If it's dead why can't you make another?  Now is the perfect time to do a MK8 hype and info thread with all the new info, videos and deals coming out.  Then we can have this all in one place 

 

Because I'll get banhammered! NintendoPie is going to bring the thread back soon! Anyway, that's what this thread is for! I'll be updating the OP with any new tidbits I find!

Start the official Tourny thread already, do like 5 post so we can have records/etc!!!


Still too early! My Day 1 tournament thread goes up a week before release!

?? O_O

We need time to unlock all the shit and get used to the tracks... and here in Australia we get it on the 31st =(

You could at least wait untill the usual Sunday time... thats all the time I will need to beat the game =P

Conegamer is having his tournament on Sunday, NintendoPie's on Saturday, so that only leaves me with Friday, the day the game releases!

Actually you also have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or a different time slot on Saturday or Sunday =P

I generally don't have time/can't play early enough during the week, and the game does not release until the 30th (a Friday) anyway. Also, I barely convinced them to let me have this tournament as it is! If you want to try hosting one at those different time slots on Saturday/Sunday, go ahead! All I'll say is, good luck! xD

-Wii U Mario Kart 8 bundle in NA includes the aforementioned plus a Mario themed Wii motion plus controller and a matching Wii Wheel, all for $330. Glad I took that target deal lol! Not to say this still isn't a good deal even if you don't care about the Wiimote, because it is thanks to the bundled in MK8 being the physical copy, meaning it too can be registered to get a free game!

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

New info added to OP courtesy of GameXplain! Battle Mode is back to being survival based rather than point based! Also when you lose, you become a ghost who can screw up other players! Added a link to their video in the OP, so be sure to check em out!

Very true! Still good to have the physical copy of the game bundled!

I only said it so people didn't think they can only get the free game by physical copies.

Damn, this game looks so damn nice!

Missed an important detail! Up to 2 local players can play online, just like in MKWii! Was hoping for it to be up to 4 though. :L

Have they said anything about the framerate that the 2 player online will run on? I remember them stating them for the other modes:

Singleplayer - 720p 60fps

2 Player Multiplayer - 720p 60fps

3 and 4 Player Multiplayer - 720p 30fps (Which sucks BTW).

So Mario Kart 8 is going to be my first "spoiled" Mario Kart, I never looked up anything before buying the past games :P
