Anyone else think the on-screen map is a bit... small? I don't want to sound ungrateful or anything, but it's hardly useful due to how compressed it is in size. Ehhh...
Hey guys, does anyone knows if the DLC counts as ClubNintendo points?
I feel like such a piece of shit looking at my win/loss if that's what you're talking about...so I agree.
So, November release for the first one puts it around par for the Hyrule Warriors release.
May of next year...would be a good time to release an Animal Crossing game for the Wii U.
I hope they put Dry Bowser in as the helper now that Isabelle is busy with racing.
HELLO MAYOR. YES I HAVE HEARD FROM THE VILLAGERS. THEY ALL WANT YOU TO BUILD ME A NEW CASTLE.
They TOTALLY listened to all of our feedback. I posted an image + my ideas awhile back here at the GAF. Nintendo's update almost followed it to a 'T'...even the font.
Still no Diddy kong or Dixie kong in mario kart 8?
Maybe there is more DLC?!
Future pack should include Samus and a gunship kart, different colored Koopa Troopas and Toads as a pre-order incentive.

And Kamek. Kamek needs to make his MK debut, dammit!

Don't you mean Samus, Zero Suit Samus and Baby Samus? Also a Ridley Bike...Future pack should include Samus and a gunship kart, different colored Koopa Troopas and Toads as a pre-order incentive.
This. I've been waiting for Magikoopa since he got cut from Mario Kart 64.

It's more like, after the update, I notice I'm getting fewer points for wins and more points for losses under similar race conditions pre-update. In MK8 it's always been that the number of points you receive after each race is determined by both your overall placement and your number of race points relative to the other players in the lobby (e.g. you can get 9th or 10th in a race and still not lose any points if you're the lowest-score person in the lobby or you lose points if you place below 3rd or 4th if you're the highest), but after the update, I'm losing the same number of points for 6th-place finishes in a full lobby that I was losing for 11th/12th place finishes even when there are multiple people with higher race points than me in the lobby. A finish that would maybe earn or lose me 1 or 2 points now loses me 10 to 15.
I have a high total of race points (7700+ currently) so I'm wondering if the update rebalanced how points are awarded after matches to make it harder to accumulate race points in general as your overall number of points increase.
Wait what??? If true, that's lame.
A friend also claimed to have seen somebody with over 10,000 VR yesterday. Have others seen that? Did they lift the cap?
EDIT: Yeah, looked around a bit and looks like they DID lift the cap, and also massively change the scaling of VR based on finish.
So you're now telling me that if I get combo'd back from 1st to 12th in a lobby in which I'm the highest VR, what used to be a 25 point swing may now be a 50 point swing?
Goddammit Nintendo. One step forward, two steps back...
Dry Bowser is such a weird choice for the only veteran to bring back via DLC.
Not that I'm complaining, I like him. Just a weird choice.
8970. I knew I was damn close to getting that Gold Glider!

The original system already was a step back from MK7, this just sounds super rage inducing.
I've been asking for this in my club Nintendo surveys, and told them to throw some monita outfits in bayonetta for that extra synergy.OMG please don't even joke...Day Zero. And I'd rename the day National Monita Day.
There's a Gold Glider? What?
A guy on gamefaqs reported that in a lobby full of similar skill and similar VR (all close to 10000 for example), the scale seems to go 1st: 15, 2nd: 12..... 11th: -25, 12th: -30.
That means if those 12 people spend a couple hours together, on average, THEY ALL WILL LOSE VR, possible a lot of VR. That's broken as fuck. C'mon, Nintendo...
After the changes to point allocation, I'm not going to play MK8 online nearly as much. The amount of decent placements it now takes to compensate for one bad loss is absurd and I'm not going to sink hours into online if an hour of progress in a tough lobby can be instantly wiped away.
Was there any hidden tweaks to balance the characters or do heavyweight's still outclass a lot of other characters?

Do we know anything about the new courses yet?
No. The total amount is around zero, like in Mario Kart Wii (where it was fixed zero). That's flat out wrong. In fact, it's even slightly less punishing than Mario Kart Wii.
Then what's an accurate distribution from 1st to 12th for a lobby with everybody close to 10k? Was the guy on gamefaqs lying? (and it wasn't just one person claiming this)
If I'm able to get on tonight I guess I'll find out for myself.
