Mario Kart 8 Official General Discussion

Alrighty, I'm gonna start playing in a little over 10 minutes.

If you are interested in playing with me, let me know.
We can do 1v1's or more if other people or just follow online.

Wish that it wasn't 4am right now. 3:

I don't remember the last time I didn't mushroom over that grass even even if I'm in a higher place in the race, it seems like it happens everytime.

Yep, 11/12 people get this everytime. And I count them by. :p
 
I'm not surprised to hear that a lot of people are getting mushrooms at the same moment, mainly because the top frontrunner is so far ahead to pretty much everybody else that the item distribution system is thinking that giving mushrooms to everyone is the best solution.

To be clearer, which item you get is determined by the distance between you and the top frontrunner.
 
Does this game favor Japanese players? Its really suspicious that only they get the good items, only they blast ahead on mushrooms and only those weird "Player" miis will come in with less than 1000 points and race a million miles ahead of everyone. I just played a race with everyone around 4000 points but then 2 Japanese players came in with 22,000 and they were virtually unbeatable what the hell!?

I've always said that this didn't make sense. Everyone gets mushrooms at once, no one can pass each other it becomes a stalemate immediately and no one can get out of it. Thanks to their lousy roulette programming for races with less people, what position you start the race usually is where you'll end it because no one can take each other out at all.
 
I just got MK8 today with the DLC bundle. I love it so much.

Oh congrats! I got mine on Decemeber 26th (same day I got my Wii U). It's an amazing game! Who do you know/think you'll mainly play as?

Thanks! I absolutely love it so far. I have been playing as Peach/Link. I alternate between the two. I've been trying to unlock all the characters.

I'm assuming you play as Rosie?
 
Well the e-shop updates on Thursdays. And DLC pack 1, and the mercedes DLC both came with the e-shop updates on thursdays. So its safe to assume this'll be the case again.

It's definitely May though. It's written all over the DLC. :p
I thought it'd align with the 1 year aniversary of MK8. but the last Thursday is the 28th, and with Splatoon coming the 29th and the fact end of May/beginning of June is always gaming news galore I expect it'll be earlier in the month. ~ Last pack came out on the 13th of Nov, so probably the 14th?
 
So how many tracks have been confirmed yet? 2? I know there's the tree one, the animal crossing one, and then I guess that's it. Then there's the question of the other 3 cups that've been found. If the Yoshi one became DLC, I wonder if the other 3 will, too.

AC and the tree have images.
A text dump says Baby Park (MK: DD), Neo Bowser city / Koopa city (MK7) and another new track 'Metro' are coming too.

We've also had nothing on the karts we'll be getting. ~ I still want Gracies old car. xD I can see a new leaf glider coming too. ~ maybe made to look like the leaf umbrella. :p
