TheMightyEthan Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Yeah but it's free! But it ruins the game (if you actually download it, I'm not dumb enough to say it's ruined just cause it exists). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I know I shouldn't be, but I'm most intrigued about the animal crossing track. Hope they do a discount for buying both packs. as it is they seem to have priced it just under what it would cost if you split up the main game so that's quite good value as most dlc is worse value than the full game. I wonder if you'll be able to use it in online multi player, seems unlikely at least in random matchups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I was just downloading the free Mercedes cars (don't judge me!) and you can already purchase the two DLC packs even though the LoZ isn't out until november and the Animal Corssing one is may. That's seems pretty weird and un-Nintendo. Anyway, they're £7 each or both for £11 so that's an OK saving and didn't show any sign it was a limited time offer. I think I'll buy the double pack when the first one comes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I bought the double pack and decided to download the Mercedes DLC. I dunno... it was free DLC. There's something alluring to FREE that I'm willing to see what the cars are like in-game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Damn, they're adding Animal Crossing characters? Now I have to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Atomsk88, are you entering the mercedes tournament? You may as well go the whole hog, it will be an absolute vision with every single racer tearing around the track in their shiny new mercs.

CorgiShinobi Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Oh, I haven't had time to jump back into Mario Kart 8. Just finished up Crown of the Old Iron King DLC for Dark Souls 2 last night and I'll probably get back to Infamous: Second Son soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Here's how the Amiibo's work with the Mii racer in MK8. Pretty cute. This is what I just watched to get an idea of some of the new courses. It's nice to see the amount of detail they've put in to make the courses unique to the franchise they're representing. This is just F-Zero course, Zelda course and Excite Bike course but they have a whole race on each, not just the trailers where you can't really see what's going on. I find the Nintendo Minute's really relaxing to watch - even when they're playing Mario Kart. It's funny to see them muting their frustration in the middle of a race.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 It looks insane. Can't wait to have a go but will definitely be in permanent eighth place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yeah, 150 still kicks my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Woah. That's a comparison between 150 and 200. That's insane, can you image if it was compared to 50CC, you'd have completed the fast one before the 50CC was over the starting line. This one shows with the higher speed you can use new shortcuts. I wonder if that means this was planned from the start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 The one he uses at the beginning of the video definitely looks planned, but then the second one looks like it could just be something that became possible at higher speed but wasn't originally planned for.

CorgiShinobi Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 If you ask me, it's not planned as really all the player/user did was connect all the pipes as one connected stream whereas before you you chose which pipes to get you across the gap. 200cc is opening up the chance for unconventional shortcuts if anything as you might not have thought of taking a Mushroom Boost across a track corner as you'd never make the distance. Now you have the speed to cover greater lengths, though I wouldn't get too ambitious as even in 150cc too much speed can ruin the flow of the track.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Anyone playing the Mario Kart Tour app? It's surprisingly good so far. My code is 4175 0234 3626, though I believe you should be able to see me in your list if we're already friends on switch, where I think I'd show up as, "Joe"?
