Phenomenal. :awesome:I can't listen to this soundtrack without continuous shivers up and down my spine, it's just amazing. The fusion of electronic and classical is so so good, and I'm actually in love with that distorted synth on the Electrodrome track. Biggest disappointment is how they've handled SNES Donut Plains. Nowhere near enough percussion and removing the Samba whistle is absolute sacrilege! The Hammond organ on it is great, but it could have been so much better. Even that can't stop this soundtrack from being incredible though. Then there's the title theme... Audio Which is just ridiculously good. That Jazz-Funk rendition of the Super Mario Kart theme @1:03 is perfection. :love::love:

Intended to post this earlier but got my quarters muddled up Anyway... Summary of Q1: Wii U = 4 3DS = 9 Wii U eShop = 7 3DS eShop = 14 Wii U VC = 12 3DS VC = 8 Total = 54 Just 4 Wii U retail games is pretty awful, especially when only 1 of them is significant. Q2 is obviously going to be a big improvement though, the situation has been so bad it can only get better.

That was incredible.

days to go...

Reggie's robot acting is actually pretty good. He didn't have to change much. Anyway, I'm not really fussed about Nintendo continuing this sort of approach to E3. As long as I get to watch the announcements/trailers, it's all good.

Indeed. Whenever I see people playing MK like that now, I'm always reminded of this: It never fails to amuse me.

Looks about right to me. We're obviously not seeing it at 60fps either (far from it with that vid ) but yeah, don't be expecting MK8 to be any slower/faster than previous games in the series. It's unlikely that's the final build of the game. We're probably not going to be seeing any of that kind of stuff until just before the game gets released, or if Nintendo do a MK8 Direct.

VS gameplay starting at 21:30 on this vid: The lighting in MK8 is just astonishing. Game looks incredible even on a crappy 360p quality YT vid.

Awesome stuff. I wanted to have a go at doing that myself, but gave up as it was bloody difficult. BTW, spoiler warning for those that were avoiding the latest trailer, it's playing throughout that vid.

She's gotta be shooting to the left for bum emphasis.

Not sure as I haven't played for a while now. Was doing great on my last few matches though. Well, that must be because someone has already taken them, because I did put a couple of players up when I got R. Lampkin. It doesn't actually let you into the friend market without offering one of your own players first, remember?

Of course you are.

Nintendo's advertising efforts have indeed been pretty damn terrible recently, but I'd be seriously disappointed if they screwed up with MK8. I mean, it pretty much advertises itself! :awesome: All they have to do is stick some gameplay footage on TV and it's job done. I just hope they don't do something like this again: As much as I personally enjoy watching Harry Redknapp not having a clue at even pretending to play a game, it does not make for good advertising.

Anyone else get a message from ShopTo about choosing the T-Shirt size? I'd rather decline the T-Shirt altogether, as I'm thinking it could potentially delay receiving the game.

Only skimmed through it, but I very much agree with the part at the end of the vid, about how Japanese devs should continue to focus on what they do best, rather than try to create games specifically for the western market without proper understanding of the culture. Well made games targeted at the Japanese will indeed find an audience outside of Japan, so there's no need to change.

Those aren't trees... That's a tree.

Fair enough. Weird though.

30th is a Wednesday, that can't be right? Added Stick it to the Man and Denpa Men 3 though, cheers. : peace:

Not really. Hehehe! Just a little Easter egg I chucked in for a laugh. I know you're a happy gamer.

Man, Nintendo are starting to go nuts with DLC.

Loving that.

Yes, yes and Hell yes. I always try not to get too hyped for E3, but it never works out. And this year is going to be excitement overload. The combo of playing MK8 + Nintendo's E3 goodness is gonna be awesome. Not really thought about predictions. It's pointless anyway, Nintendo simply can't be predicted. I will say this though, with Mario, Pikmin and DK already out, plus MK and Smash pretty much done and dusted, it means mucho surprises must be heading our way.

Hahaha! Check out 1:43 on that vid. Looks like my awesome hammer skills will actually be useful in MH4. That's pretty damn sweet how you can now attack after being launched like that, rather than just slamming into the ground. :awesome: Still really hoping a Wii U version gets revealed. If it doesn't happen I'll still get MH4 on 3DS, but there's no doubt that I'd rather play it on Wii U.

R. Lampkin is now at RedShell FC. But I renamed him Mokong.
