Game is in the top 3 on Amazon.co.UK, behindmthe xbone and ps4 versions of watch dogs andin front of the 360 and ps3 versions. Really hope it pushes some wiiu sales, if even a few.

I hate you guys with great luck. My copy says Friday AM. I am going to pick it up and have a long lunch. My desire has been lowered due to the GameStop demo. Still want it though!
That's a fantastic cover.

Store in LA broke the date, got my copy! Aww yeah!
Won't have time to play until tonight but I'm ready!
Thanks to the person that mentioned a certain store notifying people of its availability on Facebook. It's nearby where I was working today and I happened to check half and hour after they had posted it.

I don't get it why nearly all Famitsu covers feature so absurdly much text. But excluding the text, it's good.

So my bundle comes at the weekend. I have a 3DS so I have a NNID, I'll be able to use that NNID on my Wii U right? Seems like an obvious yes but it's Nintendo...and online...
Would adding my NNID to the Google Doc allow me to receive any friend requests that I can just accept when I get the U?
If so, add me people, I have no friends: Willhay108

Finally got gold in 150cc on the Mushroom Circuit after a few tries.
Enjoying the hell out of it.
I can see the slight frame stutter DF was talking about but it is not that big of a deal honestly.

To all those who already have their copies:
bobbychalkers does not approve and you should be forced to wait till Friday like the rest of us.
Until then, blue shells and lightning bolts upon you and your ilk!

HNNGHH for the sold out Wiimotes and HNNGHHH for the Famitsu cover. The hype is oh so real!

Man people getting their copies early and I have to wait until after the weekend, when I come back from Mexico.
The worst part is I'll have my copy on Friday.

Nintendo's CG art has gotten really good since the Wii era, it's very charming.
Edit: Speaking of art...I really shouldn't be procrastinating on GAF right now...lol

You need to play 50cc to get stars by your name online.
P.S. I hope all of you that have the game already know hat I hate you right now.

Nope. If you play higher CCs, it automatically gives you gold in the lower cups anyway.
Whaaaat? That's new, isn't it?
Saint Gregory

Wow, that's great. So I can jump right into 150cc without having to worry about missing unlocks then
I've been wondering that same thing also, was thinking of adding my ID to the list for that reason but wasn't sure if it worked.

Hahaha
Good job bro.
Does it just give you the gold trophy or does it also rank you for the lower classes?

If I get a three golden star rating on the Shell cup on 150cc, do I then automatically get given a three golden star rating on the 50cc and 100cc variations of the Shell cup?
Holy shit, the detail on Mario's hat... Nintendo's CG renders are getting really awesome these days. I hope they'll someday be able to use them in games looking just like that.
Mount Wario's getting plenty of love without me adding to it, but geez it's good. I love everything about this game. Still need to get a handle on the piranha plant item; it kinda led me off the side 3 times in one race on the new Rainbow Road, which I like a lot more in game than I thought I would.
Also, bought the Wii U Pro Controller solely for this game and am not disappointed. Need to buy more to use with friends.

I added my NNID to the spreadsheet. I won't be adding anyone myself, but if you send a friend request, I'll grant it.

Rank as well.
This is like the best thing ever.
2 days early? I wouldn't count on it.. But if you're in Melbourne and get lucky, let me know, haha

yeah very tempting. but now I think going 50cc will help me get familiar with the tracks
Oh wow, guess I'll be jumping straight into 150cc.
Yeah! Can't wait to do that.
Yeah, just did it earlier. That was also in the Wii version, though, iirc.
