My NNID: NinPie. Add me in order to race in the Official Tourneys on Saturdays.

ATTENTION: Other Tournaments that are hosted in this thread are posted in the second post below this, along with their times. Please make sure to check the second post for those Tournaments/Races as well as the Official MK8 Leaderboard!

Final Information: Tourneys will be hosted on Saturdays in this very thread. However, I'm leaving it up to you guys to pick what time they will happen. Of course I'll pick when it all comes down to it (because it needs to work for me as well in order to be able to set this thread up for a Tourney), but I do want your input. I'm also taking into consideration different timezones, so please post below and enter your option in the poll above.

Are you hyped Ninpie? Was this your first E3 here?

Nope. I was here last year. I made the "Who Is Winning E3 2012 So Far?" Thread.

What was your favorite aspect of MK8? Notice anything that you liked?

This game is going to get some serious game time from me when I get it! It should be released before Christmas though, that's the only negative thing I can say about it.
