Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[N3ON]

I dig the red cases. Nintendo is red, PS is blue, Xbox is green. As it should be.


Also 24 is a lot of new courses holy ****.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Okay. There is one potential problem though.

EB Games has been known to put fake stuff on.

For example, they put a Shovel Knight Smash amiibo up for a while.

[Blargg888]

In fact, on the subject of Mario Kart courses I hope to see return, there's also Daisy Hills, Boo
Lake, Wario Colosseum, and Toad's Factory.

I know.

I'm just worried the art is fake and we won't get the Mario Kart 8 of our dreams and/or Skyrim Special Edition.

This just appeared on the Switch subreddit half an hour ago:

praline : Ideas I had for your Chimney Pokemon stuff? Mortrix > Xirstack. First one is Mortar + Brix, second is Xirb(brix spelled backwards) + Stack.

I like it. Thank you!

This just appeared on the Switch subreddit half an hour ago:

Are Splatoon, "Mario 3D", and Mario Kart just ports of WiiU games or new Switch games with tentative titles entirely?

This just appeared on the Switch subreddit half an hour ago:

Darksiders seems to be a pretty economic option compared to the rest.

 

[Animegamingnerd]

Not sure if this has been posted yet. But here is a zoom in on the Mario Kart box art.

Either that is an insane attention to detail or this is a real box art and we are getting 24 new tracks, 10 new characters, and a all new battle mode.

 

[praline]

so EB Games dun ****** up

Spoiler: switch news

Now I need. Who could be the other 9 new characters? Diddy, Birdo..?

I'd love like King Bob-Omb and E. Gadd.

I can only assume based off of rumours and what we know, I'm guessing that Splatoon and Mario Kart are ports and Mario 3D is a Switch game.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Well, I never got Mighty No 9 when I supported it, and I haven't received Shantae Half Genie Hero after supporting it either

I am never going to support a kickstarter again

 

[PLATINUM7]

EB Games no longer has the games listed, just the console and pro controller.

 

[Opossum]

Holy ****.

I'm so happy I skipped out on Mario Kart 8 now. That's a LOT of extra content.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Hopefully MK8 will be good now.
If the roster gets fixed it's already a decent game, with 200cc being base game it gets even better.

Man at one hand I'm so hyped but at the other hand I'm so sad that I bought the dumpster fire version.

This happened to me twice already.

I bought Hyrule Warriors WiiU and I bought Smash 3DS.
And now I'm probably gonna buy the Switch versions for both games instead of the current upgrades.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

No you didn't.

That's the good version.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

No you didn't.

That's the good version.

You mean the non-portable one without the good DLC and with wonky Adventure Map balancing?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

No I mean the one with stable framerate, the one that gets the character DLC and co-op.

 

[Opossum]

One thing I'm wondering is if the "24 tracks, 10 characters" thing includes the Wii U DLC. If that's the case then it's only four brand new guys and two Cups, IIRC.

Still though, that's neat.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Wait why wouldn't they add new kart parts?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

They might have but its not the most exciting thing to put on the front of the box.

ALL-NEW Battle Mode!
24 NEW Courses!
10 NEW Characters!

...

5 NEW Wheels!

*Does some math*

4 DLC Cups (16 DLC Tracks)
6 DLC Characters (Dry Bowser, Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Link, Villager, Isabelle)

24 - 16 = 8 New Tracks (2 New Cups)
10 - 6 = 4 New Characters (King Boo and three others)

 

[WeirdChillFever]

I can't wair for all the hype trains to start rolling at the Switch presentation.
There's Mario Kart characters to speculate on, Splatoon weapons, maybe Smash starts up again, Super Mario Switch looks interesting,

 

[Opossum]

Prediction time!

If it's ten new guys including the DLC, then I think it'll be King Boo, Diddy Kong, Bowser Jr., and Birdo. They were easily the four biggest omissions.

If all ten are brand new...I'd add on Dry Bones (he wasn't in before, right?), Petey, Hammer Bro, Nabbit, E. Gadd, and one more guest (Kirby or Inkling most likely).

 

[Deleted member]

Dry Bones (he wasn't in before, right?)

He hasn't been playable in a Mario Kart game since Wii.

I hope it doesn't include DLC because four new characters can't fix this boring roster.
Imo, MK7's roster > MK8 because the former introduced Wiggler and Wiggler is the best addition to Mario Kart in a long while. (Besides Lakitu)

I agree on Wiggler, yeah. But 7 had a notable lack of Waluigi.


Waa.

 

[Wolfie557]

Out of returning characters I'd like Dry Bones the most. He was always one of my most played in Wii and DS.

Then Honey Queen because I was never rrly a fan of Wiggler. ROB returning would be cool but Id rather have someone new like...Kirby.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

I hope MK8+ has new new characters instead of bringing back old characters only.

 

[Burruni]

Diddy
Birdo
Bowser Jr.
Funky
Nabbit
Kamek
King Boo
Kirby
Olimar
ROB

I stand by this being the odd mix for our new 10.

 

[Frostwraith]

Wasn't around much for the past few days, but I'm dropping by to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Let 2017 be a better year for everyone.

 

[Ivander]

And once again, my luck turns out great for this Overwatch event. Before getting any things with my currency, I decided to try and get one more Lootbox with a Legendary to test my luck with one of the other 3 Christmas Legendaries I haven't gotten yet. I was right to do so, as I got a box with the Zarya Christmas Emote(So much love). And I have enough currency to get both Santaclad and Nutcracker for Torb and Zen. While my luck wasn't as insane as during the Halloween Event where I got all 4 Legendaries in a row without any duplicates, still turns out my luck was still good with this event. Nice!

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

You should send an email and tweet at Wayforward

It turns out that the leak from earlier was fake.

There was a problem fetching the tweet
