It's been too long since we last ran some community online gaming here on Nintendo Life, so with the festive season and some extra play time at our disposal we thought we'd bring it back for some Holiday fun.

It's a slightly off-the-cuff and late decision, but the plan is to host events that you can join for both Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. In the interest of trying to have full-ish rooms we'll have limited play windows, but we are going to set the events to your preferences; that's why we're running some polls.

The schedule will be as follows:

  • Mario Kart 8 - 22nd December from noon Pacific / 3pm Eastern / 8pm UK / 9pm CET until 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern / 1am UK (23/12) / 2am CET (23/12)
  • Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - 23rd December from noon Pacific / 3pm Eastern / 8pm UK / 9pm UK / 10pm CET until 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern / 1am UK (24/12) / 2am CET (24/12)

As stated above we're happy to take your lead in terms of the rules each event will follow - in MK8 it'll be a Community, and in Smash Bros. it'll be a Tourney.

So, vote for your preferred rules below.


Mario Kart 8

Which speed class do you want?
Which courses should be available?
Which items should be available?
Which vehicles should be available?

Super Smash Bros.

Which rules do you want for each round?
How should stages be picked?
Should Mii Fighters be allowed?
Should customised characters be allowed?

As these community nights are a bit of fun we're not going overboard with the rules, but nevertheless we want you to have the choice on the basics.

So, cast your votes, and we'll reveal the results and the and the details for joining in on 22nd December, prior to the Mario Kart 8 Community launching. Enjoy!
