Mario Kart 8 |OT2| I'm using tilt controls!

There are two types of item wheel mess ups. One is that it takes the maximum amount of time to stop, and the 2nd is like half way. Both of them cannot be stopped manually, but at least the 2nd one is slightly quicker.

No excuse for having either one show up in races tho.

As someone who owns a Wii U but does not have any friends to play local multiplayer with, is there any real reason for me to purchase this game? I enjoyed the previous Mario Karts but as an owner of an Xbox One and a PS4 I have become selective of what games I buy and am unsure if MK8 is worth the 60 dollar price point, especially due to the fact that I have no friends at all online or offline to play this with.

Played the game for 4 hours straight with 3 other friends today (local)... i lost my voice at the end of the session and i feel like i did tons of crunches from all the laughter...


... can't believe how close i feel to the experiences i had way back in the day with MK64 and DoubleDash... so much fun.

My wife plays online with randoms all the time and has a blast. I stopped playing because she always beats me and my gamer pride couldn't take the hits anymore.

Game is a blast in single player too, but it feels better to lose against real people than item whoring computers.

I'm so on the fence on this one. I would love to play with some GAF people though. The other major incentive is that I have not played Pikmin 3 and I can still get it free through Nintendo's MK8 free game promotion I believe.

I would say get the game. Right now it's less than $49 on Amazon and like you said you can still get Pikmin 3 for free by registering. Also, if you are a member of the Deluxe Digital Promotion the "free" game will still give you the full amount of points like you purchased the game outright.
