You can put WiiU games on SSD cards?

You can feasibly plug in a USB SD Card adapter and use it as an external drive. Not sure it's recommended though.
SSD (as in solid state) drive, not SD (as in secure digital) card.

I mean Solid State Drive

it is just for load times,
like digital eShop version is faster than retail disc
and SSD is faster than internal storage
internal is faster than regular HDD storage
this is an old test I am not sure if anyone else has been testing with the updates since MH3U launch
Holy craaaaap! I just managed to get an early copy in Montreal! Those of you who want to know where I got it shoot me a PM.

May I ask where you purchased it from and your location?
Yeah but for some reason it didn't capture that part, even if I chose to focus on items.
Well Yabuki... you're wrong.
Certainly the Koopalings were a nice addition but including shitty characters like another baby and a metal version of Peach hardly makes the game "more appealing"
If there's something people is not getting the game for.. is the roster, that's for sure.
As far as I know Mario Kart 8 is different, if you register a digital code, or buy it from the eShop then the reciept on the Wii U (and email sent to you) will contain the code you need to input on Club Nintendo to get the free game. So you can play at 12am then input the code at 10am.

Holding the A button down on the gamepad makes my thumb hurt. *cries*
Pink Gold Peach is the real deal. c'mon now

I honestly cannot think of a single thing I give LESS of a shit about than the roster in a Mario Kart game. People not getting the game because of it register as legally insane as far as I'm concerned. I barely even pay attention when I choose a racer, I just pick whoever is in the weight class I might want, usually just Mario.

Just got my EU copy today and I'm currently blasting through the 50ccs.
- I can see why they only showed replay footage. There's no difference between grav and antigrav in gameplay.
- Did you always lose your drift charge if you run off the course over grass? Could have sworn you kept it in MK7...
- Only being able to keep one item at a time (even if you're holding a banana behind you) is a pretty big balance change. Maybe meant to make it less easy for players up front to always have a shield out?
- I've only got the Super Horn once, and that's when I ran into a ? box with a blue shell coming up behind me. Planned mechanics or pure dumb luck?

Well the draw of MARIO Kart is racing as your favorite Mario characters. I don't care a ton about the roster, but it's understandable that some people do.

No idea, I should check if it has control options.

Do you recall when the eShop updates in our timezone? If I can't find it in store early I'll probably just pick it up there.
I think for DKTF it was up at either 10PM or 11PM.
Use the Y button instead, much more comfortable.

dudes what happened to Iwata Asks Mario Kart 8 ?? he does not do them anymore?
I cant believe how amazing this track is. Have you seen the lava and fire effects? Just amazing....

Has anyone picked this up early in the US? Maybe from a Target?

Maybe it's just me, but I think the draw of Mario Kart is racing in Mario locales and an overall Mario theme, not so much choosing to race as a specific Mario character. Particularly since the racers are all just bundles of stats, and my preference for actual handling and performance would far outweigh any preference towards an actual character if that character wouldn't feel good to race as.

If they have no DLC strategy for MK8, they must hate money.
She isn't tho.
Well, that's your opinion but some people do care about it.

Oh you can do that? great.
Any thoughts on this?
Curious about this too but doesn't seem like it. Any luck in Boston anyone?

Some people ship Shrek and Shadow the Hedgehog, too.
Some people care too much about characters.
Here its the unboxing plus all the cool stuff i got with the game!

Bought the DLC code from game which I've received via e-mail, eshop tells me it's too early to redeem it though, damn it!

I'm getting worried because those HD tracks look so detailed and beautiful I would not mind paying money for a Track Set DLC even if it was months later

great vid, I really dont like the red case. It just makes sense to keep it blue.

Just got mario kart. It doesnt come out until friday yet it was already sold out at the media markt I went, mine was the last copy. The woman there said they were nearly sold out since morning, and the only ones that were still there this afternoon were inside, and mine was the last one.
My friend had the limited edition preordered but those seem to get there tomorrow.
I started playing the 50cc first cup and the game looks AMAZING. Online also seems to work really well and fast, but I had to disconnect becuase they chose rainbow road and I didn't want to be spoiled.

US Mario Karts have a red case tradition just like gold cases for Zelda I think
I think it clashes with the WiiU blue they should have made the WiiU blue Red
they have done WiiU on Black before in Japan but NOA seems stuck trying to brand this thing blue

in another MK there I heard there was a location in the Bronx selling early
Wait did i miss out on Mario Kart 7 coming in a red case!? that would have made sense. Big red 7. So black cases in Japan? I like that.

Any way to turn the game pad off when playing with the wheel?

I've owned every Mario Kart since Super Circuit. 8 is the only one that has a red case.
EDIT: Oh. Well, that's two games with red cases out of eight so far.
