Same with me, some games I just can't dig on a competitive level because it's not fun for me when played that way.

I mean, I care for my rating on MK8 online but other than that I'm not really interested in the way competitive Mario Kart players in real life.

Stars, blue shells, red shells and the like, I love it.

Smash I can do both, I prefer that I do competitive play since I find it to be the fighter of my suiting. Mario Kart just doesn't do it.
Same goes for me. I always play Mario Kart in a casual manner. I haven't played MK8 online yet, and I may stop caring about my versus rating from here on out.

I played mario kart 7 online very often, but I only play local mario kart 8, or with friends. I prefer local mario kart 8 than online.

Aside from the few ATs that were put into MK8, and the glorious time that was Mario Kart DS (so I'm told), Mario Kart, by its design, isn't very competitive.

Mario Kart DS is the best MK game period, not even MKWii and its Funky Kong ****fest manage to keep up with it.
Mario Kart wasn't made to be competitive.

I don't think it matters what that number is because eon worldwide it is still unbareable slow

Speaking of MK8, I need to use karts more often

However, it should be pointed out that developer intention is irrelevant to the actual state of being a game is or ends up in.

True, but for all intents and purposes, the base game is not competitive. It's a matter of preference.
however, getting salty because someone hit you with a red, green, blue shell or even a Super Horn is amusing competitively

Good Evening, guys.

I was randomly browsing TV Tropes, and came upon a gem.
There was a Hawaiian king named 'Kamehameha'. Seriously.

:231:
Hawaii actually has a really fascinating, yet pretty tragic, history. American Imperialism and colonization really ****ed them over. :/

Kamehameha I was their first king and the one to unify the islands, IIRC. The Kamehameha dynasty was followed by the Kalakaua dynasty. Sometime later they got overthrown by their would-be usurpers.


Sad, really.

That reminds me, why doesn't the N3DS have a wireless switch?
To save internal space and costs from the added components, much like having a very inconveniently placed micro SD slot. The wireless switch I don't miss, since it seems to close out of the eshop faster and you can turn it on or off from the home menu, but the SD card thing is kinda terrible.

Other then that, the system is really nice. I've always been a fan of the 3D and the super stable 3D is much appreciated in fast-paced games like KIU and SSB3D, as are the extra buttons. (It acts like a Circle Pad Pro for games that support it.) The amiibo support is pretty nice too since I have a pretty decent collection. It's much louder then the XL, so you don't need headphones to actually hear in public, although the sound quality dropped a tad. But if I'm looking for sound quality I use my good headphones anyway.

You were looking into buying one right? I'm satisfied with mine from launch, but I play a ton of Smash. Well, I know LoZ:TFH supports it (nothing meaningful so far though) and obviously AC:HHH does too. Every CPP compatible game can make use of it, and a few eshop games do too. If you're interested in the amiibo I'd wait and see the price of the reader before buying, and there's always price drops and new colors and limited additions around the corner. And whatever the NX is.

No!
There's no way that we'd do what those horrible European countries used to do! We're the anti-Europe!

Glorious. I suggest adding Bom-ombs and Motion Sensor Bombs for more "fun".

Hmm... I guess I'll read up on it in my next Wiki Walk. Sounds interesting.

Wasn't Philippines the closest thing to an American colony? :p

Philippines is basically the most known, yeah. But we were still straight-up ***** to the Hawaiians. :p

That's not even mentioning the Dole fiasco.

IIRC, there's a tribe of islanders that haven't even been touched by man yet. Which means they're behind in so many generations. So back that they believe they haven't mastered controlling fire yet. :4megaman:They plan to keep them untouched by our technology.

And, if I recall, anyone that tries to visit those islanders gets attacked by them too.
