me) boosts away, and her face changes to a determined look. In real time you don't see anything. In super slow-mo the attention to detail is farcical.

You can get a 720p screenshot by pressing Home, opening the Web Browser, then going to any site that accepts image uploads (Minus, Abload, Imgur, even Facebook).

 

[Griss]

You don't have a good tv, do you ?

Ludvig's animations are the best. Love that arrogant little creep.

As for TVs, I have a great TV, fully calibrated, and the jaggies are blatant. It's still the best looking game of the year for me, but the tiniest bit of AA would have gone a long way.

It's rare that I notice jaggies once things get into motion, but I did at first with MK8.

Sweet. That's brilliant, thanks.

wot

lucky...

 

[robot]

Seeing other parts of the track in the far far background with tiny karts battling it out really blew my mind, especially in replays.

 

[K' Dash]

Stuck at work for the next 8 hours, then got to the gym, after that I'll have this and Watch Dogs waiting for me.

Looooooong day ahead

 

[schuelma]

I like this very much

Still waiting here just in case it turns up with the bigger deliveries on the van but, yeah, not too impressed by Amazon recently.

 

[AGoodODST]

Really interested to see how well this game performs and if it shifts any decent amount hardware.

7 more hours here

::continues biting nails::

Chatted just now. "Should be with you later today by fast delivery van, contact us if it isn't there by 5pm". However there are delays in Wales and Yorkshire that may affect things.

Really hoping I get this today - I can't wait any more!

 

[llehuty]

Need more players in here.
Code: 0015-0254-0763

Is this still on?

 

[Exile20]

Anyone willing to do a MKTV thread and MK8 Tournament thread?

 

[sector4]

Weren't the U.S. cases supposed to be red? Maybe they ran our of red ones lol.

Hmm that's the colour of all the cases for Wii U games here :shrug:

 

[Shahadan]

Everyone was Bullet Bill

Wait, code? Does this game not use NNIDs or something?

 

[scarletham]

Anyone get the deluxe bundle? About to go pick mine up.

 

[Roundillo]

I finally get my bundle and I get home, the fucking powers off! Estimated time to fix 4 hours.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Wait, code? Does this game not use NNIDs or something?

That's for online Tournaments.

 

[phanphare]

Wait, code? Does this game not use NNIDs or something?

that's a tournament code

edit:^

 

[Xun]

It surprisingly came through the post today (it was estimated for the 3rd June), but I annoyingly can't play until tomorrow due to work.

 

[tali'zorah84]

Aaaaaaaaaaand it's downloading! Gonna let it run overnight as my internet sucks, can't wait to play this puppy!

Add my NNID if you wanna play online, I'm in Australia (GMT +10): yuuko-245

 

[Angel Abaddon]

Anyone else getting connection errors? Keeps showing the Tournament as empty then booting me off

 

[Rocky]

That's for online Tournaments.

So why not use NNIDs for online Tournaments? I thought FCs were a thing of the past on Wii U.

 

[lensoftruth]

I finally get my bundle and I get home, the fucking powers off! Estimated time to fix 4 hours.

My internet connection died last night at dead on 12 just as the download went up.

Sods law!

 

[Zero148]

Is this still on?

we're five now

 

[superrobot]

Oh man.
Will you need to download an update too.
On my rural connection that took me 26 hours in December

 

[phanphare]

So why not use NNIDs for online Tournaments? I thought FCs were a thing of the past on Wii U.

it's not a friend code it's a tournament code

 

[-tetsuo-]

So can you not make a party with your friends and find a room online?

 

[Cbajd5]

So why not use NNIDs for online Tournaments? I thought FCs were a thing of the past on Wii U.

So everyone in the tournament doesn't have to friend each other? There's still friend racing options that work off of your NNID.

 

[Rosur]

Still waiting here just in case it turns up with the bigger deliveries on the van but, yeah, not too impressed by Amazon recently.

Yea amazon hasn't been to great with release dates... Though my delivery said its been delivered so should be able to play once I get home from work.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Just downloading Sonic Lost world...
So is the music in the e-shop always that or have they changed it specially for Mario Kart 8, becuase it's pretty catchy.

 

[llehuty]

we're five now

I'm one of those ^.^

 

[Zemm]

So why not use NNIDs for online Tournaments? I thought FCs were a thing of the past on Wii U.

Think of it as a password to a room.

 

[Angel Abaddon]

Got my connection working again, but whenever I join the Tournament it sets me up on my own as of no one's there.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

So why not use NNIDs for online Tournaments? I thought FCs were a thing of the past on Wii U.

Everyone uses this code and they all get added to the Tournament. If you want to friend people you still can via NNID.

But if all of GAF is in the same tournament, then we can all play together without even having to add each other. It's like Communities in MK7, Mario Golf, Wii Fit U, etc.

EDIT: "Password to a room" is exactly it.

 

[Canti]

I'm coming last in every race D: (GAF tournie). In my defence it's my first time playing the game, I haven't unlocked anything! Still, good games and great smooth connection.

edit: I won one

 

[mandiller]

It's finally midnight in Australia. I'm downloading the game but it reckons the download will take 3 hours. Oh well. Something to play in the morning then!

 

[akaoni]

Entire experience is pretty polished. Even the waiting between races doesn't feel dull.
