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...

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.
