One thing that's a relief: There doesn't seem to be a world-beating Funky Kong in this game. Large variety of characters and vehicle setups doing well.

Unless there are hidden stats, the worst it can get is class-specific. Like MM and PGP and Miis everywhere.

 

[Tacosmell]

Use the nunchuck for steering, I don't think you can do regular steering with just the Wiimote d-pad.

Unfortunetly, the Wii U Mario Kart 8 bundle does not come with a nunchuck.

I SWEAR TO GOD IF THAT BLUE SHELL HAD HIT ME RIGHT ON THE FINISH LINE

GAF I'd have gotten banned. :lol

I was the one who threw that shell and was disappointed when the explosion was post-finish.

 

[kamakazi5]

Just joined the room. I'm loving this game so far.

WTF, my bullet bill lasted long as hell lmao

Took me from 11th to 4th at the last second

 

[Strider]

Djawed and I are having an intense rivalry n the practice matches. 2 photo finishes back to back.

 

[Papercuts]

Dolphin Shoals has such peaceful music, but the horrors happening on that track are very real.

 

[daripad]

least played tracks in GAF-room history:

that piranna plant slide
wario stadium
sherbert land
things that are not Mt.Wario

Wrong. Today I played in those two courses 6 times each on GAF.

Piranha Plant Slide is deefinitly the least played along Royal Raceway

 

[Jucksalbe]

Unfortunetly, the Wii U Mario Kart 8 bundle does not come with a nunchuck.

I think you can change it in the pause menu.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Welp, I'm done for tonight. I'll see you guys/gals tomorrow tomorrow. Love/hate everyone of you.

Royal Raceway is picked every other game lol

 

[Azure J]

YO THAT ENDING OMG

 

[WonkyPanda]

Man, I cannot get the feel for bikes. Any tips? I feel like I can't adjust when I drift with them.

 

[Berna]

Final stretch blue shells in two races in a row, oh my

 

[Hysterical]

You can do regular control with the d pad just pause the game at the start of the race, and you can switch it in the top right corner

 

[Willkiller]

Diddy Kong's Mii in the shuffle room...the stuff of nightmares. I'll have to fix it with a green shell.

 

[marink]

Finally another first.

 

[Steve Youngblood]

Yeah.. and it ran like shit.

Well, that game ran like shit in single player as well. But once you got past that, the ability to have non split screen multiplayer was very much appreciated. It also demonstrated the unique capabilities of the GamePad. I could be mistaken, but I thought Iwata had recently stated that one thing they needed to do was to make software that really showed off the unique capabilities of the controller that originally served as the focal point of the whole system.

Again, I know that this would have required some sort of performance concession, but it's disappointing all the same.

4 minutes folks! 2969-3541-4777

Says it's closed. Am I doing it wrong?

EDIT: NVM I'm in

 

[JC Lately]

I thought I was ready for you online, GAF.

I was wrong. So wrong.

 

[Smashkirby]

Can someone please tell me how to disable the motion-steering with a Wii remote please.
I bought the wii u mario kart 8 bundle.
Loving the game, but please tell me its possible to use the WII REMOTE like a normal remote and not that crap motion steering....
I hate having to pretend its a steering wheel, i just want to turn with the damn arrows lol.
Can someone tell how i can play without the motion sensing bs. I am playing this with my daughter shes using the pad and im stuck with the wii remote, the motion steering is just NOT precise, its slow slugish and just plain terrible.

Please Neogaf, is there hope?

Pause the game in a middle of a race, right is motion, Left is controller. Not sure if its doable outside a race though

 

[Phire Phox]

Idk how you guys get three stars for the cups in 150cc. the CPU always goes into super cheap mode in one of the races for me.

 

[HolyCheck]

I just thought I'd share one of my MKTV videos.

I've watched a few in MKTV and they generally suck.

This one how ever turned out great, and some how the game decided it was wworth just showing me and toadette over taking eachother several times before a clutch finish!

For the wii remote ?? if this works, thank you a million times friend!

 

[kamakazi5]

I haven't been keeping up but why is drifting disabled? Getting abused already?


Edit: First time using a different vehicle and I wasn't drifting correctly. Carry on.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Man, I cannot get the feel for bikes. Any tips? I feel like I can't adjust when I drift with them.

Depends on the bike. Some have inside-drifting like the Sports Bike. Those take some getting used to.

 

[The Xtortionist]

:llllllllllllllllllllll

 

[Papercuts]

THAT SNIPE

Hold that Xtortion

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Which one of you Donkey Kongs did my piranha planet keep eating?

lol

 

[Willkiller]

I fail to see why they call this tournament mode.

 

[Vanillalite]

Come play in the general GAF room!

Quote to see

 

[Jaded Alyx]

[Azuran]

Omg, which of you DK push me into the wall?!

 

[allday247]

[Soul Beat]

4 Red Shells at the same time? You crazy animals!

It was intense though. lol

 

[radio_apeshot]

Shuffle room here we go!

We have to play the full hour right?

 

[lt519]

Ugh choke job, I wonder how many races we have active? Anyone not playing with rarbusto and how many?

 

[thisisalan]

Ugh choke job, I wonder how many races we have active? Anyone not playing with rarbusto and how many?

I appear to be in a room by myself. Fun times .

 

[Rubixcuba]

Sherbet Land victory!

 

[Azure J]

Iggy Koopa, you monster. How could you hit me with three green shells one of which was shot backwards to hit me on startup? Jerk. :lol

 

[Hysterical]

Ugh choke job, I wonder how many races we have active? Anyone not playing with rarbusto and how many?

Im not. We have a full group in here as well

 

[NewVegasDog]

I can now go through a full race of it without falling in online multiplayer while using motion controls. The track is doable. Play it a couple more times.

Or maybe you're using wheels with very low traction or something? Trying shuffling up your kart parts.

This is gonna sound potentially patronizing, and I apologize if it does, but I'm speaking from experience with somebody struggling with this game at first, so just in case: remember drifing is a thing. It took me most of an hour to get one of my friends to start drifting consistently yesterday. He shot up from consistently near the bottom of the race to consistently in the upper ranks once it clicked for him.

Oh I've been pretty much drifting on pretty much every corner on the track. Though I could've been mostly using wheels with mid-high traction. I guess I'll just practice on the track on time trials when I have some time.

 

[Willkiller]

10 People in that last race :/

 

[radio_apeshot]

[Berordn]

I regret nothing.

(I keep getting nailed by ten things at once the moment I get into a groove D

Yeah, I figured you probably were. Just thought I'd cover all my bases after my experience with my friend.

 

[Mine01]

Time to try a heavy online

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

I wanna play with you guys!
