Who is getting Mario Kart 8 on Launch Day?

[Chromie]

I'm getting the limited edition from Nintendo World.

Anyone else going to the launch? You can pick it up early!

I've literally been watching the nintendo direct from April 30th every day since last week. I guess it kind of holds me off.

when i close my eyes, all i can see is blue shells

haha same here xD

I tend to become overexcited for certain games... The wait for MK7 was bad enough but this time it's torturous!

 

[Klauser_Bateson]

I'm super pumped for this game. I'm gonna try to find it on release day. If not, then I'll just buy an eShop card and get it digitally. I decided to play a few Mario Kart 7 GPs in anticipation of the game.

I so want to go to that! But after the Pokemon X/Y event I don't think I have it in me for another night launch event.

 

[Rodeo]

I probably am going to.

 

[ThomasNLD]

I got it reserved. I was disappointed in the mario kart wii, I hope this will be better, it looks promising.

 

[Redacted]

I have it preordered and plan on getting it on launch day. Can't wait!

THE MUSIC MAKES ME SO HAPPY

 

[Redacted]

TBT should do weekly tournaments and give out forum bells to the winner. That'd be cool

START THOSE ENGINES AND DO NOT FORGET TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINAL MARIO KART MONDAY BEFORE THE RELEASE! TBT Game Night Thread!

Justin also streams occasionally so stay tuned to The Bell Tree's Stream!

So excited!

The courses look stunning! *.*

Trying to keep an open mind with regards to the new Battle Mode since I tend to spend a good 50% of my Mario Kart time there.

The roster is... OK. I love Rosalina so I'm fine with Baby Rosaline, but the Peach one I just don't get. I wish it was Birdo at the very least but meh, the roster isn't that big of an issue for me personally.

 

[Kaiaa]

Yes! I finally preordered the bundle last night so when it comes out, give me time to set up my wii u and I will race all of you!

 

[Yui Z]

I would if I had a wii U and my piggy bank would let me buy one. I guess I'll keep checking ebay until I can finally join in the fun.

 

[Yggdrasil]

I pre-ordered it and will be picking it up as soon as gamestop opens on the 30th.

 

[Solar]

Yay Kaiaa!!! The bundle looks amazing and if I didn't already have the Wii U I would have bought it in a heartbeat!! 6 days!!

 

[Javocado]

Very excited for the release!
I'm getting a trio of pro controllers along with the game.
I'm so pumped for the new tracks, they look amazing! And don't get me started with that soundtrack, it had me like

The only thing i'm not too hyped about is some of the characters and the battle stages being gone but overall the positives greatly outweigh the negatives and I'M SO HYPED.

 

[Solar]

I agree about the characters. The roster seems really small because the characters can be clumped together so easily (babies, Koopalings, Metal, etc.) just my opinion but I don't really like the addition of the Koopalings because I feel like they kinda wasted 7 spots which could have been used for more unique and diverse characters. But Baby Rosalina gonna be my main she is just so cutee
