well this is unfortunate. I can never connect to other players when I try to go on line in MK8D. :( I get the same error code too.

are there any ebay or best buy or whatever deals on eshop cards? I wanna get mk8 and if i can save a little bit, even better!

Best Buy's Gamers Club Unlocked is $30 for 2 years and gets you 20% off games (unlike Prime, they don't have to be new releases.) if you plan on buying 3 games in the next 2 years, it's worth it and pays for itself.

Boo zombie apocalypse.
Hooray beer!
The worst change in MK8D is that it no longer shows the state/province of players in multiplayer lobbies. I need people to see how badly they get beat by the state of New Hampshire.

Just spent 4 hours playing MK8D with some friends online, feeling pretty good. Thanks Switch.

:colbert: what the poo poo is this.

God damnit Microsoft you ruined online play for everybody. First Sony now Nintendo.

Well at the very least if I'm gonna pay for online in 2018 it better work. Nintendo needs to learn how to internet.

It's a question of upkeep really. The Wii didn't have much in the way of dedicated online (and the job was farmed out to GameSpy's servers :rip:), the WiiU had all of maybe two or three games with an online scene (Mario Kart, Splatoon and uh.... Devil's Thirphhhahahahahaha). Going for a console that theoretically can take some third-party online games, along with Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, ARMS or whatever else pops out in its lifespan would actually justify some upkeep costs. Nevermind voice chat across it all. They should really bundle the Pokemon Bank fee into it though.

Got Mario Kart

Figured I'd have a test race on the first cup on 50cc

On the last lap I was so far ahead I got hit by three red shells, two blue shells and two lightnings.

Still won, but lol never change MK

Xbox Live has always been good. PSN was poo poo until they started charging money. Nintendo's previous free online offerings have been bad... maybe there's a pattern?

PSN is still awful. The download speeds are deplorable and the connectivity with other players is nowhere near as good as Microsoft's.

Not to mention they don't host any servers of their own like XBL does and basically just charge to use your own internet connection. PSN is nowhere near as good as it should be. The PS+ rewards have also gotten a lot worse as time has gone one.

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

Not usually a framrate whore. But MK is so drat smooth that dropping to 30 in multiplayer feels noticeably worse.

Also its odd having the item wheel spinning silky smooth.

Someone try to do online multiplayer on a flight, like an LA to NY trip, with two people playing split screen using the split joy cons. That would be some next level poo poo.

They're going to be making DLC for the game, there's no way they aren't. I forget what Mii outfits were in the Wii U version but having the Sonic and Megaman outfits in MK8DX make me hopeful for Megaman and Sonic-themed DLC, among others.

Live has had consecutive months of barely functioning network, especially after Xbone release, you also needed Gold to even watch any streaming service for the longest time.
You get freaking charged for the privilege of P2P multiplayer.

Man watching some of those matches from the ARMS tournament. I was hoping getting it at release would give me an even playing field with everyone else as a new fighting game but these people are pulling off poo poo I can't even keep track of after just two play sessions. This must be what being Krillen is like in Dragon Ball Z
