I absolutely love this game :D one thing that has let me down just a little.

 

I was hoping that I would be able to play on the GamePad while another 4 players played on the TV, but this is not the case :(

 

Other than that, amazing fun with local multiplayer so far :)

Got my Wii U on Friday with MK8 and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! Got Wind Waker as my promotional game, and also got ZombiU as well which I got for ?5 a couple of weeks ago.

I wasn't expecting exactly this, but when playing split screen I would have liked to just see my screen instead of also seeing everyone else's as well...if you get what I mean.

The Nintendo page for the free game promotion says the codes for the free game isn't sent out til the end of August... Is this really true?

I have to wait 3 months for my free game if I bug MK8 ? Nintendo really sucks at these things...

 

I don't think so. Brian said on the first page he got his code instantly

 

Got my copy in the post this morning. Wow is all I can say. This is the best game Nintendo have pushed out since the 64. It's one of those games I'm not going to be able to put down for a while.

I grabbed a copy of Sonic (I already own the other better games in the list). The code was delivered instantly.

 

I've read Club Nintendo was getting really bogged down though, so maybe they're spacing it out to deal with the heavy load. People were holding off as it burns the code upon use

I bought it 3 days ago and got the code instantly.

I think what they meant to say is that you have until the end of August to claim your free game. If you don't do it by then, then it's NO CODE FOR YOU.

Ummm so I ended up buying the game today, but I just realized.. Where to I get the pin code I register to get the game key for my bonus game?

Been busy playing MK with the GF so I didn't realize I forgot about the pin code... Bought it on the e-shop and you're supposed to get the pin there somewhere as well...

If you got it on the eshop it will automatically show up on club.nintendo.com . If you don't have an account on club nintendo, make one and then link it on the eshop. If it still doesn't show up then contact nintendo support.

Don't forget to get your $5 back for MK8 through the digital deluxe promotion (if you have a 32gb wii u that is). You'll also get another $5 code when you download the free game for a total of $10 off.

Not sure if the promotion is different in Norway/Europe.

But we don't have a club Nintendo, so I had to get the pin from the eshop receipt. Which was well hidden in the slow as eshop GUI. The. I got the mail that said the actual game code will be send me between the 11-31th of August or so....

Nintendo has the worst online system and promotion system ever...

Interesting because over here we got it instantly without any hassle. The games automatically get linked too. The free game was available instantly too.

The only complaint I had with their online system is nothing is really explained to you, you have to know certain things exist to tale advantage of them....like the digital deluxe promotion. That and the E shop sucks dick.

You could try emailing Nintendo and see if they'll give you the free game instantly because waiting till August is retarded

I dont think they can detach the gamepad since there are a few games that require it.  So unless they change the packaging on said games.. not going to happen. 

 

OT - Really hate losing a race at the last second... Ive had to re-do cups multiple times because I wanted the 3 stars...

Yeah it's pretty stupid how if you get slammed at the end of the third or fourth race you have to start over.

 

I'm seriously over the whole, double red shell, blue shell then lightning, sometimes sprinkled with a bit of green shell right before the finish thing...

    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
