Mario Kart 8 review

You can set up friends lobbies and all chat pre race using the gameplay. That's quite good.

Have Nintendo ever patched games with fan requested improvements?

[nakamura]

I'm not sure. They did patch the shortcuts in 7 at least.

[hudson]

Patched the shortcuts? Like added them or literally patched them up? Lol

Is it literally a case of one friend sets up the lobby and everybody else joins?

[dataDave]

Yeah.

Had a look at the world record for Mario Stadium and there seems to be some hopping trickery going on post-drift. Anyone know what that is?

Not sure, some of the real fast people can get boosts via cornering very very quickly it seems, will all settle down and become clear pretty soon I'm sure.

All MK8 WR's and top ten's are in first and second posts in this thread for anyone interested

I also think the online options are perfectly good - fast, simple, straight in for good laughs. Perfect.
I like how there's more options in the tournaments yet am equally perfectly happy with the defaults. I also like the draw of the points - find I get annoyed if I loss any!

Still not quite sure what my vechical of choice is yet.... I'm happy with the sports car an more recently the fire scooter.... But not quite right! Waitin for The One to click with me
Really am loving the new track designs. The courses are brilliant - quite spectacular

This is the best Mario Kart since Super. It's just a pity the battle mode was ruined.

[Adam Stone]

Yeah - I agree with that. I'm really Hoping we get some battle mode tracks via dlc eventually ..
