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.

I got my code instantly. I think maybe the promotion lasts until the end of August?

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...

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
