We need to have a temp tourney, soon.

Yes please.

That'd be fun and even more in the Battle Mode, but BM is pretty mediocre.

Nintendo could fix it by releasing DLC stages for this mode for free as a compensation for their poor effort in this regard.

Well, they did release Zelda and Yoshi DLC stages for Sonic Lost World for free of charge. I really like Zelda and Yoshi stages in SLW, they're better than the stages the original game offers.

I need this game badly

Here's a question that hopefully someone knows the answer to:

Wasn't this game supposed to be shipped with red Wii U game cases? The ones I see in retail shops are all the standard blue Wii U game cases.

Mine has came with a red case. Weird.

I guess it's a regional thing then.

JP = Blue cases
EU = Blue cases
US = Red cases

Oh well, I don't mind it, at least it doesn't stick out from the rest and as the cover itself is blue too seems fitting nonetheless.

Edit: Mario Kart 8 on Amazon Japan has an overall rating of 3.5/5 which is more or less a 7-ish of 10 (OK score). http://www.amazon.co.jp/任天堂-WUP-P-AMKJ-JPN-マリオカート8/dp/B00IFTTOAK

I asked Zavvi when I'd get my Mario Kart 8 and they said it's on 'Special Order', I guess I'll have some priority over other orders but what I want is just to get the game this upcoming week!

Been playing LCU and already on the 9th mission out of 15th.. not really a very long game. The loading times are what makes it actually long. Damn those long ass loadings!

Nope, it just takes ages to load the actual game.

No freezes on me at all.

you said you've never played LCU

Dammit, I thought you were talking about MK8

Edit: Bollocks, derped

I'm already on Mission #10 and it hasn't froze on me.

From what I read there's 15 Missions of the Story Mode in total, dammit I had thought this had way more than just 15 missions oh well one each day I guess to make it last a bit longer.

Edit: Two cool shots of LCU below (1x riding a T-Rex, 1x riding a pig). I wish I could ride the T-Rex at any time given.

 

[Bladexdsl]

ok but it's gonna freeze at some point and the worst thing is you won't know when...it's completely random. that's why i sold all my lego games on the wiiu and i'm not playing them again. they use 1 engine to make them and have never solved a fatal flaw in it causing the freeze it usually happens after you've completed the main story that's when it started to do it for me. so just be prepared.

anyway back on topic....

Somehow it doesn't piss me off half as much as snaking did on MKDS, but yeah they need to patch that shite soon as (along with the duplicate frame judder, though that's not really as important)

MK8 Retains UK #2 spot, despite a new multi-format release, and the World Cup starting this week (I was expecting the game to creep up the charts as a result). Impressive!

 

[Bladexdsl]

mk8 saves the wiiu

 

[Bladexdsl]

NVM it's fake

It's nowhere near as bad as snaking. I did that too because it was really the only way to keep up. Is it really bad enough to patch? I mean the guy I seen doing it didn't even win.

Never notice any judder.
