Naming games in a numerical order or by the console they're on is trending for Nintendo atm apparently. I sure hope they don't continue that for this and Zelda etc...
Oh come on guys, even though it's advertising kinda, it's definitely meant in a humorous way. It's not like MK8 target demo are people who buy cars yet anyway lol. You don't have to download it if you hate it. I think it's pretty funny and stylewise it's not too far from Wario's karts in some titles...
I still feel like this is a bit over hyped :/ I mean of course it's terrific fun and well made, but there's only one game mode... doesn't it get pretty repetitive? In the same way Mario Kart does over time.
I used to own this game on DS but sold it just a couple weeks ago. Hah, I'm getting the value back This game is actually pretty fun for a while, on summer holidays I won't be using my brain at all lol so I might as well play this.
It never seems to recognize when I say "blue" aloud though... jeez, my accent isn't THAT bad??
Hyrule Warriors, Smash and Pokemon and maybe Bayonetta will find their way to my shelf. I'm just pretty pissed off so many games are coming late to Europe..
Navi is hella annoying and didn't even help me once. Fi was okay, didn't bother me a lot and I actually found her helpful sometimes. I don't mind some hand holding, but OH MY GOD YES THEY NEED TO REMOVE REINTRODUCING ITEMS ALL THE TIME it really pisses me off
Wait, no home run contest on wii u? I will be so so so so so pissed off if they add all the goodies and mini games to 3DS but there won't be anything extra on wii u. That is the freaking wrong direction!
@hiptanaka Agreed! I like Skyrim and MMO's for the content but they need to keep the actual plot and rpg elements to not make the world lonely and boring. I would also love if you could make decisions which affect the events in the game or that you could choose from different regions/dungeons/whatever where you want to go. Would add replay value.
Splatoon, really? I liked it too but it was still a rather simple game which I wouldn't pay more than 30 euros for. Zelda U on the other hand was just like I hoped, open Skyrim-style world yesssss! Xenoblade was a very pleasant surprise too and I'm looking forward to it.
The yoshi one looks nice, but a shame you can't connect it with the adapter Looks like I'm buying the adapter even though my 10 years old GC controller is fairly battered (or a pro controller but it's so expensive..)
All races raced, score 297. Not too good but I didn't expect much better for finishing most of the races at ~5th place :'D Well, I had a lot of fun and was in the first place a few times too. Next time better!!
@Finntendo I've got a finnish flag too mutta siis mun mielestä ukkosenjohtimet on kyllä sitä tasoa suomessa nyt ainakin ettei pitäis tulla mitään ongelmia. mä en ainakaan oo koskaan mitään sammuttanu ja ehjänä pysyy
Other than homebrews, people also used R4 cards mainly to access games that aren't available in their country (so many games are japanese-only, like Taiko no Tatsujin) or to try out games quickly before buying them. Those things could be fixed with giving out more free demos and removing the stupid region lock which is pointless and ruins everything.
@MAN1AC But how would a track editor actually work so that it would be efficient and you could actually create something more than just grassy-straightforwards-racing-plains levels with it.
Quick start is brilliant! I agree that Gamepad is improving and the image somehow does look better..? When I bought WiiU I thought the image on the pad looked quite awful and dim, now I'm happily playing off-tv MK8 in my room all the time.
@faustcoolio Seriously? One free track per month is just too much work, think about it! Maybe one in half a year. Track editor would be cool, but probably too much work too.
I think a Nintendo racing game could be amazing if they implemented it well. At now it would probably be a too big game to make though. Also they'd need to nerf some vehicles lol I mean F-zero hover crafts would beat every car and horse hands down
oh my god, I can't believe it. framerate of 59 sucks, I can't play ANYTHING WITH LESS THAN 60 GOD DAMMIT NINTENDO YOU RUINED THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111
I really hope there's gonna be third or even four characters from FE. It would be super lame if there was only Ike and Marth like in Brawl, considering how popular FE:Awakening was...
I wonder how long the remakes will go on tho. i think after this they should remake Kanto or better, some mash-up of all regions together and that would be enough.
I like the gamepad really, it's kinda like DS for having two screens and in addition it's got motion sensor and all. There's so much they could do with it, I hope they'll figure something out. It would be stupid and cowardly to back off now!
I don't know really, but they neeeed to keep 2 screens! 3DS XL size is just fine, I don't think they should go bigger. ALso better graphics obv. Ditch 3D and make a more functional eshop etc. Digital games are ok, just as long as you can transfer them easily and they're backuped, as in if you break your SD and the console they won't be gone.
I think that seems pretty good provided it turns well and all. I'd love to use the wii wheel but I hate the fact that you need BATTERIES for the wiimote... ugh.

@MAN1AC But how would a track editor actually work so that it would be efficient and you could actually create something more than just grassy-straightforwards-racing-plains levels with it.
Re: Play: Mario Kart 8 With Nintendo Life in a 10 Hour Community Tournament
Each race takes about 3min I think so 32 races would be 1,5h. See you there (I'll lose all)
Re: Poll: Should Nintendo Patch The Controversial Fire Hopping Technique In Mario Kart 8?
Doesn't look like a too big advantagement. I mean the extra speed is really marginal. Won't matter in online play imo.
