Another reason to be excited...

I'm not fussed about getting the limited edition.

 

Only reason for me to get the limited edition is to put the blue shell trophy on a shelf and yell at it after each league night.

Well, to be fair, they announced Super Luigi Bros as part of NES Remix 2...

 

That was last week, right? :heh:

 

Seriously, where is this year (actual calendar Jan-Dec) year going?

Classic. :grin:

 

I think you should get it specifically for that reason. Take it out on the Spiny Shell figurine, and you'll perhaps moan about it a bit less to us. :laughing:Yeah right. :heh:

I jog around 8-10 on each day, but that doesn't change this.

 

When we're younger, a day seems long, summers last forever, but that's because the frame of reference is so large. When you're our age, though, the frame of reference shows it to be a small portion of your life, so it always seems shorter.

 

I'm not clutching at straws, honest :p

That bullet bill t-shirt looks awesome. I was gonna wait it out because the last few Mario Kart games haven't really done it for me but I think I'll have to pre-order now.

 

I wish they did a mega bundle with the t-shirt, key ring, game and shell!

I also read our brain cycle slows. so a younger person has maybe 100 cps, where as an older person may be experiencing closer to 70/80 when (those are arbitrary numbers).

So and hour is 36000 cycles for the younger individual, but for the older individual it' slows to about 25/29000.

 

That's also my excuse in video games, in effect, due to my inferior processing skills, I am now automatically handicapped :D

 

I'll be interested to see how well I can use the feather in mario kart to jump red shells etc... I suspect that my ability will be either very much inferior, or entirely absent :(

That t-shirt is nice, much better than the usual promotional t-shirts which are covered in game logos. I don't think I can be bothered faffing around with multiple pre orders just to get the game on launch day as well as having all the limited edition items.

 

Sticking with my standard ShopTo pre order, unless the urge for all the extras becomes overwhelming closer to launch. :p

Dropped down a pre-order on this at the Nintendo online store. Their bundle is superior to the one at GAME and after the Mario 3D World pre-order sleeve mess, not keen on dealing with GAME again.

 

Definitely not expecting delivery on release day though. I'll probably grab a copy on release day and return it after.

It'll be better than ever as long as Nintendo don't screw us over with the online modes.

 

League table format is complete and @RedShell is working on a few things for me.

Been playing around with this for the league for the last hour as I thought I'd revamp the layout.

Which of the backgrounds should I go with and any ideas for a better font that'll stand out better.

 

@RedShell, how are the new icons coming along and the GP 1,2 & 3 logos?

Nice. icon14.gif

What did you make those in?

First background is better IMO.

They're on the way, will PM you soon. :)
