Fun games on the Race OT, guys. Takin' a break for a bit though.

Did someone bob-bomb me mid air on Electrodrome there? Good aim haha.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

fuck whoever threw that lightning bolt on electrodrome

 

[Nicktendo86]

This doesn't have off TV play does it

 

[RoySFNR]

Damn you lightning guy! I had this one!

On the same note, uploaded some clips which basically summarize racing in the GAF tournament lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MCwb2mrNwI

You can do two player off tv, where both share the gamepad as a screen using other controllers.

LOVIN' it
I only ever played the console iterations, and as such I missed out on the underwater features and air-time features (hang glider stuff).

Check out this GIF I made—I'm playing as Luigi, and I manage to squeak by Mario in the final few feet of the race to take it all.

So good. Would've been heartbreaking for Mario if it was online.

That was smooth, wow.

 

[B00TE]

that was the craziest yoshi valley race ever, hahaha

 

[PadWarrior]

Is there a phone number for club nintendo? I can't get my code for Zelda. I log in and it says my code was already redeemed.

 

[blitz64]

Yes, it does. You can play this game without a TV.

 

[Gurrry]

Man. I always lose my high place in the final seconds. Every single time.

Rage

 

[Sadist]

Ah so close at B00TE and I get hit. Damn game.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

That was a great Electrodrome race. I'm working on uploading a highlights reel as we speak.

 

[Phamit]

Bowsers fireball killed me in yoshis valley

 

[Hasney]

Here's a different Sunshine Airport, focus on the top 4

[ViewtifulJC]

I ran over a shyguy as a shyguy

 

[Nicktendo86]

Yes, it does. You can play this game without a TV.

How? I can see the little strewn in the corner, can you make if full screen?

 

[DedValve]

I have a question.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy and it won't come until next week at the earliest! Since I'm seeing no cancel option on it I guess I have to ship it back to it whenever it arrives? Would they allow that? I also redeemed the $10 gift card promotion but haven't used it yet (though I'm not sure how much that matters).

I really just want to go to gamestop and buy the game today. I'm not waiting no damn 2 weeks after launch.

I contacted Bestbuy late 29th/early 30th but I won't get an answer until wed-thursday the earliest. Man fuck bestbuy, I should have stuck with Amazon Prime.

Just bumping this in case it got lost in the giddy of all you lucky fools playing

 

[bobbychalkers]

Losing against GAF people has hardened me for random matches. Provided that items don't get in the way, I can consistently hit top 3.

 

[Clockwork5]

This is crack. Also nice lightning at the end. I gained 3 spots!

 

[TMC]

How? I can see the little strewn in the corner, can you make if full screen?

Yep, tap it.

 

[TheSlySoul]

So I went in 100CC not realizing you got 50CC trophies as well. I was worried about character unlocks, but you can go to any 50 CC you have not played and get new characters. So just a heads up!

 

[Kouichi]

y no mt wario

 

[Nicktendo86]

Yep, tap it.

Mind. Blown.

 

[Spinluck]

Man you can have all the luck sometimes, and then have absolutely none the next race lol. When that happens, it's a really ugly thing.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I haven't played a lot yet but Electrodome is definitely my weakest track right now. Played it thrice and have drifted into the abyss 4 times total.

Speaking of, I love how falling into a pit doesn't screw you over all that much compared to older iterations. Never played 7 so I don't know if that's new.

 

[Volcynika]

I remember a race where I got nothing but MUSHROOMS. It was the worst ;_;

 

[Brizzo24]

So good. I bet Mario was pissed. Was this online?

haha, I WISH! It was not online. I only just got the game, and plan on playing through each of the 8 cups at least once before going online

2 things...

How do you pop a wheelie on a motorcycle using the Gamepad controller?

Best way to get a fast start? I start gassing right at the 2 second mark, but I know there's a way to get an even better jump start.

 

[Exentryk]

Blue shell is awesome XD

 

[B00TE]

That last stretch of mount wario is always the best. So much yelling.

 

[Mine01]

Keep the best buy one sealed and resell it to a friend?.

No more manual wheelies. They only happen when you get a boost.

 

[Hispanicguy]

That lightning at the end! It actually helped me get first, lol

 

[Ouroboros]

Just pulled the trigger on purchasing MK8. For anyone who hasn't, ToysRus.com is having a deal giving you 40% off another WiiU game while purchasing MK8 (and free shipping for some reason). I got Wonderful101...turns out to only be $18.

 

[Brizzo24]

Explains a lot. I tried pushing every button, even the thumb sticks down. Good to know.

 

[blitz64]

How? I can see the little strewn in the corner, can you make if full screen?

Yes, tap it to make it full screen.

You can also tap the minimap to make it full screen.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

how are the coins collected counted?

A) Every Coin you collect, even if you lose them by getting hit

B) Only the Coins you finish a race with

which one?

 

[TMC]

y no mt wario

My thoughts exactly.

 

[DedValve]

Don't got anyone close by with a wiiU and shipping would lead to extra costs (and I'd have to sell it cheaper than retail which means I lose money in the end).

 

[B00TE]

I hope whoever hit me out of the air when I had three bananas on me saves that as a replay, that was so sick lol

 

[Beelzebufo]

B

Also, having trouble uploading videos, but I'll get around to it I'm sure. Some of these are great.

 

[Gurrry]

Omg i did it!! 1st place against gaf on cloud level!!!

Hahahahaha yayyyy

 

[Nicktendo86]

Yes, tap it to make it full screen.

You can also tap the minimap to make it full screen.

The map as well? Man why didn't I try earlier...

 

[Exentryk]

I hate that dolphin level >.<

 

[Sadist]

I hate that dolphin level >.<

Haha, it became pretty hectic at the end

 

[B00TE]

I hate that dolphin level >.<

But it's so fun!

Taking a break for now, gg's dudes.

 

[Gurrry]

Went from 2nd to 9th two feet from the finish line.


God this game sometimes

 

[duck_sauce]

Who hit me with that red shell? Grrrrr


(emi here)
