ReZourceman Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Always find it weird how people order from anywhere other than Shopto. If you want it on release so badly, there's only one option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Mine hasn't arrived. CHUFFING FUMING!!!! Fuck me. Refer to my earlier post. Some are getting given download codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewie Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Got an email from Nintendo with download code and also to guarantee delivery before noon tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalore Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'm glad I stuck with ShopTo. That Nintendo UK store bundle was very tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Refer to my earlier post. Some are getting given download codes YES!! Just checked me emails and I have a download code!! Disaster averted!! @Serebii you are awesome!! Also, does this mean that I will have two versions of the game? I could get rid of the physical copy no?

Ike Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Wait, what? They are giving out DL codes? I've not had any emails or texts from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clownferret Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 YES!! Just checked me emails and I have a download code!! Disaster averted!! @Serebii you are awesome!! Also, does this mean that I will have two versions of the game? I could get rid of the physical copy no? i was sorely tempted to sell the download code, but when push came to shove just wanted to play the game straight away. However, will probably sell the game when it arrives, so MK8 and Sonic Olympics for absolutely nothing. It's their own fault for fucking up the deliveries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Fair play to Nintendo for the download codes thing. That is a surprisingly decent resolution for people who got screwed over on late delivery. I'm impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 My limited edition didn't arrive from the Nintendo official UK store today either (not that I noticed ) and I've also been sent a download code! :awesome: This time tomorrow I'll have 3 copies of Mario Kart 8! Anyway, I think that was a brilliant move by the official UK store, good customer service that definitely get's them some brownie points with me.

welsh_gamer Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Nintendo Store buyers! Use the second (third in some cases ) Club Nintendo code to create a new account and claim another FREE game too! Don't forget to link your current CN account with your NNID before downloading the game, if you haven't done so yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Use the second (third in some cases ) Club Nintendo code to create a new account and claim another FREE game too!LOL.Can you then use all of those codes on the same Wii U though? Or would it also require setting up 3 different NNIDs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 LOL.Can you then use all of those codes on the same Wii U though? Or would it also require setting up 3 different NNIDs? Yep - codes are not unique to a NNID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Fuck me are they mental? Also, am I the only one who quite likes battle mode? As a cod style death match it's fun. Arenas and last man standing would make it incredible, but for what it is I quite like it. Way better than I thought it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yep - codes are not unique to a NNID. I'm gonna need to get a hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Oh yeah, can I just thank everyone who input into the MH3 vs NSMBU question earlier. I just went back and read all the comments and they were very helpful. Great community. Winning post was this, which made me spit peas from my mouth. New Super Mario Bros. Wii U Pro - Nothing Con - If you buy this game you've made the wrong decision Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Pro - Everything Con - If you don't buy this game...I'll let you guess the end of this sentence. In regards to Mario Kart 8 - the fluidity of the tracks, gradients and smoothness....levels etc....all of these are the next step in Mario Kart, and just like powersliding, vehicle customisation and parasails that came before them, it seems like an evolution for Mario Kart, and one that can no longer be shed. I don't word myself well but what I mean is - if this kind of thing doesn't continue into the franchie's future it will be a sad thing. Going to play more tonight. I am a little concerned I haven't unlocked Diddy Kong yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aneres11 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Is Waaaaaaluigi in the roster from the start? He is! And after all my pink gold peach chat, it's waluigi i've enjoyed using the most so far?! I am going through all the characters to test them out but some of the lighter characters feel a bit slippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 They should have done like a time limited 2 day download or something. Happy for everyone that got the full download free though and definitely encourage them to grab all the free games they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Can you still do the stunts as you go off a ramp for a speed boost? Yes, but cars have stunts as well. They all give a speed boost. Someone mentioned that bikes are easier to turn, but are slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Picked this up from GAME earlier, very nearly was given the standard edition. Had to point out i had an order for the Blue Shell edition. First race i had, was hit by the Blue Shell. Found a solution to that. Did all the 50cc cups earlier, nice choice of tracks on the retro courses. Bit disappointed in the lack of GBA tracks, but it's all good none the less. Only used the standard kart so far, standard parts etc. This is one fine game, easily the best in the Mario Kart series. And one game that will keep bringing me back for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
