@vitalemrecords - This is how I understand it will work. Everyone will race together regardless of purchasing the dlc. The people with the dlc will have an option to choose from two sets of races (one set being a random choice of four dlc tracks). Sounds fair to me, I'm sure 90% of people will get the dlc anyway.
Well, I personally like this idea. Forza 4 was really poor imo and I've still got hope for this being the driving game of this year. You can't compare this with the might of Mario Kart, nothing can compare with MK.
Been kind of strange as I've not played a good rpg since South Park was released. This has been on my radar for a while, no problems with the delay. We are normally used to much worse treatment, here in the EU.
@sinalefa - Shocking right! let's hope this sets a way forward for other future releases.
100% percent really happy with all the mk content. Link and the master cycle look perfect and the new tracks all seem beautiful. The costumes are not my thing but the Captain Falcon one looks great.
Haha, some people on this thread sound like they need a new toy to play with.
l completely missed this cool news yesterday... Another great function of amiibo and another reason to purchase ya favourite one. Hope they come out like the costumes on mario golf, they would look perfect on a mk8 Mii.
@rjejr - I knew you would at least have ideas and that's more than I've come up with. Using the characters not currently used in MK would make a lot of sense and would explain the lack of choices with the selection proposed for the dlc. Great idea and I hope Nintendo see eye to eye with you on that.
My only one idea which is linked with a battle type of mode and would work simliar to smash. Which would involve a new battle mode with the option to battle with or against.
@rjejr - In the EU or well here in UK, we have no mention of the end of November on the eshop. 13th looks good to me too. I am completely confused to how amiibo are going to be used in MK8. Do you have any ideas?
How brilliant that the track changes each time you play, Excite bike style. Assuming we are getting more that 3 laps then on this track then? Good dam you Nintendo, where is Link on that Master Cycle?
Right, release date... Them mk8 dlc pre-paid cards are going on sale in Japan from 31st. So, I can't imagine retailers would want them on the shelf too long, before the first dlc arrived. Plus, expecting before the smash release dates. However, we have six more tracks to see and at the current trend it been one a week. If we do see another track trailer tomorrow or next few days. Then, I expect an early of the month release.
Wow, some double dash love! Wonderful to see Nintendo breaking the rules again with this dlc. First impressions are pretty good for this classic track looking like it belongs in the main game. Loving the little details, like yoshi being still wet coming-out the waterfall.
Very interesting to hear more info on this new jeep kart. Could this be the option for inside drifting drivers that want to fire hop too...
@Cyberboltv2 - Hold it!!! That's the same opinion that EA / Ubisoft and CAPCOM have. I say the complete opposite to you. More marketing, deals and special offers in Europe should be happening, IMO.
@Yurikun - What about a well known basketball game by 2K?
@JosieC84 - FPS games always seem to do very well in Australia too. Destiny is number 1 at present . Every country has a main sports game that always does well. FIFA is ours because of the culture of football in the UK. In Australia EA golf games always do well. So.... Don't throw stones in glass houses.
I feel it's so important that CAPCOM keep all future Ace Attorney games with a digital only release. Would be nice to see a special physical release with extras for real fans. Great price compared with second-hand DS originals and worth every penny.
@ErnisDy - O well, you may lose a few quid on not selling it on once you've finished the game. However, we all should give XSEED massive support for making this happen. They deserve every penny from me IMO for a digital release.
@Kevlar44 - Hey, I agree with you. I'm sure the other consoles will catch up mid/late 2015, tho. Out of all my consoles, I still spend most of my time at present with my Wii U. I only have a few retail new gen games for my xbone one and I'm lookng forward to a few titles coming-out on each console. Evil Within is pretty special from what I could see playing the demo recently.
Marvelous!!! I heard a few days ago about the USK rating be applied for but was still not sure on what was going on. I really believed RF4 was lost to us Europeans forever. Nice to see XSEED not confirming a release windows untill the certification process is complete.
@Finntendo - Haha, sorry... You have the wrong person. I'm the tall guy with a black superman t-shirt on. I'm unfortunately not cool enough to wear a mario cap.
I had a little go of the demo at the weekend, which was top quality. This goes right on my wishlist. I'm Interested to see how Two Tribes will use the GamePad with the Wii U version.
A massive congratulations to Jamie and well done to all that took part. I had a fantastic weekend and enjoyed the experience of the finals. Sniff... Sniff.. I won't tell everyone where I finished up -sob-
I must say that from what I could see all the Nintendolife guys, worked really hard to arrange and run the events at EGX last weekend. They deserve a lot of credit for what they achieved.
Any of the finalists that I've not added as friends, please add me when you get the chance.
@Senario - Thanks very much for the info, l'll check them out. Not played previous titles that much but I'm an old Street Fighter fan and I was pretty good at that.

IMO it's pretty much true, Wonderboy had better controls compared with the NES mario bros game at the time.

Re: Review: Shantae And The Pirate's Curse (3DS eShop)
@KTT - That is of course correct but I can be pretty sure that the majority of people purchasing this game will be male.
Re: Review: Turtle Tale (Wii U eShop)
This kept me busy for a few hours on the 3DS. Not something I would recommend for anyone above the age of 12.
Re: Football Up Online to Kick Off in Europe Soon
We need a light hearted fun and qwerty football game for Nintendo consoles and this is not it.
@andrea987 - Don't forget sensible soccer.... As much as it pains me to say. FIFA 15 is pretty dam good this year on my Xbox One.
@Azooooz - Egg Ball most definitely wins. I've called it that for years.
Re: Review: Shantae And The Pirate's Curse (3DS eShop)
@KTT - This debate ended a while back with everyone deciding that boys will be boys and boys play video games.
Re: Review: Shantae And The Pirate's Curse (3DS eShop)
Haha, I'll get a better view on the Wii U version then.

Re: Nintendo Rolling Out New In-Store Digital Distribution Service For The UK And Europe
I would hope to see a price reduction of some kind. Otherwise, the only benefit is saving on shelf space and that's no good for us.
