No where near enough, I expected the MK8 hype to outshine the Sonynet for at least a week.


To outshine what?It's popularity is pretty big in my opinion.The positive voices about this game are only getting louder.

We've already established that the internet belongs to Sony.

Also I'm making an allusion to supernovae, and how they outshine thier host galaxy. But for those in the in the system around the MK8 star, it might appear that its the only thing in the sky, allusion to the Sun.

The game does look good.

Footage from the direct was positively jaw-dropping!

Can't wait to show off my Mario Kart TV clips!

I foresee many family members jumping in to play Mario Kart!

The bundle is an amazing deal btw -- I think anyone with a legit interest in WiiU at all has their eye on it.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I will say that there's a surprising amount of downplaying going on for a game on a console that's supposed to be a non-factor.

Same thing happened with Titanfall and Driveclub. Downplaying is just something to get used to on a gaming forum. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

This bundle is surely a great move and a step in the right direction for Nintendo.It offers great value as it also gives another game for free too.I hope many gamers learn about it and react positively.

It's likely the single biggest game the Wii U will ever get, so there better be lot's of excitement for it! And yeah I'm partly to blame for all them MK8 threads. :L

Ummm ...it's because there is nothing else notable on the WiiU. For me personally I don't care for it and have not played Mario Kart since the original on the SNES.

As mentioned it won't "save" the Wii u but it can give it a boost. If MK8 can generate the right kind of interest and then Nintendo drop a great E3 it might just make things better, if only marginal.

But Nintendo being Nintendo and Iwata being Iwata ...

At last I can finally play another Wii u game since SM3DW that seems so loooong ago.
