I guess it ain't out in America yet then? Ah well...shouldn't be too long.

Alright, here's a bit of news on how this Mario Kart 7 Tourney will go down:

Upcoming Events

A new Mario Kart 7 Tournament will take place (provisionally) on Sunday 17th November 3PM 12PM PST/8PM GMT! To join, merely post in the thread and be online approximately 15 minutes before the tourney is set to begin. You don't need to know any friend codes, merely the community which you will be in for the races! If there are more than 6 entrants, then we will split into 2 groups (Group 1 and Group 2). The top three from these two groups will go forward into the final, where you race the best the site has to offer! If there are 6 or fewer people, then everyone goes straight into the finals! 

The tourney will take place if 5 or more people are willing to take part. If not, then it shall be delayed until the following Sunday, where I shall renegotiate timings. 

Prizes

1st- 25 Coins, 3 Stars

2nd- 15 Coins, 2 Stars

3rd- 10 Coins, 1 Star

4th or below- 3 Coins

As always, I'm open to answering any questions that may need answering. Also, be sure to check out the OP. There's a lot of new stuff up there, and it's constantly evolving! (If you've missed some news, then check out Post 5. That contains a news dump where I post all the big stuff). 

Most importantly, please join! This is a community project and I can only do so much! So get the word out; let people know about it. And if you can't do Mario Kart 7, then what can you do? Is there another game you'd like to have a challenge against us all on? If so, then let me know either here or via a PM and I'll see what I can do. Not every event will include games, ofcourse. For some, all you'll need is this thread, so keep an eye out for them as well!

I literally have no idea what any of that stuff means, I thought you just had to trade friend codes. Does Mario Kart 7 have some robust online features I'm unaware of?

Me and my 3DS would like to join in! I haven't been part of a tournament before, but someone gots to end up in last place ey! :D

Well you can just go online and click on communities, type in the code I gave you and there you are! It'll make sense in practice I promise!

Heh, that position is reserved for me

But you're more than welcome to try and wrestle that away from me!

You can try, but I'll never catch you!

Sooooooooooooo, am I supposed to just pick one of the two groups in the OP?

Group One with meee! (55-8388-9137-0413)

You're in the OP now!

Here's the previous poll in it's entirity. What do you think about that then? Thanks also to all who voted!

Is it too late for the Wii U?

No, Nintendo are on top of it.  155   36.47%

No, hopefully...56   13.18%

No, but it's not going to be easy from here.171    40.24%

Yes  43   10.12%

Total:425

New poll: With the upcoming releases of a new Mario game, a new Zelda game, Wii Sports Club and Wii Fit U, I noticed a pattern. Each game is almost directly tied to a previous game in the series. So my question is, regardless of the quality of these IPs, do Nintendo need new ones?
