Blade Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) So I guess I'm the only one picking it up sometime next week? I'm not in this weekend so I'd not bothered reserving a copy etc. Funnily enough i'm not in this weekend. Still going to get a copy day 1 You could grab it and have a few races Saturday morning Edited May 27, 2014 by Blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmsly Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I spent too long trying to decide if I should get the limited edition or normal version of this game. I chose just to get the normal version, since that Blue Shell statue doesn't really seem worth an extra £20. Knowing my luck, we'll find out its secretly a NFC toy that unlocks a bunch of cool stuff lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedShell Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Why are you doing this to yourself? What? I didn't go hunting around the Art Academy community looking for Mario Kart related artwork, if that's what you mean. (I'm obsessed, but not that obsessed. )I've been following that artist on Miiverse for quite a while now (so their posts appear in my Activity Feed) and they just happened to do a piece based on MK8.

Tales Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Someone said whole of France got the game early? That certaintly shows online :p Majority of those I have played against online are French, as well as a few Japanese. I wonder how lostmario's tournament will work though. Doesn't seem like you can vote for any course, but from a set offered to you, like in most online games. Or maybe it works differently in private lobbies?

Aneres11 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 You know my hype levels are increasing when I'm passing the time creating a new MK signature... which I neeeever do. Starmie's in retirement... for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazza Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 They're all really good adverts (and show the free game promotion), so if this doesn't work I don't know what will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aneres11 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I just placed a pre-order with ShopTo as well as keeping my Nintendo online shop order. I didn't choose a T-Shirt size as I don't really want a Tee and I'll be getting one with my Nintendo store order. Do you think that could possibly delay my order as I haven't selected one or do you think they'll just process and send without a Tee? I'd rather just not have a Tee and avoid the possibility of the order being delayed because of it. (Potentially) Urgh. I would just wait for the Ninty store order but I have zero faith in that arriving before next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostmario Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I wonder how lostmario's tournament will work though. Doesn't seem like you can vote for any course, but from a set offered to you, like in most online games. Or maybe it works differently in private lobbies? I think they've done that in public games to stop people picking the same courses again and again, doubt it'll be like that in private lobbies. If it is though, we'll work around it.

Nyubi Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 For those located in the Netherlands, @markderoos @Fused King afaik Wehkamp.nl is apparantly sending the game today if you order before 22:00 (€57 incl. shipping). And according to the Mycom.nl site the game will be delivered tomorrow if you order before 23:30 (€55 total). So if you're in a gambling mood... (I'm still not sure if I crave it enough for the 5-7 euro extra) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have a preorder at mycom, but they're known for releaseday shenanigans Best bet seems to be watching Dutch gaming forums for when the first Media Markt shop starts selling it. After that, they drop like flies within an hour All scared of the almighty embargo monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
