Indeed. All's well that ends well. Since the Lagann Blu-ray set was delayed, I've had some cash spare so I don't mind the extra that it costs lol. I just hope they're more punctual than Anime Limited

Going to watch X-Men in a few hours and maybe tomorrow I'll pop in my Mononoke Blu-ray. Should help with the time. Blu-ray collectors needn't worry about entertainment!

Hahaha! Too right my man. Always something to spend on isn't there?

Enjoy the film today and Mononoke for sure!

 

[marc^o^]

yes. Other than Game & Wario, Mario & Sonic winter olympics and Mario Party, I have everything else digitally. So rather than simply not use the offer, I figured a few pounds back by trading in Zelda (which I'd then get back free when registering MK8).

I'm doing the same, trading NSMBU so that I can get it digitally (and buy Luigi now I have this extra convenience).

 

[Sadist]

Oh fudge

I just got a text from GameMania, I can pick it up. But I can't right now and tomorrow all stores will be closed.

Grrmbl

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

MK8 is now an official Miiverse community...you can post comments now!

I'm awaiting the inevitable F-Zero posts.

 

[MicH]

How many hours until EU midnight release?

Does about 40 sound right?

32 hours until Friday midnight CET
33 hours BST

 

[Jofamo]

I think G-force next to central station are ment to be selling it.

Picked mine up from there at 1 o'clock. Heard the guy say they only had 8 copies left (out of around 40 they got in), but that they'll get another 40 tomorrow.

Ludwig is awesome. Riding a teddy bear kart like a man, crushing blue shells and completing the deed with a "bye bitch!" gesture.
Also, dat laugh.

Haha, he looks great.

Exclusive Mario Kart 8 Bundle - Limited Edition (Small T-Shirt) [Games Wii-U] Awaiting Despatch Est: 30/05/2014 1 / 1 £59.99

Goddamn Nintendo. I'm fucked for getting it on Friday aren't I?

 

[Revven]

Seeing so many people get the game early in this thread is making this SO HARD. ;_;

 

[orioto]

So.. shit, i had to buy the WiiU for that game. Just ordered it. I mean there are things you cannot ignore..

 

[Rösti]

Just ordered this. Excited to get some races going.

 

[Forkball]

I may main Metal Mario. Don't judge me.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Anyone know any Houston stores selling already?

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Shame that the Twin Cities suck so bad for finding most games before their street dates. At least it's forcing me to go digital which is probably the best result anyways as it'll be nice having it always available + the DDP reward is also nice..

Good Art. Can't be ignored.

 

[KingSnake]

Finally found this beauty waiting for me in MediaMarkt Wien (Mitte).

 

[Shahadan]

He's got that Iwata hair too. What a boss

Mind blown :lol:
I knew he reminded me of someone but couldn't put my finger on it

 

[Mailenstein]

That install takes aaaaaaages D: ....

 

[Copenap]

Got it

 

[daydream]

Mind blown :lol:

You sure he didn't remind you of, like, Beethoven. You know.. the obvious inspiration?

 

[Debs]

Correct, just spoke to them via live chat, all orders are being sent today

Does that include the Mario Kart console bundle too?

 

[Shaii]

None of the Danish shops in my area are caving in.. The waiting is just unbearable...

Spoiler

I'm getting desperate, someone please help....

 

[Mik3F]

My ShopTo order just changed to complete, no email or text as of yet

 

[Shahadan]

Hair is closer to Iwata's old haircut in my mind

Yeah, Danish stores never sell stuff before release :/ I'm just waiting for Friday at this point

 

[Shaii]

Kolding area.. One of them always caves in.. Happened with Pokémon XY, Tomb Raider, Tropical Freeze and Infamous just to name a few..

Of course it would be too much to ask for it to happen with the game I've been hyped about for about a year. Just fantastic...

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

I don't know if I should bite the bullet on the MK8 bundle. I've wanted a Wii U for a while and was going to get myself something with some of my grad money and save the rest. I am so torn as to what to do.

 

[extralite]

Currently downloading. Gamepad says 28 minutes left.

 

[Stormwatch]

I just got back from GameStop where I traded in Wind Waker HD towards MK8 since I already own all the free games and that one had the most resale value. I was talking with the guy at the register there and he mentioned that NOBODY knows about that deal to get the free game. He said that Nintendo didn't send them any promotional materials about it and it is really only spreading by word of mouth. I'm surprised they really aren't pushing that aspect of the game purchase. Their commercials don't even mention it!

That's very unfortunate, if true. Nintendo should be hammering that point home relentlessly...

Oh, lucky! Nothing like that ever happens in Roskilde

I love the reference inspirations for the Koopa Kids but some of them are so 80's I doubt people will understand all of them (Morton's for instance). Ludwig's is the most timeless of the group I think.

 

[evanmisha]

My Elgato is almost here, just in time to stream my Mario Kart 8 midnight release party. Hype levels reaching critical mass

 

[extralite]

wait what? Download now?

Japanese version went up early. I'm also looking forward to my 2 free one month trial games. Mario U and WWHD as I already own the other 4.

 

[Mik3F]

wait what? Download now?

Japanese eshop

 

[Insaniac]

Japanese eshop

oohh, okay. Welp, I continue to wait...

 

[marc^o^]

 

[Cheesemeister]

Now playing against Vook.

 

[Son Of D]

Stratford CEX has it in stock for anyone nearby. Ask about the free game in case they're second hand copies though.

Can't say I'm surprised that a CEX already has one. They were selling copies of Pokémon X and Y early as well.

Spoiler

Is it safe to assume that the copies are likely stolen copies? Or are people just buying it for the free game download code?

 

[DomLando]

Which controller are you going to use for this game? I still do not have a Pro controller and was contemplating buying one for this and Smash.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Download de goooooooooooooooo!!

Is the release date today in Japan or did it go up early?

Comes out May 29th in Japan, so today.

I guess I'll have to keep my eyes open on Thursday night for an early release.

 

[Baleoce]

Which controller are you going to use for this game? I still do not have a Pro controller and was contemplating buying one for this and Smash.

I'd say that's a very good decision all round. It is a fantastic controller and will work great for both of those games.

 

[Currygan]

I...I just...

 

[Putosaure]

GF picked it up in the mailbox.

1 hour until I can get back home and play the shit out of this game.

GOD YES

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Amazon being awesome again, been playing this for the last two hours or so.

Pink Gold Peach is almost worth maining for the voice alone.

 

[Mailenstein]

The game is soooooo good!!

On a side note, the T-Shirt is now online at Club Nintendo Japan. Just got me one in size L =).

 

[MNDan]

So say I'm looking to buy a WiiU mostly for MarioKart.

What else do I need to buy besides the WiiU? 3 or 4 Wii Remote's? What about the Pro controllers? And can I use the touchpad as one of the motion controllers?
