After only 2 cups and about a half an hours game time My impression so far is this game is freaking awesome. Definitely a system seller. Nintendo will do well to keep the adds up for longer then a year if you ask me!

Oh and it's far too nice outside to be playing Mario Kart. After 2 days in a row of rain out weather I'm making everyone go outside for say 10 mins! I kid, there will be plenty of time for gaming, especially on rain days!

Hey did you guys know that Mario Kart 8 "will likely be available on Nintendo's portable devices?"

On Friday, Nintendo (OTCPK:NTDOY) is set to release its highly anticipated family-friendly go-kart racing game "Mario Kart 8," the latest in the Japanese company's long-running franchise. "Mario Kart 8" is exclusive to Wii U, although eventually the game will likely be available on Nintendo's portable devices.

Now that was pretty funny.

@Miss_Dark - No problem! I wish I could say that I can't play because of exams too but sadly, it's because I don't have a Wii U...

my last euros went to mario kart 8... so I'm in a rather difficult position now lol can't really enjoy it that much cause I'm broke I hope I'll find a job for july

I know what you mean. Money's become a bit of an issue for me too ever since the shenanigans that happened at University last year. All I can do is hope for a part-time job during the summer (or get really lucky with the lotto or something. XD). At least you have the game though. I'm a bit jealous of all the people here who are able to play today. ^^"

First impressions: it's... good. No match for CTR or Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed but fun nontheless. It's not as much fun to play as the games I mentioned. It looks fantastic graphically but game mechanics just aren't that fun, antigravity is much more awesome in faster games, like F-Zero (or even some tracks in Sonic Racing).

  • Why can't you hold 2 items anymore? I need protection against evil items! This wouldn't be so bad if...
  • ... coins weren´t an item. It's officially the worst MK item and comes literally always when you need a protective item against red shell.
  • You'd think they have more characters to chooce from Mario universe than Metal Mario and Peach, not to mention FIVE different baby characters. I want to drive as Pianta (and Funky Kong of course!).

It would be great if David Wise made soundtracks to all future Nintendo games.

My buddy held out for mario kart before he got a Wii U today. So thats at least one system sold on the merit of mario kart alone.

So far not one gas clerk attendant has been able to redeem my $10 free gas (you know, from the BestBuy pre-order?).

You have to take this piece of paper that gets emailed to you inside the gas station and have the clerk punch in the #s on the credit card.

The first attendant I went up to was a guy with long black hair, looked to be about 28 years old. He looked at the piece of paper and asked, "What is this?"

I wasn't sure if he meant that in reference to the gas card or the Wii U logo on the front. SMH.

Request for help please. Anybody know how to play 2-player with one on the Gamepad? It defaults to split screen on the TV.

Was that even an option?

No it was not sadly!

Hopefully they will give us a update that allows it in the future. Sort of like the new Pikmin 3 update!

I had assumed so, it was great in Sonic Racing Transformed. It's a real shame that's missing, again the Gamepad looks utterly irrelevant.

The game is pretty fun, as expected. A pity that they removed the wheelies though!

My favorite stages so far may be Wario mountain and the track with the dolphins! Also, I like what they have done with some of the retro tracks. Wario stadium was always fun, but now they have also added water and anti-gravity. Very good!

Graphically its also very good. Maybe the best looking Wii u game so far. And I also like the slowmotion feature, when you are watching highlights.

By the way: If you see a timetrial ghost from a dutch nutter called Henmii, that's me!

Played it for about 3 hours straight when I got home from work. It is certainly one of the most visually stunning games I've ever played. I won't be able to afford any new games for a while, but this will keep me for quite some time. I've played through all but two of the cups now. The N64 Rainbow Road track is my favorite musically, by far.
