Topic: Mario Kart 8 - OT

You can download other players races so I think it does record online matches.

Never understood why Metal Mario was included. He sounds like he's drowning in water or something.

Anyway, I hope it has a records system like the DS version.

The promotion is cool. Too bad the only game I don't have on that list is wii party U.

I guess I'll ask here, since I have two options.

I can either get party u for free.

or I can trade in my physical copy of Pikmin 3 at wal-mart for about 35 bucks, and get the digital version back for free.

Hmm, I'm leaning more towards the 35 bucks, lol.

$35.00, I'm sure you can get Wii Party U for less then that soon enough.

There are going to be so many used copies of Pikmin 3, NSMBU, and WWHD out there after this promo. Haha..

Oh, that's right. I remember hearing about that in a GameXplain video. I can just see me making compilations of my bad luck online or just save silly-looking replays like this one. Wario's a really big bully.

That direct was brilliant.

Now, who was grumbling about not having a track editor again...?

Maybe they just like the character? I see no issue with lots of people playing as him. To each their own.

I'm not a huge fan of the roster, but other wise.....WDFJRF)WJVMV THAT NEW TRAILER JUST KILLED ME

Yeah, or the Elite Trio, lol

I'm gonna get the limited edition with a figure of that blue shell

OK... I know I'm in the minority when I say that I don't want RPG characters in Mario Kart. Especially Fawful. That dude EXPLODED inside Bowser in BiS. He is dead at this point! The only RPG character I can think of that I'd be alright with being a racer would be Prince Dreambert and even that's a stretch...

All the music is amazing.
Especially some of the retro tracks, oh, and Cloudtop Cruise.
All the Retro courses look so good too.
I think Moo Moo Meadows is one of my favourites, just because I love how they managed to take a pretty bland and boring course from just last generation and turn it into something amazing.
Also cannot wait to race on N64 Rainbow Road.

...You know how many times Bowser has "died" in Mario games? lol

Has he really died? What is his worst death?

I dunno, lol.
But I lost count with the "falling into lava" bit. xD

Of course but he's never been disintegrated! ...Uh, I think. XD
Anyway, aside from the early games, (SMB1, Super Mario World, etc.) whenever Bowser supposedly dies in a game, he typically shows up later in the same game.

I'd say when the Galaxy he was in exploded at the end of Super Mario Galaxy. If you can call that a death anyway; we never actually saw if that affected him at all... and when we see him with Mario and Peach at the end of the game; he's fine.

Did we see this promo for Europe?

I have to say, I'm a little jealous, but we get to try out SSB4 first though.
