Well I've had the game since launch and it took a while for the circle pad issues to pop up.Since october 3rd, almost 90 hours at this point. Competitively and casually, but there isn't a difference with how hard I press it whether I play Comp. or Cas., so that shouldn't matter.
And I love Rainbow Road 8. One of my favs honestly.
And I love MK8's Rainbow Road in terms of aesthetics, but I hated how bland, short, and simple the track itself was. Out of all the tracks in the entire game it's easily the least interesting. There was so much missed opportunity in Rainbow Road for a game that introduced ANTI GRAVITY.
