Well, the Wii U needs every PR, sure can be happy about its brightest game being featured on TV "news".

Man, DK Jungle was a shit show.
Another highlight video, this time from a single player GP race. Super clutch ending because if Yoshi got first I wouldn't have gotten 3-stars (at least I think so?) for the Leaf Cup GP.

I hope that's not the case when you get to 9K VR ><;
Can't say i'm complaining. It's nice not having everything thrown at me all the time.
I think you were lagging pretty bad. I saw you get hit really late, as if you just tripped over yourself.
Maybe you were copying the battle one?
I copied all of the community codes and the only one that didn't work was Neogaf Race.
I'm barely at 2000. Already know it's only going to get worse -_-
Does the game actually try and match you up with people around the same VR as you? I've been in a room where someone had 3800 and another person had 980.
Yeah, I played some randoms and won almost every time.
A shame I can't boost (or lower...) my score agaisnt GAF.

Give it time. The sites all sorts of messed up cuz of the deal. I got the same notification and still was able to claim my game.
Do you have the yoshi valley bomb one?

The best part about GAFcc is that you'll be in one group and holding your own, switch to another group because lolconnerror and sweep the fuck out of it all, switch to another group because "I want new parts/a different character" and all of a sudden you're essentially asked to diffuse a bomb while hurtling through the upper atmosphere while being asked to pass a spaceship through a kiddie pool filled with microscopic piranha.
The intensity fluctuates wildly. :lol

Oh wow, yes. Your post prompted me to give regional random a shot again. One of the most striking differences is the long wait after the race is over while everyone finishes.
Yeah the new one is definitely great. Certainly better than the wii version.
As for your vr question....No Idea.
It can't beat the N64 one for me, but I am most certainly warming up to it. That jump shortcut is too fun.
New RR is inferior to GOAT 7 one.
All of which are inferior to Electrodome. Clap your hands everyone!

I saw this for the first time while going through some E-dome ghosts and I'm fucking peeved that something like this made it through.
I feel like they're both great even though I still feel a bit slighted that Rainbow Road 64 got the one lap three segments treatment. The things they did to the design of that course just feel right and finally make it more than just a long empty expanse. All the same, half of the original appeal for me was in the idea of a dramatic endurance race and with all of the unique track dynamics going on in 8's version, it's upsetting that there's no way to extend the number of laps to accomplish this feat.
Rainbow Road 8 started off as the level that would consistently kick the shit out of me but once I understood that it's basically LRN2DRIFT the level and I finally got used to deep drifting, it became the closest thing to F-Zero Nintendo has put out in years.

Fuck second place
Yes, I'm going to trade my red shell for Papercuts' item when the person behind me has 3 green shells

Its one of my favorite tracks. I actually really like both RR's.
Any track where 12 players are drifting behind each other, and slamming into each other, spinning around, while in anti-grav, are some of the best moments in this game.
