If you go to eShop right now there's a nice Mario Kart-esque tune playing.

After hanging around the 3rd and 4th spot for some time on Amazon's best selling games (and accessories etc), it now sits comfortably at number 1!
http://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-video-games/zgbs/videogames

Mario Kart Wii is (astonishingly) number 71 (502 days in the top 100).
Mario Kart 7 is number 54 (836 days in the top 100).

I don't know how to feel about product placement in a Mario Kart game.

Feel good. Nintendo needs the money. I would prefer if it was an American, Japanese, or Italian brands instead, but that's a different discussion.

Amazon has let me down again with pre-orders, my Mario Kart 8 still hasn't been dispatched. It has been "dispatching now" since 9:30 this morning... I do have One Day Delivery on it, but now it'll probably arrive tomorrow evening at the very earliest, which is still too late for me and my firend to play it for most of the day.

With this and my Pokemon X arriving two days later than relase day, I'm never using online pre-orders again, they're simply too unreliable...

Amazon are awful with pre-orders, that's why I went with ShopTo, and am playing it now

Urgh turns out my local retailer haven't actually stocked MK8 yet even though their website said so.

The wait till 10 AM tomorrow is going to be a drag. Good thing I downloaded Injustice to keep myself busy.

I've had a bad experience with ShopTo, I ordered something several years ago from them when I lived at a different address and everything was fine. Then a few months ago after not using them for several years they were one of the first places to sell the Journey Collector’s Edition. So I order from them, putting in my newer address. When I check the order details, they sent it to my old address without telling me of some stupid policy where you need to use an address twice before changing it for "security reasons". Luckily I still knew the people there, but anyone else could have easily lost their order and could have done nothing about it. Who knows how many more stupid things that make no sense are hidden in the small print...

I had that issue before, but it was because it was a new card, it had to be sent to the billing address twice before a new address could be used, ended up going to my parents.

For those who have both, which do you think looks better, DKC: TF or MK8?

That's a terrible policy. How are you supposed to get it to your new address, if they never send it there?

On a side note, does anyone else read the first few pages of these threads and get a chuckle out of how far off the mark all of our predictions and speculations were?

I'll let you know, tonight, though it appears MK8 is prettier and DKCTF is more detailed.

To me at least, that’s unacceptable business practice. What if you have no contact with the people who live at the old address? Your order is lost forever. At the very least with Amazon you're sure that your order will (eventually) get to the address you wanted...

Anyway, it has finally been dispatched now. Delivery estimate is still tomorrow, but that probably means 9pm tomorrow...

It annoyed me when it happened, but not to the point where I never used them again, their delivery is too damn good.

As for the visuals question, personally I prefer DKC:TF, Wario is too fat for his car and the steering wheel goes into his belly, really annoyed me.
