[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Played the game at gamestop yesterday and it looks beautiful

 

[BowieZ]

I see DLC list in the OP, has Nintendo actually commented on this?

If there's DLC in Mario Golf but not in Mario Kart, I will accept a 2 week GAF ban.

 

[K' Dash]

Hhhhnnngg, this is going to be a loooooong week

 

[Snkfanatic]

Hmmm you may get one then.

Nintendo seem to be very cautions with DLC. I would love to see it happen for this game though, I would shell out some money for more courses, characters, or parts.

 

[pickle tooth]

We doing tournaments? If so, sign me up for the horrible gamer circuit. Pretty excited for this game.

Never knew there's an irc channel for mkgaf lol

I just made one out of the hype because of Mario Kart Direct.

[Strider]

It's almost time! Can't wait until next Friday.

 

[Battle Born]

I haven't been this excited for a Mario Kart game in a long, long time. I'll add my NNID to the spreadsheet soon.

 

[uncleniccius]

Hype! I just added myself to the Google Doc, but if anyone wants someone who will be playing MK on their friends list then add me!

ONE WEEK TO GO. CHOO CHOO.

 

[Dereck]

Added NNID

 

[Davey Cakes]

For the love of god, please change title. Obscure jokes aren't funny or clever. Otherwise, nice job

How's it obscure? The game features going upside down. Everyone knows this.

Plus the title was already agreed upon by the majority of people in one of the other MK8 threads.

Better this than some title that's trying to be clever in its wording. Just enjoy it for being something different.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

HERE WE GO!!!!!!!

added myself to the spreadsheet


Very nice OT! I love the subtitle

I would kill for that upside-down font on my member tag!

 

[Deku Tree]

Title is excellent. I don't understand the backlash.

Warming up engine!

Readyyyyyyyy.... *blue shelled


FUUUU

 

[goldsoundz]

This is going to be my first console MK since MK64. I've been sold on it since Nintendo first showed it at last years E3 Direct. Glad to see it turned out as well as it looks.

I just wish it was out today since I'm heading out of town to visit some friends and bringing my Wii U with NSMBU and Mario 3D World.

 

[Davey Cakes]

The wait is long and painful.

That said, we're down to ONE WEEK.

 

[rawktapus]

Added my NNID to the list. I look forward to losing to all of you in a week

 

[Instro]

Yoshi time bitches.

 

[WillyFive]

Love the OT title. Disappointed in no Diddy Kong for another generation.

 

[Khrno]

ShopTo just took the money and dispatch is being processed.

Last time they took the money for a pre-order on the Friday of the week before release, I got the game by Tuesday (releases are Fridays), hope it gets here early this time too!

 

[Deku Tree]

Love the OT title. Disappointed in no Diddy Kong for another generation.

Want Diddy Kong DLC!!!

 

[Snkfanatic]

Yoshi time bitches.

Damn right! Always use Yoshi

 

[Vlade]

Very hyped.

I like the title.

 

[PotionBleue]

Got my hopes up when I saw “Mario Kart 8 | Iwata Asks” in the OP. :[

 

[Gojeran]

So close now!! Looking forward to playing this with friends for years to come.

 

[Buddha Beam]

Buying it day one because it's Mario Kart, but I'm still very, very unhappy about the way they completely fucked up battle mode.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

just added $10 to my eShop for a total of $65, release it now to test your servers for stress lol

 

[akaoni]

The blue shell and the elastic band are necessary evils as much as I curse them. Playing a bunch of Sonic Racing Transformed lately one apparent flaw that became more and more obvious was that there were no items capable of reeling the leader in, the bees being the only option were not a guaranteed hit, and if you're with the rest of the pack you will fall back thanks to items. Basically if you exploit this by relying on speed, getting a little in front of the pack is enough to call the race over in the right hands, being out in the lead is 'low risk & high reward' compared to other positions, it's a rookie balancing mistake. Don't think it's worth an entire thread to state the obvious, so there you go!

 

[PadWarrior]

Added my Enop123 Id to the spreadsheet.

 

[Javier]

I am so ready for this.

 

[dmr87]

Day 0, bring the hype.

Also, love the OP.

 

[dkeane]

So, do eshop releases get put up at midnight?

Can't wait!

 

[phanphare]

Great thread!


Let's-a gooooooooo!!

 

[Zanosuke]

Awesome OT and title! I'm really tempted to buy a Wii U just for this game!

 

[EastOfEden]

ironic because the title is trying to be clever. Visually, it looks goofy as shit (backward AND upside down? ) and the fact that you have to explain it shows the joke falls flat.

I "got it" when I first saw it, just saying. Although I don't think it's a joke as in meant to be funny, it's just kind of a neato thing.

Hey so... that DLC section on the original post - has there been any hints there will be or is it just wishful thinking?

 

[Deku Tree]

Worth every penny. Do it.
