Hehehe! Don't tell me you ain't slightly pissed off as well.

Nintendo should update the description on the Miiverse community: That, or just flick the switch on the eShop so everyone can play the bloody game already.

Don't think I'm gonna make it... ... *thud*

BREAKING NEWS! The amount of posts in the MK8 Miiverse community increases immensely, as stores all over mainland Europe (especially in France by the looks of things ) decide to completely ignore the street date and sell the game early. Seriously, why have UK retailers gotta be such pussies?

Such an amazing tune. :awesome: I'd so be downloading this on Thursday, if we lived in an alternate reality where Nintendo didn't make really poor decisions regarding their release schedules. Genuinely surprised there's anything going up on the eShop this week. And when I think of all those weeks gone by, with not a single decent download... Is it really that difficult for Nintendo to think about release dates from the perspective of the customers?

Quite possibly the finest GIF I've ever seen.

I can't believe there's a 21 page thread about that on neogaf. Actually... I can.

Dat Zelda medley.

Yeah, the ND was pretty cheesy had a lot of info though. Anyway, if didn't/doesn't make you want the game, I don't think anything will.

Next week. I'm counting the seconds. Have you watched any of the trailers, the ND?

Yeah, DF seem to think it could be sorted via patch so you never know. I'm not really clued-up when it comes to exactly what can be sorted with patches, but get the impression frame-rate is something that can be fiddled with. I know for sure that the up-to-date version of Bayonetta on PS3 is no way near as bad as it apparently was at launch.

Digital Foundry vs Mario Kart 8 Seems there is some slight inconsistency in the frame-rate. Really looking forward to finally playing the game next week, see if I can notice this. But yeah, 59fps is still awesome considering the quality of the visuals. :awesome:

Yep, 10 new challenges for each course...

Yeah it's not very clear at all. Basically you need to go back into the section where you originally bought the DLC pack (Toad's shop or whatever it's called) and from there it will sign into your NNID/connect to the eShop and download the extra content.It doesn't even confirm completion of the download. I remember thinking to myself "has it downloaded?" went back to the main game and sure enough, there was Nabbit and the extra courses. Pretty weird system.

Nintendo Teams Up With E4 For Mario Kart TV Promotion Pretty cool idea.

Indeed. I have thought about this before, it's definitely something that I'd love to see included, and if it was a traditional rhythm game (with Simon Says style gameplay) then I imagine it could be. But seeing as Wii Music has to adapt each track based on the input of the player in real-time, I get the feeling custom songs could be a difficult, perhaps even impossible addition?

@Hero\-of\-Time, when you watching 2006? The intro to that conference was something else. :awesome:

I know the majority of people won't give a shit (or even be annoyed at the possibility of a new Mii Music) but I reckon this has some serious potential. As anyone that really got into Wii Music will know, it was actually a fantastic piece of software. I spent over 100 immensely enjoyable hours with it, and have longed for a sequel ever since. If they sort the issue of track variation, especially increasing the number of Nintendo tracks available, then it could be a real winner. I'll just quote my wishlist from the Wii Music thread... Dual Wii Remote drumming is a must as well. One thing's for sure, this is definitely a title that could make great use of the GamePad and Miiverse.

Yep. That was definitely one of the most epic moments in N-E MK league history. Although there have been many more, including loads on MK7 (as you'll be well aware ) that unfortunately weren't recorded due to lack of an easy way to capture footage. A lot of the spectacular MK7 moments really had an impact on the framerate and produced some major slowdown. Gonna be interesting to see if we can break the silky smooth 60fps on MK8 too.

Duuuuuuude... You gotta join. This. The league is awesome. :awesome:Seriously, and theme GPs are especially amazing, not to mention something that you're unlikely to experience when playing the game in local (or random online) multiplayer. 12 players using exactly the same character/vehicle setup simultaneously is a sight to behold! I can't wait to witness carnage like this in HD on MK8!:

New DLC is live! 2 more 18 hole courses + Nabbit.

Same here. Now to pray that the additional weight of a T-Shirt doesn't mean it'll take longer for royal mail to deliver it... ...I'm not confident. Well, it's currently second on their all format pre-order chart: Watch Dogs PS4 Excl… Mario Kart 8 Inc Fr… Far Cry 4 Limited E… Watch Dogs Far Cry 4 Limited E… The Last of Us Rema… Murdered Soul Suspe… Halo 5: Guardians EA Sports UFC Inc B… PS4 Console Inc Wat…

I decided to try and find the answer to this. Downloaded all of the Mii icons that have posted in the MK8 community, deleted the duplicates (different facial expressions) and the result was this: 323 images! So that's at least 323 bastards people that are currently playing MK8. The online mode must be buzzing by now.
