the wait is sucking
Seriously! This game should been out this week. Reviews were done last week.

Just a week to go. Gives me the chance to finish 100% mario 64 DS.
Ugh, just found out that I have to work four hours next Friday
Well I don't get off work till 4 that day. Going to be a struggle to not watch the clock.
The second half of the title is upside down.
Thankfully, I don't have to go in until 2PM (but I get off at 6, so I'll have to deal with people getting off work, sadly), so I'll be able to go pick up the game in the morning whenever Gamestop opens

Meh, not long after launch, people will have every nuance figured out, probably even beyond what the Prima guide outlines, and it'll all be online. It's what happened for MK Wii (though I can't remember how long that took post-launch for pretty much everything to be out there).

I didn't know you had a Wii U. I'm gonna have to beat your ass in this too!
Except I suck at Mario Kart
Oh they definitely will. Almost every time I've gone to a store and bought a Wii U game at checkout I get asked... "You do have a Wii U right? This won't work on Wii."
when i preordered this at gamestop the checkout person asked me if i wanted it on 3ds
i specifically said i wanted to preorder mario kart
Today I played the game in athens at a local shop called Public. They had a Wii U demo station and I though 'maybe they will have something cool'... and there it was. Unfortunately they only had 50cc races so everything was super slow, and I sat waaay to close to the TV so I only saw a jaggy mess, but the controls and the track were amazing. I want to play more now

I went in to Gamestop the other day and pre ordered Watch Dogs on PS4 and Mario Kart, and the guy said "You know this isn't for PS4, right?" -_-
Anyways, put my name on the doc, can not wait to play this game next Friday!

OOOOO. We gotta get someone to translate. Nice looking guide.
Ugh, just found out that I have to work four hours next Friday
Thats about my job as well, including Saturday morning. I'm gonna hit Game not before afternoon, at least it's next to my house!
Ps I forgot to say thanks to Alistair for the OT. Bloody good job mate
Is there an equivalent to MKWii's Flame Runner in this game? As weird as it was, I played the best using it. The drifting was amazing. MK7 didn't completely click with me because I couldn't find the correct parts combo to match it up. If I can get the right parts in this game, I will never stop playing.

Can't anwser that but there are 4 bikes that can inside drift and they all share the same stats.

I'd probably try the Sport Bike first - it's the closest facsimile you're going to find that's available from the start. Keep in mind wheelies are gone now and their drift characteristics have been nerfed, so it won't be exactly the same.

I haven't seen this being talked about anywhere, but I can confirm that the percussion loop that plays when you're far ahead in 1st place from MK7 returns for MK8. It sounds so good in Cloudtop Cruise...
Love that.
