Sounds more like they are trying to cut back on costs rather than streamlining it. I hope that the laid off employees get help finding a new position elsewhere :C
If I recall you could actually do this in Super Mario Kart... so in a way it is a homage to the original game. I don't really see a problem with it since it won't affect online too much with items and such flying about.
I ended up getting the PC version of this. It is a good game so I'm not surprised it is selling so well. If it wasn't delayed so much on Wii U I might have opted for that version instead.
Thanks for the guide, this is handy! Does anyone know if the online play is like MK7 in that it would scale your cc based on the ranking you had? I hated how after a while it only picked mirror mode when I would rather play 150cc.
Very nice! I completed this game using the gamepad controls (I absolutely loved how the gamepad was used in this title, being able to use it to multi-task was one of the best things about it) but this sounds like it might be even better. May have to try out some missions with it.
I'm still too scared of buffles and stick sonic to want this game... But if they reveal something good at E3 I will be more interested. I'm really hoping this game gets good gameplay!
Looks amazing! My only complaint is they keep picking the less fun retro courses. Cheep cheep beach keeps coming back ): Where are the fun courses like DK mountain or waluigi pinball?
My family used to play this back in the day. Multiplayer was always great fun, though in terms of gameplay the original quake is my favourite of the series.
Sounds like a great crossover, I have games from both series and looks like I will be picking this up when it's out. What an amazing month march is being for games. xD
Was really hoping for something on the scale of Mario Galaxy, so I am a little disappointed. However it likely will still be fun to play so won't entirely rule It out.
I guess it is understandable if the previous games sold that badly.. I'm getting this day one most likely as I love the series. If it means other games in the series could be brought over that haven't then I hope that this game sells well. Phoenix Wright is a really unique game but insanely compelling. xD
Playing Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity since it released last week here. I was worried at people's general reactions to this entry in the series but after having played it through I love the game!
Also Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D because I never played the Wii version and I had no idea it was this good. xD Trying to hold out until AC:NL though..
Cannot wait to see what the 3D mario will be like. Mainly because it has been ages since a game with the calibre of things like Galaxy or 64. Smash as well, as I found Brawl pretty amazing. I wonder if they will show some new big secret thing as well o:

Re: Competition: Share your Mii & Win with Tomodachi Life
I'm holding off buying it for the same reason. Hopefully they will announce it later today.

Sounds much better than the previews led me to believe, I want it more now!

Re: Nintendo to Host Special Google Hangout on Tomodachi Life Launch Day
I'm going to check this out for sure. It is such a weird game xD Will be fun to hear some info about it from the creators.
Re: Weirdness: Luigi's Mario Kart 8 'Death Stare' Is Deemed Noteworthy By Fox News
I love the fact that this got on TV xD When I first saw it I died... Luigi is truely creepy in MK8 D:
Re: Nintendo's E3 Plans Are Outlined Further, With Nintendo Minute to Follow Digital Event
I'm really hoping they will reveal a true 3D Mario like Galaxy or 64! Also hoping for a reveal of Zelda U since it has been really quiet.
Re: Nintendo Game Seminar Confirmed for Japan, Focused on 2D Unity Games
What I don't understand is why the logo is in English even though it is exclusive to Japan. I would love to take part in something like this though,
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th June (Europe)
I voted Tomodachi Life. Not sure if I'll get it right away since Mario Kart 8, but it's definitely on my radar.
Re: Competition: Share your Mii & Win with Tomodachi Life
I entered this a while ago. It looks like it's a completely crazy game! Good luck everyone :3
Re: Video: Watch Us Unbox The Mario Kart 8 Limited Edition Bundle
Still waiting for my copy :c It was posted on Wednesday from GAME but no sign of it...
This video was fun to watch though xD

