Topic: Mario Kart 8 - OT

Living in Australia, there are some titles that don't make it here the same time as Europe so I have a secondary UK NNID that I use for those titles, no issues at all.
Dunno with the Club Nintendo stuff but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Because we don't have Club Nintendo in Sweden. So the only way to get anything Club Nintendo related is to have a account in a different country.

The new Rainbow Road doesn't really gel with me. Visuals are nice, but the track design and length leaves a lot to be desired. I'm not even particularly fond of the theme. Bowser's Castle looks epic though. N64 Rainbow Road also makes up for what it lacks too.

The only thing I would warn about is when downloads go account based (and transferring games to the next system is account based, not system based) you will lose those free games

Just preodered the Steelbook. Will be my first ever Steelbook for a game ^^

Yeah the Rainbow Road is a massive disappointment. N64 remake was amazing and then they tease us by saying "wait until you see what we did for the new Rainbow Road." Wow. This without playing it looks like the worst rainbow road to me so far.

How long can you moan about a freaking stage lol. You guys are depressing

I disagree, rainbow road on 64 for example, was definitely not the hardest course, not even close. Also, it was way too long and a bit boring tbh.

I agree that 64's Rainbow Road was long and boring and bland. It's the only Rainbow Road that I'd never want to race on.
I actually enjoy Super Circuit's because a simple Mushroom boost makes for great jumps and huge shortcuts if your skilled.
Haven't seen 8's Rainbow Road due to spoilers, I want to experience it myself.

This is going to be my first mario kart and i'm wondering what makes mario kart so much better than other kart racers like sonic all stars or the f1 one

Excuse me, but what does 'cc' mean?

We can collect 90 stamps ( as in 3d world )

Cubic Centimeters, it's referring to the size of the engines.

Probably a combination of polish and nostalgia xp not saying the series is bad by any sense, but a lot of people has memories of playing with mates etc, myself included.
The games themselves are fun, but I wouldn't say they do anything truly unique when compared to other good kart racers.

Oh, I knew that, I just didn't think karts in mario kart have such details (I have never played mk)

I really hope they make the stamps more reasonable. In 3D World people killed the community by posting tons of fart jokes of the game.

Well that's miiverse for you. Horrifying

It's not so much about details as it is an idiosyncratic way of naming the difficulty levels.

@Datasun_7 Heh, yeah. Hence why I don't go to it anymore.

This game makes Mario Kart Wii look like such an utter joke. I can't wait for it and my free Wind Waker HD!
