YOU'RE IN A THEATER

QUIT USING YOU PHONE

AND FIND AN OUTLET TO PLUG IN YOUR WII U

AND PLAY MARIO KART 8

My local theatre used to do game days. I should see if they still do that for some MK8 goodness.

 

[DedValve]

Yeah, sorry to break this on you, but: There are no options in MK8. It sucks because you can't change a lot of basic features. You can't change the splitscreen orientation, you can't display the map on the TV, you can't display the positions on the TV, either... I really don't know why they've done this.

...well that's just...I mean even for Nintendo that's just absurdly backwards.

 

[Brainfreeze]

Playing Pirahna Plant Slide in this feels so much better than 7 just by nature of having 12 people. One of my favorite retro courses.

 

[Hasney]

Is it just me or are the heavier characters like Wario and DK just almost useless in online matches? Acceleration seems more important.

Heavy with a bike and slicks means yes, it's just you. That is a beastly combination.

 

[blackgandorf]

That's to favorite replays so you can easily find them in mktv.

It's a way to mark the replay of the race as a favorite. You can access those six and the most recent 12 (? blind guess, can't remember right now) races by selecting MKTV in the main menu.

Thanks!

Ive been playing in the neogaf tournament as "Jer" a lot.

Wario has a superior moustache wobble to the other characters so he is obviously the best.

 

[Papercuts]

One of us is a lobby virus right now

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I just want to play Mario Kart brehs

papercuts, stay out, you got enough points as it is

 

[komplanen]

Do characters have stats or jsut the carts?

 

[Mine01]

Uh everytime i get a 12 room con the ot tourney i get a connection error. CAN play global just fine.


Do i still unlock things while inline?

But it reset me to 30, I gotta climb back up.

 

[rnaud]

And I thought I was good at this game. A whole new world just opened.

 

[Kinsei]

Characters do. Maybe this image should be added to the OP.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Do characters have stats or jsut the carts?

Characters have weight classes but not stats I believe

 

[Dereck]

Just expect a lot of GAF footage from me.

[jts]

Loving the game.

Does it really show no maps at all though?

 

[Irminsul]

OK, GAF, show me how bad I really am at this game...

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Why would you ever pick Music Park in the lobby?

 

[Cbajd5]

why wouldn't y'all pick rainbow road

 

[enoki]

Why would you ever pick Music Park in the lobby?

I love Music Park. :I

 

[entremet]

Little details in MK8.

They polished this game to heck.

 

[Roo]

Why does the NeoGAF lobby keeps choosing Electrodrome and Mario Kart Stadium?
From 5 races, 3 are either Electrodrome or MKS.

 

[Not75Drops]

Anyone have the official guide yet? Time to see if there's any hidden stats (there will be) and extra secrets.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I've been doing pretty well today, if it isn't obvious I'm Mauricio.

 

[Azuran]

Music is awesome. That's my only reason for constantly picking those two.

 

[NTom64]

My Wii U bundle should be here tomorrow. Looking forward to having a game or two with you guys.

 

[lt519]

If anyone is interested I want to set up a tournament tonight from 8pm to 9pm EST.

I'll take the first 11 people that PM me and send them the tournament code at 7:30. Refrain from entering the lobby until 8 exactly so no points are scored. This will be standard racing, 150cc, all items, and completely random courses.

Edit: please do not enter unless you can race for the entire hour and are 100% positive you can make it for the whole hour

 

[soulstoner]

I'm trying to get the Golden steering wheel for MP. Once I play with the wheel for 50% of the time, does it stay for good, or do I always have to keep that ratio up?

 

[Birathen]

Uh everytime i get a 12 room con the ot tourney i get a connection error. CAN play global just fine.

Coin collection works online, not sure about the rest.

 

[Tabasco]

These damn errors.

Yea, I really hope they fix this.

I could easily play in the same online group for hours.

 

[daydream]

Fuuuck, stop hurling your crap at me! TimeSplit was done for if you hadn't interfered.

 

[EloquentM]

Seems to be in just the GAF tourney. One of y'all is toxic.

 

[Raxus]

Just unlocked all the tracks on 50cc! Ready to get my butt kicked online.

NNID: dmsilv1

I am still getting used to some of the changes, namely power sliding and the antigrav boost.

 

[Cbajd5]

Fuuuck, stop hurling your crap at me! TimeSplit was done for if you hadn't interfered.

Spoiler

no

 

[ffdgh]

Surprise comeback out of nowhere!

 

[Mine01]

Fui daydream si close ti get 3th

 

[Roo]

Would you guys be ok with a mirror tournament?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Question: Is it always beneficial to both parties if you bump into someone in anti-grav? If not, when isn't it good?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

More like Disconnection Kart 8 amirite

 

[Weng]

Fuuuck, stop hurling your crap at me! TimeSplit was done for if you hadn't interfered.

No one can stop me.

Edit: except for a blue shell

 

[daydream]

Fui daydream si close ti get 3th

That was a mess, lol.

 

[Dereck]

Question: Is it always beneficial to both parties if you bump into someone in anti-grav? If not, when isn't it good?

I can bump into you to get a boost and also knock you off the track.

 

[Papercuts]

JC, net_wrecker and me are like a trifecta that the game just will not allow.

 

[Tabasco]

It happens to me outside of the tourney.

I can't be the only one.

 

[Cbajd5]

DANG IT WE NEED MORE RAINBOW ROAD

WHERE'S ALL THE RAINBOW ROAD

 

[dark_prinny]

Fantastic Races with you guys today. My Mii name is Nietzsche for those of you who asked. Ivé been playing for 5 hours straight so I guess is time for a little break...

 

[ffdgh]

God triple reds are so obnoxious lol.

 

[EloquentM]

It happens to me outside of the tourney.

I can't be the only one.

Well I'm sorry Tabasco. It's not happening to me. You're just too damn spicy for them ninty servers.

 

[Chubby Rain]

YES! First place, I'll take that