Re: Pikmin 3 Update Adds New Stylus Control Style

Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC Confirmed for Japan With Free Mercedes Car
That trailer was hilarious xD
The Mario at the end killed me! But hey this means MK8 has DLC... Maybe more to come?
Re: Play: Mario Kart 8 With Nintendo Life in our Launch Party
Sounds like fun! I might have to join this.
Re: Weirdness: When PR Stunts Go Wrong - Watch Dogs
LOL You would think they would at least warn them its safe or who sent it. At least then it wouldn't be a bomb scare.
Re: Mario Kart Month: A Brief History Of Mario Kart Item Evolution: Mighty Mushroom
I never knew about the arcade versions having a lot of weird varieties of mushrooms. That's pretty cool xD
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th May (Europe)
Big week! Probably getting MK8 physically but either way the free game makes the price tag more than worth it digitally.
Re: Mario Kart Month: Keeping the Mario Kart 8 Race Going With DLC
Retro courses as DLC would be amazing. There are many courses I would love to replay such as Waluigi Pinball or DK Mountain.
Re: Video: Feast Your Eyes On Episode One Of Days Of Our Tomodachi Lives
"I'm so hungry I could eat an octorok!"
Crazy episode xD I am looking forward to the next one.
Re: Nintendo Hosting Two Big Evening Presentations at E3
I would love for it to be a new Wario Land. They seemed to completely forget about Wario's platforming series :c
But I would be really quite excited if it was something like Metroid or F-Zero! Or imagine if it was a handheld Pikmin? That would be crazy.
Re: Sonic Boom Producer Explains Recent Silence Over Project
I'm still too scared of buffles and stick sonic to want this game... But if they reveal something good at E3 I will be more interested. I'm really hoping this game gets good gameplay!
Re: Activision Is Interested in Making a Skylanders Movie
I guess this pretty much confirms that the real spyro is dead forever. R. I. P.
This film could probably work if it has a decent story though so I won't bash it until I actually see something with my own eyes.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Club Nintendo Promotion Offers a Free Wii U Game
What an amazing deal to add to a great game ! I'll probably get Sonic or Wonderful 101.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Hitting 3DS This Summer, Wii U Launch To Take Place In The Winter
I'm probably getting both. I'm pretty saddened by the winter release window for Wii U though.
Re: Review: Disney Magical World (3DS)
Not going to lie, this sounds really fun. I would probably buy this if it was in Europe. :c

Re: Win Big In Our 'Year Of Luigi' Send Off Competition
Certainly was a fun year for Luigi games, I always hoped he would get more of a spotlight. Have entered, good luck everyone. :3
Re: New 3DS Firmware Update 6.0.0-11U Now Live
Just got it. Kinda annoying that I can't backup Animal Crossing or Pokemon Mystery Dungeon but nice that games like Fire Emblem are covered!
Still getting the plaza update.
Re: Super Mario 3D World Coming To Wii U This December
Was really hoping for something on the scale of Mario Galaxy, so I am a little disappointed. However it likely will still be fun to play so won't entirely rule It out.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th June (Europe)
Animal Crossing and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. I'm really surprised to see the latter appear on the eShop!
Re: Thinking Of Buying Animal Crossing: New Leaf? Go Digital, Says Iwata
Digital thanks to a promo! Even if it wasn't the case, I agree with him in the fact that it is good to have it always on your system. :3
Re: Animal Crossing: New Leaf Will Need Over 6000 Blocks On Your SD Card
Downloading this thanks to the EU games promo. It is perfect for digital since I will play it daily. The 14th can't come any sooner.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th May (Europe)
Denpa Men 2 for sure!

Re: Live Text: 3DS Events in Amsterdam and New York
I wonder how much GAME will charge for this
Re: Live Text: 3DS Events in Amsterdam and New York
I died a little inside. I'm not paying over £100 more than the US equivalent
___Re: Rabbids Prepare to Invade 3DS with Travel in Time
Honestly getting a bit tired of Ubisoft making these instead of Rayman =( Though if this game turns out to be decent I'll try it.
Re: Monochrome Pokemon Come to Europe on March 4th
Nice to see a game come out around the same time for once.. annoying having to wait months :<
Not sure if I will buy it though, some of the new designs are meh. Overall the game is probably really awesome though.
