Awwww yeah!!

NNID "thevillain" if anybody wants somebody to race against.

 

[Baleoce]

add it to the sheet

by the way can I add friends over the browser miiverse or only on the console?

which sheet is that?

 

[Rubixcuba]

Fantastic OP and title. So much hype for Wii U's first big online multi game.

 

[luffeN]

Is there any mention of 2 players playing online on one console?

 

[Zeppeli]

which sheet is that?

Quote the OP. Look in the quoted post, and find the link in the e-mail tags.

 

[BM8]

Yeah, just wanting to keep up discussion while we wait for MK8.

Pikmin 3 I'd buy, but that's gonna be my free game.

np

DKCTF is excellent.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Done

I do it via Miiverse, it's much easier

Yeah but is it possible to add people over the Miiverse-Browsersite?

 

[Sawneeks]

For the list:
NNID: prospitmonarch

It's not tied to your account. You get a code when you register Mario Kart 8 on Club Nintendo so you can give it away if you desire.

Spoiler

I'll gladly take it if you don't want it

Sweet! Looks like I will be giving away the code, then. When MK8 comes out next week just PM me and I will send you a code of your choice. c:

 

[Papercuts]

Really pumped for this. NNID is Papercuts, added to the spreadsheet too. I think I have like 5 friends, lol.

How did you do that with the title

[Jucksalbe]

I can't work out how to edit the google doc on my phone. Can anyone add me? (BowieZ BowieZ Australia (all day, all night when not at work!))

Added you.

 

[wbEMX]

I already have ZombiU, MH3U, SMW3DW, NSMBU, SART, TW101, and Wind Waker... Along with a ton of VC games. Any recommendations for other games?

That's almost every good exclusive title, there's not much left. What comes to my mind is Lego City Undercover, which is pretty good.

 

[Kratos' 2nd cousin]

My

eShop

wallet is ready

 

[Rubixcuba]

Is there any mention of 2 players playing online on one console?

Just like MKWii, two people can play online on one console.

 

[Pila]

I want this game so bad.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Great OP!

America's red box really doesn't fit with the game's blue theme.

 

[Nibel]

[Roo]

I'll add a FAQ section at the end of the OT later today with all the details people might miss like can I play with friends grand prix, how many players for online mode or can I use the gamepad and a friend the TV separately? and stuff like that.

 

[flc]

My hype cannot be contained.

 

[OricWindstar]

Nice.

Anybody know where to get some of that promotional art for the game in high res? Like the one of Mario in the pit-stop?

Getting 1 free download code has me interested in picking up a wii u now. What's the cheapest you can find one? Seems to be some skylander bundles for like 220 US dollars, but it's only the 8gig version of the console. Might be worth it just because of the extreme price difference. Can you connect an external hard-drive to a wii u?

 

[H2intensity]

nice thread and clever title also .... cant wait to blow dat superhorn!!!

 

[Kratos' 2nd cousin]

Also looking forward to selling NSMBU and replacing it with this free digital copy.

 

[Ragus]

Is it possible to play split screen and online multiplayer at the same time?

 

[Bubble Walrus]

I can't take the wait! Please be next week, already.

 

[Jagsrock]

Ahhh yesss been waiting for this thread. So hyped.

You can get a refurbished 32 GB Wii U with Nintendo Land from their online store for $200. My friend got one and said the condition was great.

 

[Zeppeli]

Split screen with 2 players online

 

[vinnygambini]

Yeah but is it possible to add people over the Miiverse-Browsersite?

Good question, I don't know

Never saw the utility in using the browser version, I shall let you investigate

 

[Exentryk]

Gorgeous OT. Like the title too lol.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Yesssss! NNID is AkimbO_LUC, gotta fill up that list now.

#TeamBlueShell

 

[Jucksalbe]

What's the maximum number of friends you can have on WiiU? 100?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Really am not understanding how to add myself in the google doc

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

What's the maximum number of friends you can have on WiiU? 100?

yes.

 

[Celine]

As a reviewer I'm still playing the shit out of this and I'm waiting for you guys! All HEIL MOUNT WARIO (best track ever made)!

How is the racing part of this MK?

 

[OricWindstar]

What's the maximum number of friends you can have on WiiU? 100?

Yeah, which is unfortunate.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Good question, I don't know

Well after investigating and googling for 20 seconds I will just say no

 

[Jucksalbe]

yes.

Ah, well, still plenty of room left.

 

[BowieZ]

Added you.

Unless you're going to go nuts downloading heaps of digital content, there's no need for the deluxe 32GB model. Both models will likely need a USB stick/drive at some point anyway.

 

[Thoraxes]

My NNID is Thoraxes.

Also incredible thread title lol

 

[DecoReturns]

Dude, I feel you. I've only been here a little more than a week and still feel like I'm on pins and needles. Hope your stay at GAF is a long one and I hope I see you on the road sometime!

That's how I feel every time I post. Thanks, can't wait to show off my Mario Kart skills with actual Wii U owners!

 

[bomma_man]

So the og classic controller doesn't work? Shit

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

Got my wii u last month for this game, my NNID is WhatANiceName, please add me if you ever want to play with me because I don't have any friends on my wii u yet.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Games like these are always "Game of the Year" frontrunners to me because you can play them forever.

You know how tons here are THAT pumped for Smash???

THIS is my Smash.

 

[Jucksalbe]

So the og classic controller doesn't work? Shit

It even says in the OP that it works.

 

[Aostia]

so, what is better? the game, or the wonderful OP?
congrats!

Sounds good enough for me. Thanks!

 

[Azuran]

It does work.

 

[Sendou]

It even says in the OP that it works.

To be fair it's easy to miss. It's only that / that makes the difference.

Nice OP! Mario Kart is one of my favorite franchises and it really seems like they outdid themselves this time. Can't wait to get on track with some gaffers.

 

[MisterM]

Ohhhh boy!

A week today until I get my Wii U w/ Mario Kart 8. So much hype!

 

[Blues1990]

Where in Canada are you, friendo?

Yeah, I should have mentioned I'm residing in Vancouver, BC, so it's unlikely I can take a flight to Toronto to claim my prize, so I'm hoping that someone here might be willing to sell their shell for a reasonable price.
