Discuss Mario Kart 8 (Wii U), news, the latest pictures and videos!

You could just go on your Wii U to see me playing the game on your frien..ohh wait, that's right. Sorry, had to use that joke one last time. Smilie

Nah mate, here you go. Cake and all too.

I was just gonna say, is that that dirty fucking cake you got last year, you scruffy bastard? Then I realised your birthday was recently.

Yes, enjoy the game. Hopefully mine comes tomorrow.

I'm kinda glad it's not come today because I need to do shit, and it would only distract me to hell lol.

LOL, that is indeed the cake from last year! XD The cake is all dried up and rock solid now, doesn't smell or anything either, no worries there! I got a new one this year based on Pokémon, but I didn't put it in there because I don't think I've shared that one here before, so it wouldn't work as proof.

I'm not gonna play too much today, got job applications to sort out and can't slow down with Tales of Vesperia again.

Even wasps would turn away from that cake. Wasp repellant cake, I need one!

Cakes are meant to be eaten!

I find this harder to believe than the fact that you already got your copy Smilie.

You would cut through a cake that has a marzipan Link and other Zelda stuff on it? You monster!

This is the base of that cake, just look at it. Only has jam in it, which can easily dry up and the rest of the cake practically turned solid. Marzipan figures are also extremely durable.

Is this a combined effort to detract from the fact that I got it early? Smilie Where is Lewis anyway, his reaction should be good. Smilie

I've just been crying for the past 30 minutes xD Luckily shopto have dispatched mine so with any luck I should have it by tomorrow.
I dunno why as well but I really fancy some cake now Smilie

Shopto just dispatched mine, second class though. -_- I thought they always did first class? Looks like I won't be getting it early.

Thats weird L, they've dispatched mine first class o.o maybe you had the option on second class by accident?

Did you order the special edition?

Mine got dispatched earlier from ShopTo, as well. I really hope it comes tomorrow, but I don't want to get my hopes up and get all excited though, since Royal Mail have failed me sometimes.

Nah just the standard edition with the t shirt.

Mine got despatched today from GAME. Hope it arrives tomorrow as there'll be no one in to accept delivery on Friday (got a free Wheel with it Smilie )

Bit of DSL for the OP.

That probably explains it then, Shopto were too cheap to ship the special editions first class. XP

Anyways can you guys believe it's been 6 years since we all played Mario Kart Wii together, time is moving too fast.Smilie


 

 
Two highlight reels that I uploaded earlier! Played a few hours of it today, it's amazing! Not that anyone doubted that, of course. Smilie

How did you find the tweaks in bikes SL? When I first played, it look some time to adjust to the timings in turnings - some of the other "inline drift" bikes are better though!

It takes some time to get used to it, but I think it actually works really well and feels like a more balanced solution. Not missing those from Mario Kart Wii at all, although on some longer straights I still think about doing wheelies before realising I can't. Glad they're gone, though, it was kind of annoying having to do them all the damn time.

I do like how some karts handle, but inside drifting bikes are what I'm all about, and it'll likely stay that way.

All games have their own official topic by default :]

On topic: I guess my MK & Wii U will arrive tomorrow.

Bollocks, sorry! I'm on mobile if that's any excuse. Smilie

On topic, damn you Nintendo for sticking to your eshop release date! 

All the videos from MKTV uploads look really blocky(due to compression). I've unlocked all the cups now, trying to get all the other unlockables now.

This is probably the best highlight reel I'm ever going to get. For some background info here, it was late at night and I was only missing Mirror Special Cup with three stars and had two previous attempts in a row, where I got killed right in front of the finish line on this track. Third time's the charm, and just look how freaking close it was. Mental meltdown right there. Marzy and Rudy were on a Skype call to witness me absolutely losing it. Legendary.
