Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.
Mario Kart 8 Official General Discussion
- Thread starter Justin
- Start date
Hyrule Circuit looks pretty fun to ride on, I like the special requirements for the Master Sword to be pulled out.
Mute City looks like a great tribute. It makes me sad that F-Zero is pretty much dead, I kinda wish they'd make another installment. But that's about as likely as Chrono Break coming out in the coming year.
Excitebike Arena looks pretty hectic which is good. Lots of good possible placements for items to screw over other people.
That would have been a much more enjoyable video without Giggle and Gaggle being bad and the purely amateuristic video editing.

Dragon driftway being played on GameXplain. They also do Excitebike, Mute city and Hyrule circuit 1 player, and then have a 4 minute talk on playing the game I think? (haven't watched them yet)

Ahknow, everything looks awesome. I think I'm actually more excited for this DLC than everything else at the moment. 
I also like that a little triforce appears if Link goes through the master sword ~ or atleast I've seen it once then, not sure if it's just one of his tricks though.
Now we effectively fully know 7 of the 8 tracks. Ice ice outpost we only have 2 tiny clips and a freeze frame, I believe though. Also hoping that an option for playing a round of 40 races appears in the versus rules.
And I love the new glider. The glider selection has been feeling shafted I feel.
My only disappointment is where the tracks are on the menu. Triforce cup should be on top, and all the retro tracks (and excitebike as it's retro) should be in the Yoshi egg cup on the bottom row. Like, WHO ORGANISED THIS?! ~ Though this does group 3 'flat' tracks together. (as in without water/gliding/0-gravity anywhere)

Another video. Gives a better angle on Ice Ice Outpost and a couple different clips, and an image of Dry Bowser at the end.

Some more angles of Ice Ice Outpost and others. We can probably piece together the whole route on that track now.

I was so looking forward to this month because of the DLC
I just can't wait for it to come out (we need a release date already) and the fact that DLC stages will be available online is just the best thing ever

I'll be streaming Mario Kart 8 tonight if anyone's interested!
This time, I'll be shooting to start a little earlier at 8PM. I'll put up a link here when it's closer to that time.

You should also stream on Thursday when the DLC drops
I plan to. : )
Though it'll have to be much earlier in the day, since a friend of mine is streaming the MK8 DLC that night. I don't want my stream to end up at the same time as theirs.
I would be if it was later, maybe Friday. I'd like to try out the courses in single player first, get a feel for them.

Unfortunately, I have to cancel the stream. Twitch is having technical issues and I've been told it's not just on my end, so... can't stream without my channel. :S Dang. I had everything all set up to go, too.
I'll see about putting it off until 8:30PM/9PM EST and maybe Twitch will have resolved their issues by then.
Edit again: Yeah, got confirmation from Twitch's support end. They're investigating the site loading issues. I'll shoot for 8:30PM EST and if they're not good by then, I'll go for 9PM.

Twitch is working now, so I'll be streaming at 8:30PM EST.
Stream will be here: http://www.twitch.tv/shiirahime
I guess the timing works out, since the WiiU wants to perform a system update right now anyway. lol
By the way, anyone here who wants me to add you to friends list so you can play on the stream, please lend me your Nintendo Network IDs! Mine is right there in the sidebar.
