I'm sure it's old news already, but did you guys notice there's a mini-map on the tv screen now! Additionally, they've fixed the mid-race menu, and now the "next race" option comes before "view highlight reel". The game's perfect now! : -D
Battle mode is much more fun in the 2.0.0 update, with map on the screen. It's now fair since all players can see the map (not just the one with the Gamepad).
I've figured out that the Heavy Character + Pipe Frame + Slim/Slick Wheels combo (or any combo with acceleration stat under 3) just doesn't fit my playstyle, even though it's considered as one of the best. I'd rather have a good acceleration due of item spamming still being a fairly common occurrence in online racing (especially when you're stuck in the pack), so I thought of going back to my good ol' Heavy Character + Yoshi Bike + Roller Wheels + Parafoil combo (which has a speed of 4.25, acceleration of 4 and miniturbo of 4). The problem with inwards-drifting bikes is that long sharp turns (such as the first few corners of Rainbow Road) are tad difficult to deal with it, since they have an annoying tendency to veer way outside of the middle of one of these turns. Turns out the Brake Pumping technique is a godsend for inwards-drifting bikes, perhaps to the point of rendering the Traction stat even more negligible.
I'm wondering why any speed-based kart with low-to-medium acceleration combo is the way to go when it comes to competitive racing. Doesn't the frequent item spamming make them more vulnerable from dropping several places whenever frontrunning isn't possible?
I heard that the shortcut under Yoshi's arm was hard in the GCN version, but to me it was easy on the DS version. I wonder if here the shortcut would be easy or hard.
I've paid for the upgrade does the first one come out on 1st November?
It's expected sometime between the 5th and the 18th since Smash Bros. is coming soon.
It could be on a Thursday since that's when they do eShop maintenance.

Sometime in November. I read somewhere on Nintendo's website that it's late November, but I can't find it now. I think they changed it.
Expect it on the 6th, 13th, 20th, and the 27th.

I think they'd choose 27th November and announce a Smash Wii U + Mario Kart 8 console bundle sometime in the next few weeks set for release November 28th. Nintendo's aim must be getting new Wii U customers so bundling the 2 huge 2014 Wii U games together is common sense.

Bundling one of them is common sense. There were reasons not making 3D World part of the MK8 bundle free offer this summer.
