That promotion of free game is really neat.... IF THE FREAKING NINTENDO CLUB WOULD BE AVAILABLE EVEN NEAR HERE!
Region locking is already bad enough. There was promotion that buying 8€ firts mario kart gets you 8€ discount to mario kart 8... yay...

Going highly off topic here, but I agree. I've got a huge amount of consoles, a ton of games and a wide amount of accessories with CN codes. Oh well, if and when it comes here, I'll have a treat with tons of coins!

Also, I've had a pre-order for the game for a while. Depends a bit on how it'll look closer to launch if I'll buy it straight away. Probably won't get any cheaper in the near future if MK Wii is any indicator..

Mario Kart 8 is looking pretty good right now, pretty psyched on how its come about. I guess the only thing I would like is how competitive racing becomes, sure there are tournaments and the "no item" options but to me, in a race, if someone's in dead first or dead last, it pretty hard to make a comeback while in the race unless in the anti-gravity areas that aspect is accomplished so maybe items will be still the standard in competitive racing maybe banning blue shell and super horn.

I guess in terms of customization, I would like to see more as well, maybe customizing kart colors, adding decals, customizing the characters costumes, and stuff like that would be a cool extra for the game and maybe custom tracks (if not in the game already)

Been a while since I've played MK, but hope it turns out fun.

How the hell did we get from MK8 to analog/digital R L triggers?

It's a racing game and all controllers nowadays have triggers except the Wii U official controllers.

Even when I play GT4 on my PS3 using the DualShock 3 it can sense the precision of speed due to the use of the triggers that DS3 has.

This is so backwards of Nintendo to do this. :-/

Wii U does have triggers, they are just digital. It doesn't even fucking matter because Mario Kart doesn't need the gimmicky extra precision anyways. It was shoehorned in Double Dash and had no real use because you're going to be wanting to go full speed anyways. Drifting is always used for cutting corners. This is not an issue at all.

EDIT: Nevermind I just remembered Double Dash never even used the gamecube's analog triggers for accelerating. Why you're talking about this on this thread I have no idea.

The Gamecube had Triggers but then the Wii happened.
Anyway outside of MGS Games I never saw a purpose in Triggers.

Never played Pikmin growing up, and I'm like halfway through Wind Waker on Dolphin emulator. I want to finish it smoothly and with great graphics, so I'll probably get Wind Waker.

In my experience, I'd pick Zelda over Pikmin any day. Pikmin is a really hard game to get into, and it's audience is definitely very niche.

so long as this game supports classic controller, i can use an adapter to use my GCN controller :3

I am niche! The trick to Pikmin is learning how to take out enemies using only a few Pikmin (not gobs) at a time, being patient, calling them back to you before they get gobbled, then attack again. Basically it's military tactics for underdogs. I've beaten Pikmin 1 losing (IIRC) only two Pikmin, and Pikmin 2 losing only six (?). Again, that's rough memory but it was something like that, and those losses were basically just from wanting to be done since I'd beaten the final boss. Both games totally can be beaten without losing a single Pikmin, I just didn't have the patience. It's a masterpiece game concept, though I haven't played Pikmin 3 yet so no idea if it's on-par with the other 2 games.

According to this http://www.howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=7044 roughly 13 to 15 hours, 20 if you complete everything

Edit: And, are there issues with the server?

Oh, nice. I'm actually leaning towards Pikmin.
