So pretty...

Way to oversimplify while attempting to be condescending.

As has been said countless times, for Nintendo to go third party, they'd have to downsize considerably. Their output would become annualised and smaller games will no longer exist. Nintendo going third party is not what anybody who is actually into gaming should want.

I'm thinking secret characters. It's quite unlikely that they have revealed all the characters a month before launch.

Mario Kart TV will just log all the data without continually sending and receiving extra data. The game receives the data anyway and the game logs it for Mario Kart TV. Voice chat, on the other hand, is a constant stream of sound.

That's pretty much it. Plus, it would take bandwidth which could affect latency, so I'm all for it.

From the PR Mario Kart 8 Bonus Game Promotion: Whether Mario Kart 8 is purchased at retail or via Nintendo eShop, if you register an accompanying Club Nintendo PIN code of the game with Club Nintendo between 30th May 2014 (10:00 CEST) and 31st July 2014 (23:59 CEST), you will be eligible to receive a free download code for one of 10 selected Wii U games* by 31st August 2014 (23:59 CEST). This offer also applies to Club Nintendo PIN codes included in the Mario Kart 8 Limited Edition software offering and Mario Kart 8 Premium Pack – Special Edition hardware bundle. More details of this promotion will follow at a later date here. You're overthinking it

So, Wii U £250 Mario Kart 8 bundles are eligible for the second game. That makes the price even more tantalising, does it not?

Not eShop. According to the official Twitter, you just have to register it on Club Nintendo!

No 3DS games have these things listed. It's a Wii U listing.

Wii Sports Club lists: Supports Internet Play Online Multiplayer Online Multiplayer Leaderboards Miiverse Call of Duty Ghosts lists nothing, just that it supports online Need for Speed: Most Wanted U lists Supports Internet Play Online Multiplayer Leaderboards Miiverse Game Chat Monster Hunter 3 also lists it as Game Chat. So, it's happening!

The Palutena statue

Pic of the day. With the Super Leaf, any fighter can have ears and a tail. You can also float in the air by pressing the jump button. We're still figuring out whether you'll be able to attack with the tail...

It has now been added to it! http://www.gonintendo.com/s/227285-mario-kart-8-eshop-listing-now-includes-game-chat-mention?sid=c7e8de4055826ee602de672f6019316b

Let's hope that it gets localised. Don't see why it won't, though.

It's me following our agreement to not to derail threads with arguments :p

Rewatched it today and it was over 50% non-Nintendo stuff in that interview

You do that :p

I'm just pissed that one of my secret hopes got shot down No Urban Champion 2

Last year annoyed me. During "Nintendo Hour", they had Mega64 (the guys from this video) there to talk about Nintendo, and Keighley was constantly trying to change the subject to talk about Halo, the PS4 etc.
