Tales Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Seems so, in France and Germany they're selling it since yesterday, and as @Tales is also playing, so does Norway I guess, lucky people Still nobody selling here in Holland, as far as I know. I'm bad at this game they call patience, prefer to play MK In the races I have played, the vast majority was French. In one race it was me against 10 French and one German. I have seen a couple from London though, as well as a few Japanese of course. That's all I think :p I have most of the time stayed in the lobby I joined, so I don't know of much of a problem it is joining a race early. The times I have played online, I started the race fairly quickly. Edited May 28, 2014 by Tales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f00had Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 who here has ordered from the Official Nintendo Store? My order is still in processing and awaiting "despatch" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hope the Nintendo official store delivers on time with this. Lots have pre-ordered from them and I'd like to start using them in future if they can get their act together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clownferret Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 who here has ordered from the Official Nintendo Store? My order is still in processing and awaiting "despatch" Me. I ordered a Lan adaptor a couple of weeks back and it arrived the next day, so fingers crossed. It's a bit rubbish if Nintendo can't get their own game delivered on time. Plus it's half term so a couple of days early will give my boy something to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debug Mode Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Heads up for Tesco orders. It's not actually despatched until tomorrow, so it'll be Friday delivery! A shame it's not early but ah well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit rubbish if Nintendo can't get their own game delivered on time. Plus it's half term so a couple of days early will give my boy something to do. Good news about the Lan adapter delivery. I imagine they will try not to deliver tomorrow, it wouldn't look good if they break their own release date. But I would have liked to have received it early too! Fingers cross for Friday morning! f00had, mine is also still "awaiting despatch". Clown, what time of day did you get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yesteryeargames Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Mine hasn't shipped from Nintendo store , Shopto also haven't sent my standard copy :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ealdst Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Also "Awaiting despatch" from the Nintendo online store, but I did send an enquiry regarding if they were shipping in time for launch, their response was "We anticipate customers will receive Mario Kart 8 on or before the release date" so here's hoping!!!

RedShell Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Oh how wonderful, the MK8 Miiverse community is now open to everyone (yes, even us peasants without the game ) despite the fact that Nintendo said we'd have to wait until the 30th.

Guy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Can't blame Nintendo for companies breaking the street date Agreed. This is far from their fault. A few days are nothing in the grand scheme of things. Play something else until Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.C.G Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Heads up for Tesco orders. It's not actually despatched until tomorrow, so it'll be Friday delivery! A shame it's not early but ah well! Strange, I got an e-mail at 10:51am stating that 'Your order is on its way' which I'd take to mean that it's in a van and en-route... I've got to admit it did get my hopes up thinking that it might arrive today but I'll try and manage my expectations... ...Thursday it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fused King Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Can blame them for opening the Miiverse and taunting us even more though. I don't think NINTENDO was taunting us, I think they see it as getting us excited for the game. But yeah, if you base your existence around games then the wait is a long and painful one...

Sheikah Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Heads up for Tesco orders. It's not actually despatched until tomorrow, so it'll be Friday delivery! A shame it's not early but ah well! Yup, I got the same response. I contacted them because my estimated date said Monday next week. They told me that was wrong and it'd actually be Friday. I'm not at all bothered it might come a day later than elsewhere. For me, I'd rather have a fiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestneb Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 think it was late morning... just checked my order on the Nintendo site and it states "estimated dispatch 30th May" Ferret's getting ANGRY! I got an email from them last Friday, I really don't see why they sent it when they still haven't taken payment nor changed the orders status from "awaiting despatch". Just seems really weird, it didn't help at all, because I presumed they sent it because there was some notable progress on my order. meh. Hopefully I'll get it some time late Friday morning/lunchtime then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
