Topic: Mario Kart 8 - OT

Who's not going to give me a special cake for Mario Kart 8? It comes out on my birthday!

I just meant their reasons for giving a low score were pretty bad. I don't have a problem with unlocking characters that way either. I actually like it. Andre of GameXplain said you unlock characters by "completing Grand Prix." So...I guess you don't have to win them...because I don't know how you would figure that out in multiplayer.

What if there is no DLC...

Then like I said a few days ago, it will be a missed opportunity and dumb on Nintendo's part. Why not give us more content especially if a ton will pay for it. If it's free that's all the more better.

And apparently people see it as an unfinished game without it. I don't really understand that logic but hey. I imagine a lot of people would buy it, so yeah a missed opportunity

Yeahhh got a copy time to play now

If you're entering the tournaments, I suggest you guys vote on these polls if you haven't:

Okay, here's a question. How long should each Mario Kart 8 Tournament last for?

Do you want limits to how many races per round? (Like Mario Kart 7, there were 4 races in each group started)

Do you want group shuffling in tournaments?
(After a certain amount of races, the game puts you in a group with different players in the same tournament)

In some people's retrospects, it is an unfinished game with a lot of polish on certain areas. If you think about it, Battle Mode didn't live up to its expectations, given the fact that the race tracks are the battle tracks. The game could use a lot of tweaking IMO, but if DLC isn't in the game, seeing it as unfinished is not that far off from actually being true. I think DLC would be beneficial for this game and Nintendo, but if it won't happen, I think it could potentially be a detriment, given the amount of time and sales during a 6 month+ span.

From what I've seen of it, Battle mode at the very least is an improvement over the terrible modes they've dished out in the last few games.
Probably still not worth playing at all and the fact that the eliminated players are invisible is completely stupid and ridiculous, but on a whole it seems like a slight improvement to me.

So it's much easier to unlock the characters and parts, hopefully young kids who play this game will be able to unlock it if that is they had trouble with some of the other titles. I remember going to someone's home and being asked by a younger kid to try to unlock some of the locked cups.

So Nintendo Life's hosting a tournament on the game's release date: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/05/play_mario_kart_8_wi...

I've added it to the front page: https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/wii-u/mario_kart_8_tournam...

Get hype people! It's nearly here!

Anyone know in what ways you can collect coins and it actually go towards your total? I think in 7 you had to play Grand Prix, and maybe online verses or something.
