I like how I'm seeing Miiverse friends I haven't seen in months come online now and giving yeah's and posting. That's what a great game does my friends!
....Hey wanna add each other again....have I even add you on the Wii U before? xD
Anyways dunno if/when I'll go online with MK8, though.
Sure, just send a friend request to my NL user name. At the very least I'll see you on the 3ds with MH4 right?

So this is my first time with a Wii U. Anyone wanna mind to add me? NNID is BigTechBrother. And just to be on-topic, the free game will just come to me tomorrow when I register my CN account today.
Has anyone else found online to be tough? Normally in Mario Kart games I can easily get into 4th place or better in every race. but lately, within a few seconds at the start of the race, I've been getting ambushed by every item known to toadkind. And have been landing around 8th place. I.. I'm.. I'm not getting worse, am I?!
No, you aren't the worse player. It's that you need some practice, since practice makes perfect!

Nope, everyone else is just getting better!

Does anyone here like the Dual Stick method? I've grown to prefer the precision it gives me while driving.

Now playing:
Final Fantasy XIV (PC) | The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Switch) | Celeste (Switch)
So I played it for about 2 hours and...I cant say that I like it too much. I saw a ton of videos that convinced me to buy it, but Ive just been bombarded with items over and over again. My sister isnt feeling it either. My every victory has been by 2 seconds or less. As a Mario Kart veteran who's played countless hours of Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii, Im not totally on board with this. In all console Mario Kart games, my sister and I always take 1st and 2nd place; but this time around there is much more of a struggle. My fingers are actually sore from putting so much effort into drifting and any little thing to get ahead. (I only race on 150cc btw/ anything else feels much to slow; Honestly, 150cc feels a little slow too)
Still giving it a shot though. Ive unlocked all the cups of course, but Ive only spent about 2 hours with it. Ill give it more time tomorrow.

So your saying you like it less because it's more difficult? This does not compute.....

Eh...you shouldn't expect to always be the best at a game you just got, even if it is Mario Kart. You'll get used to it.

Also, Battle Mode is addicting! No teams, frantic mode, hard computers, random courses, and it is insanely fun.
I do miss arenas, though.

Really right!
So you're saying because you have to actually work at it you're not quite feeling it. All good things come from hard work. Maybe that means the game is just more balanced?! Kinda arrogant in a way to think you will just hop online and instantly own people. If you're still winning then what's the big deal if it's by 1 second or 10 tbh. Enjoy the game and realize that you might just need to put you're best effort forward every time. Plus 4 extra karts might have something to do with it.

Man, this game rocks! I played 50cc tonight: 8 cups with 8 different characters. 8 gold trophies with triple stars across the board. 32 first place finishes; 250+ coins, zero redos. Seemed almost too easy, even on 50cc, considering it was my first time playing.
I had one very close call with Toadette on Grumble Volcano. I literally won by inches...
Oh, by the way, I just destroyed a Blue Shell using a Super Horn for the first time. It was extremely satisfying.

I got the Super Horn, and was in 1st place.....but I got hit by lightning. xD
Anyways, done playing for the night, gonna upload a couple of videos...here's one of them for anyone that cares.

LMAO huh? Nearly everyone suggests not playing this game immediately on 150cc. NOT a good idea. Hopefully you'll grow to like the game. Its amazing.
I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!
