Hmm, that makes sense as we 3 starred every GP we played during the Best Buy event last week. I just thought we were really good.

SASRT is much easier. At least trying to get 3 stars in 150 is tough as nails.
May ask what are you using, kart or bike? and do you get ahead in the first 2 laps or are you 2nd 3rd during the whole race?
Oh cool. Outside of the expert traffic attacks I didn't find SASRT too hard so this should be fun.

I think the time window for Amazon ranking is so narrow it doesn't really represent anything other than what's popular at this exact moment.
Still surprised to see it #1 at amazon.co.uk.

Anyone from GAF playing now? I'm about to go online.
Different strokes. I never had a problem with the Mii's, or Daisy, or any of the usual subjects that are brought up for most irritating voice, but Toad's yells had always irritated me, especially his yells in Mario Party 2.

Hmm, seems it's in a few other courses too. Hopefully Nintendo's already aware of it from the tons of people playing review and early release copies the past couple of weeks so they can get a patch out soon.

Nice to know, though I've already ordered it from Webhallen. Hopefully will get it in a few hours.
.... Only if you're getting digital. At least DW8 will hold me over.

Ah, the hell? The game is available for purchase one the eShop in mainland Europe now.. but my eShop code from GAME doesn't work?Do I really have to wait for 1 AM?
I have the same problem. Do game codes download from the UK servers even when you are in the german eshop or something like that?

Oh yeah that was hard. Races where much easier.
Take in mind some people say that they are finidng 150cc pretty easy, thats not my case, my firends are experiencing similar results.
With a bike and getting ahead in the first two laps made the game impossible (to get golds I mean).
With a kart and going like 2nd and 3rd during the whole race made the game much easier, and I could get golds easier.
The first race in every cup is really easy to get really ahead of the pack. The rest are the tough ones. Im pretty sure all this is becuase of rubberbanding.

As much as I've complained about Cia The Booby Witch, I wouldn't mind seeing something that looked like those "Shy Girls" in a Mario game.

Same for me :/
Yup. It's a UK code so it will only work from midnight.
So I've been looking at mario kart 8 eshop description, it's not supporting 1080p anymore??
Edit: I know it's not a 1080p game but it should be supporting 1080p upscaled, look at SM3DW and super mario u, Donkey Kong tropical freeze, even batman , they all support 1080p, although they are all 720 native

MK8 was always 720p. Eurogamer was wrong and as far as I know they never corrected their article.
nice to know for future purchases. Good that I have a long weekend and the day of tommorrow, so it is ok to wait another hour

lmao it never was 1080p
Ah. Another hour of waiting
I know but looking at MK3DW it's a 720p native as well, but it supports 1080p according to the description, I know it's up scaled but it's supporting .
same applies to some other 720p games as well

150cc in MK8 is easier, but feels cheaper.

I went ahead and transferred $60 into my Nintendo wallet thing just in case. That's usually the part that stops working when the eshop's getting hammered.

At last I have Ludwig, he was my second to last unlock, well it could have been worse I suppose.
I'm not digging most of the kart pieces I've got so far, haven't got anything on the level of the Train or Koopa Clown Kart in MK7 yet.
I think transformed asks a lot more from your driving skill, MK8 jumps all over the place depending on how much dickery the CPU feel like getting up to, sometimes you'll command first place with ease, other times the item bludgeoning just wont end.

Why couldn't there be pre-loading so I could start playing at midnight instead of downloading it.
Oh well only 42 mins left till download starts....

Have Nintendo said anything about fixing the frame repeating bug yet? I'd reality like to buy this tomorrow, but I won't until I know it will be fixed.
