Picked up a copy of MK8 from local shop at lunchtime

It's been a long time since I played a Mario Kart game, I need practice :eek:

Amazon doing discount codes now so you can get MK8D for £34.99 if you have Optimus Prime. £36.99 without.

Downloaded MK8 at midnight, its tremendous and looks great, this is going to suck up hours and hours!

Skidder · 28 Apr 2017 at 08:58

Just caved and ordered it (have the wii u one so thought i may not bother).

lakitu · 28 Apr 2017 at 09:01

Both Tetris and MK are here before 9AM! It's because somebody sent another parcel to me which was guaranteed before 9AM so the postie came early.

Got my copy from Toys r us this morning, had a load of vouchers so only cost me £7

That report makes me feel old, i'm in the 35-44 bracket now (just I might add!), only 15% of Switch purchases in this age range!

Severely tempted to buy a Switch, Zelda and MK. Skipped the Wii-U. All three for £358.

Someone tell me to do it.

McBain · 28 Apr 2017 at 14:19

Do it.

niroe · 28 Apr 2017 at 14:27

Yup, do it.!

Do it. It is a lovely thing and with Zelda and MK8D it has 2 of the best games of, well, ever.

Done. What's this about the dock scratching the screen? Do I need a protector and if so, which? Don't want a rubbish one!

Plainsong · 28 Apr 2017 at 14:51

Hori tempered screen protector. Works perfectly.

Sorry. Orzly. This one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N9RG3XS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Some people found their dock didn't leave a lot of room for error when putting the device in and taking out so ended up scratching it.

You can buy one from here https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SwitchStitchCo?ref=l2-shopheader-name courtesy of @lakitu and his GF

Cheers. Nice and thin? If there's one thing I hate on phones, it's screen protectors.

What about cases for keeping the thing in when I fetch it out of the house etc? What must-have accessories do I need?

Plainsong · 28 Apr 2017 at 15:06

I bought the official case which I like. There is a hard case on Amazon that people also seem to like on here. Personally if you're thinking of playing it through the TV a lot then the pro controller is a must.

The screen thing isn't thin thin but you won't notice. At least it won't scratch or smash!
