But then everyone would bitch about it, because the negativity towards the plot and some of the character design overrides everything about that game apparently.

You're right, the reaction to the bad plot and character design totally overshadows the bad combat, bad level design and bad controls

I bought MK8 when it launched, and got it for like $11 off through Amazon. Then I got the free game to go with it. The free game got me a bunch of Club Nintendo coins and DDP points. The Club Nintendo coins put me over the edge to get a free game through Club Nintendo. The free game also got me DDP and Club Nintendo coins. Those CN coins put me into Gold status for the year. That got me another free game. That free game put me over the edge for another DDP rebate, of which I now have $10. I will apply that to the DLC, which will then cost me $2.

Hot drat. MK8, three extra games, and all the DLC for like $51. Sometimes I'm glad Nintendo is poo poo at the internet and doesn't know how to put restrictions on promotions like this. Hell, the DLC will probably even end up getting me some DDP points, too.

I decided to try going for the gold kart and I thought you only had to get one star on the Mirror cups, but then it didn't unlock. Guess I have to do the 150 too, that's not going to be fun...

I've done all of 150cc but doing mirror is killing me. I'm just loving awful at the special cup and the leaf cup, I always crash out on the desert or on Rainbow Road or fall off on Melody Motorway. It's weird because I three starred the lightning cup on Mirror and 150cc straight away with no retries.

I'm sorry that I can't hate a suit design just because there is a bad game behind it.

As much as I loved the Prime Series, Tank Samus was far too slow and heavy for my liking.

Sorry but Prime Samus is best Samus, both for being the best game and for being a gigantic truck

I wonder what the "favorites" in the stats are based on. It says my favorite course is Toad Harbor for some reason, despite never picking it as an option in online play. I'm guessing it's based on time trials, but it's really weird that they equate "favorite" with "played a bunch of times trying to beat the staff ghost."

Got my gold kart today though, used it in online with black Yoshi a bit. 7000 more coins until gold glider!

I really hope the Navi "Hey!" or "Hey, listen!" is his horn. I want to chase people around the track just blaring that at them constantly, dodging the item boxes as I go.

Yeah, I think it's slightly bugged in some ways, since I spent a night doing Battle mode online and it says i've lost 8 balloons and popped 0. WELL under what I did that night for both.

Also the win and loss numbers are counting how many opponents you won and lost to, not the races them selves, so it's likely recorded well under 118 races for you.

Again a very likpatous story
Tonight as I played online I came to a very clear and very sad conclusion.

Everybody hates Shy Guy Falls. Why does everybody hate Shy Guy Falls? :( There was one time it was a choice between that, Sherbet Land, and Dry Dry Desert, and everybody picked everything BUT Shy Guy Falls except me. And it wasn't "Maybe they had just done that track a bit before you came in" because I had been in the room for about an hour with those people. And no matter where I went, regional or worldwide, almost nobody picked Shy Guy Falls when it came up.

Electrodrome is still a super popular track though, almost everybody picks it whenever it's a choice.

I don't like Shy Guy Falls either, but I'd pick it a million times before selecting Dry Dry Desert.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
With them adding in Link, do you think there's much point in Nintendo holding off on making a Nintendo Kart instead of just Mario Kart?

It seems like we could get a ton of creative new levels and characters if they were opened up beyond the Mario universe.

I don't know why Nintendo insists on a new desert track in every Mario Kart when they're usually the most boring tracks.

Also every vote with Moo Moo Meadows in it seems rigged towards that track, especially when it's at the expense of the Star Cup courses. I never want to play it again :mad:

Moo Moo Meadows has some kind of bug that makes the randomizer stop on it more times then it should. I've been in a group of 7 people and 1 person kept picking it to gently caress with us and it always landed on it.

Hey now, Bone Dry Dunes (the new one in this one) is absolutely fantastic and may very well be my favourite track in the entire game :colbert:
I also don't mind Moo Moo Meadows all that much. Dry Dry Desert can go die in a ditch for all I care, though.
