Who is getting Mario Kart 8 on Launch Day?
- Thread starter Jawile
- Start date
While I myself am not too excited for it, especially since I don't have a wiiu, I told my father it was coming out and that there would be a bundle. He loves Mario Kart and can't play MKW due to it being stolen (damn sister lending my games to friends), can't play MK7 due to... I don't know. It's too small and he's old. He was pretty excited to hear there was a new one coming out.
So the answer is: Maybe

Why was there not an option in the poll for people who are getting more than one?

We've pre-ordered it and are picking it up on launch day. I'm very excited. I'm in love with the Rainbow Road soundtracks, both of them.

I have just downloaded the 16 Retro Course themes from YouTube for now as the first time I want to hear the New Course themes is when I play them for the first time.

You know, I don't even know if I am going to get it on release day. Guess i'll just have to wait.
How did you get it today!?

I heard that some people have been getting the game early 
They just got lucky I guess... so jealous.

My electronics store here in France always puts the games on the shelves the second they get them. They never wait for the release dates. I'm know the dude works there pretty well and he told me the shipping day, I just got lucky.

Okay awesome! I'll be there then ^^
I'll have hardly touched the game when I race you guys > .< I wish I had more time to play before the race, lol
Kinda random, but what was your star ranking and VR for mk wii (asking everyone)? Just curious to see what the skill level is here.
