Me and Morfeo joining gaf torney, I'm playing as Bjornar
 
I haven't played for long, but first impressions aren't as favorable as they were with Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed on PC last year. Single-player content in Mario Kart 8 is definitely lacking, and the racing just isn't as exciting... yet. I'm sure it'll grow on me over the weekend. :-)

Personally Id say wiimote + nunchuck is the most comfortable to play with out of those. Very relaxing on the sofa.
 
That feel when a blue shell clips you at some weird ass angle when you're in fourth.

Then you get a coin item box.
 
So I just bought this game this morning over the eShop.
Then around lunch today I connected my NintendoClub account.

Am I screwed out of a free game now?
 
So why can't you use the R button for acceleration? It's so dumb to not have it as an option. Makes it so much more comfortable for long term use.
 
Man this game is frustrating the fuck out of a me. Haven't won a single online race yet.

I think this game is different than CoD in that you will have trouble just playing online. Many people are hardcore MK players. It is probably better to try to unlock all cups to get a feel then jump online (at least that is my strategy).
 
So the way the tournament effective works is whoever has the most points at the end of the week "wins"? I feel like the tournament should be daily instead of weekly, as some people are just going to rack up ridiculous points in the span of a week, no?
 
Finally home with my copy (ended up being out all day when I didn't expect to be) and damn is this game gorgeous!!! Video footage really does not do it justice when I finally see it on my TV.

Still trying to decide if I'll go through all of the races or just jump to 150cc. I need to get used to playing Mario Kart again though. I am a little annoyed that a number of stamps are unlocked right from the start but only a little and it's a nitpick.
