*** The Official MK8D Thread ***

Sooooo. It didn't turn up. Amazon failing yet again. That's the last time I use them regardless if they're cheaper.

Bought it from the e-shop instead, and will send the amazon copy back. Unless there is interest in here if anyone wants a physical copy ? I might put it up for retail in MM?
Yea they normally suck for me two and same for console release days but they got switch to me on time and this mk8 game came today.
 
The switch I ordered from them was on time.

Turns out the game was dropped off at my door at 5pm by Hermes :rolleyes:

Wish they'd have just sent it Royal Mail cause then it would have been on time.
 
How is everyone playing this? I got my Switch today so going to try with the controller adapter thing that comes with it, but thinking the pro controller is in my future.
 
God bless Mario Kart!
Indeed :D

Sometimes I feel I win (or rather I only feel like I win... which is rare!) just because there is a crush amongst 2nd to 5th... if you gain a 'substantial' lead towards the start it's almost impossible for anyone to catch up with you, depending on what weapons everyone else gets.

Also getting coins from a box - whyyyy :mad:

Has anyone tried playing with friends online yet? Whenever I try, it tells me I have no registered friends, even though I do have friends who are currently online and also playing this game :(
 
That's the primary reason for adding the ability to hold 2 items.
Makes sense.

Open to all - what's the deal with the 'antigrav' spinning in this game? Not that I've given it too much thought but is the right idea to closely pass, but not actually hit, the spinny things in the track? Also, who gets the advantage if you bump someone from the back? It was far too manic to figure out the bumping mechanics during my session.

(Yeah I know I can google but I like the chats and dialogue on here)

All I know is the heavier characters handle horribly. Yoshi 4eva <3
 
If you hit someone you both get a boost, if you hit a solid bumper you also get a boost.

In this game the light characters are by far the best because of the advanced boosting techniques.

I've been using the pro controller best for games like this i find i always do even when it's out the dock when she's watching her soaps I use the kick stand and still use the pro controller I just find it more comfotable. Hardly used the joy come but keep them attached still.
 
If anyone wants to add me for some MK racing....

Joined the Switch family yesterday and am decidedly friend-less.
