Mario Kart 8 |OT| 8 oW

Papercuts

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
So when can I come round?

Also the way I figure it, you're going to want 3 stars on all the 50cc cups eventually, so might as well get them out the way first.

I read a post somewhere in this thread that said the game will actually fill it in if you do higher difficulties since you are obviously capable of doing lower. But I haven't seen a clear confirmation other than that yet.

how is it with the silly plastic wheel? Going to buy mine from GAME on Friday (they have bonus trade-ins so it'll save me some money), and they give you a wheel for free. Always avoided motion controls because I'm a dinosaur, but are they any good?

Why am I asking on Miiverse when we have this...

How's the time trial leaderboard system? Does it have a proper numeric board as well as the graph system of past games?

Ha, sorry, didn't check Miiverse. It's basically the same as MK7. You can get more information about ghosts now before you challenge them and it seems you can pull them from Miiverse.
Sadly, they removed the "Lucky 7" ghosts feature, I liked that.

I posted some pictures in that Miiverse post.

Edit: When you load them from Miiverse you get a proper list.
 
This is when it's torture... now that some of you have it and all I have are these empty hands!

hope you're all having a great time playing :D

Anyone else preorder from Amazon UK? If so, has your order dispatched? I'm hoping mine dispatches today....I have Prime for this month so I'm wondering if I can expect to receive it tomorrow?

Any Amazon UK'ers having any luck? Mine's not even started processing yet!

Has anyone tried adding the club Nintendo code to a new account to see if it gives a download code? Can't decide between 2 free games, so I may just get 2 copies since it will work out buying one of those at £11.

Big W (Australia) is doing a pretty good deal with this over the weekend, so I may actually be able to buy this on launch now, rather than after E3 like I was originally going to have to do.

I've never gotten any of my nintendo games early from amazon but on the other hand they've never been late either.

Same. I'd imagine they've had their copies sitting there for weeks at this point, which means Nintendo might be a bit less stringent about them sending it out on time. Doubt it though.

Yup. I'm using a Prime trial on it and delivery estimate is Friday, so I doubt they'll start processing them all until tomorrow. Those without Prime/next day will just have to pray first class is on form.

Amazon.de guarenteed that I will get it on Friday even without Prime. If this isnt the case I will rage and will fight for Justice
or a 5 € amazon gift card...

Amazon has never failed me but they also don't seem to process/ship out until the night before. Which seems scary and is why I never get anything early, but it seems to work for them.

I can confirm this.

Yo I almost feel there's no need for these anymore now that almost everyone has the game haha ;__;

Keep going. I'll just take it as "2 days until we can have proper GAF tournaments".

For any NeoGAF members living in the North Vancouver area, were you able to purchase a copy of the game before it's official release date?

Just for info for anyone who ordered from Tesco, I've just had confirmation the Mario Kart Wii U bundle I ordered has been dispatched today.
 
DutchGAF, it's happening! Just received word that my order has been SHIPPED. Unfortunately, due to tomorrows national holiday I won't be getting it before friday EVENING at 8PM. So... yeah, I'll buy watch dogs in the meantime I guess :)

Friday night is going to be amazing. I'm going to shut myself away, turn off all phones etc and just hide in my house with Mario Kart. Dinner will just be a pizza and a big bottle of coke to last me the night. Sleep won't come until I just collapse on the sofa.

The only thing making the wait bearable is that I am a little busy at the moment, but I am still bouncing off the walls like a child.

But mine still does say "Versand in Kürze" and I havent got an email yet :-(

Don't worry, you are not the only one : )
... I shoud maybe steer clear of this thread for now. Me getting sad over receiving a game "as late as" day one is weird, but all of you early receivers make it kinda hard haha.

I don't understand why Amazon.co.uk can't send the game before Thursday when they are shipping it to another country :/ Hopefully I'll get it before Wednesday.
