I'm personally not interested in getting the game in the near future, moreso at the price point proposed (which is more than what I paid for the Wii U version AND the DLC packs!). I've never been too big on the battle mode, and it doesn't seem like the old traditional "last man standing" version will be there neither.

And the other minor additions don't give an excuse to play the game as a time trialer, assuming the gameplay remains identical like some of the players that got a hands-on on the demo are claiming.

I could still end up with the game as my brothers are somewhat interested in the new characters and the new battle mode variants like Bob-omb Blast, but even then I don't see myself playing it much with Splatoon 2 on the horizon.

I should be there for the proper sequel though

As of right now, I don't think I'll be getting it, but I voted "I'm not sure" for the time being.

Cole, Mick and I have already decided that we're going to have separate charts on the same Players' Page for the MK8 Deluxe. This will likely also apply to MKWRs. I've already begun work on this for the new version of the MK8 PP I'm working on programming. That being said, down the road if we decide that the games are similar enough, we will make combined charts (this will likely not happen until I finish the new PP).

The reason we are not going to combine the charts right from the start is because there are too many unknowns. We don't know if there will be minor changes in the physics that are too small to easily notice, and we don't know how the new karts or characters could affect things. Then there's the question of controller advantages as you pointed out. Also, some people will want to know when a time was set with the Deluxe version of the game, or may only want to compete with people who are playing the same version as them.

Have you decided if there will be a separate board on this mb for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe yet?

I'm leaning towards not buying MK8D.  Too much money for essentially the same game.  Maybe if it was $49.99 instead of $79.99, I'd consider it.

I might get it since I dont even have a wii U in the first place

Nice collection

As for getting this version of 8 yes only because of a return of a old favorite i've long to play since the original release Bowser Jr!!!

also i cannot let the clan population overtake this game as well as troll and other threats that will keep game all the more less enjoyable because of possibilities like this

and for those in the know yes, anti-clans are here to stay regardless of versions of a game previously release.

...I'll probably end up buying it.  

Not much do do on my Switch after finishing Zelda.

Ikr. It's such a rip off to pay an extra $20 for main content not in mk8 that's been in past mk games. Nintendo's such a retarded company these days

Don't really care. It's still a waste of money as I've already explained. Besides, that just means I spent more money to buy regular MK8 + dlc, when I should've instead been a psychic and waited until now to get everything and more for $60. Yeah, not sure how I'm just a blind hater here

Well assuming you bought MK8, that means you spent $120+ on that one game. Explain how we're crazy for thinking it was $80 and you're not crazy for paying even more than that? More power to you though. You're doing exactly what Nintendo wants you to do. You paid for MK8, and you paid for the same game to make up for the Wii U's failure.  

I got $80 from this post

Supy wrote on 02/08/17 at 19:51:25:


I took that for granted rather than searching for it. So no, that wasn't just a random number I made up. I'm not delusional. I realize it's $60 now, so why must you insist to reemerge this? Plus, if everyone now knows what I previously said is incorrect, how exactly I'm I misleading anyone? All someone has to do now is read ahead to get the truth; or you know, goggle google it. You're exaggerating this just a bit I say. Though I'm sure in your mind, I'm exaggerating this altogether, so I guess we're of a more even playing field  

I'm not mocking the game's quality at all. Very much the opposite. It's just that my experience with MK8 was not as memorable nor as fun as some other MK games I've played, or other games in general. At worst, it was shit and I wish I never bought it; sadly I lean more towards this.

MK8D is for upper middle to die-hard MK8 fans only. It has many cool, extra features that obviously make it the superior game to the original. Did I not say that if you haven't bought nor played MK8, then MK8D is without question a game to pick up and try? That indicates that yes, I know MK8D>MK8 by default.

But when I wasn't a fan of MK8 to begin with, what exactly is compelling me to go get this game, when I acquire no additional, enjoyable gaming experiences? And I'm sorry, but it is the same game at the core. If it were a different game, everyone would be calling it MK9.

So because I see it as the same game, in my view, buying MK8D is a rip off if you already own MK8. It's just fact. Nintendo sucked big time with long-term planning for this game. If I own MK8 +dlc, I already have 48/48 tracks, 30+ characters, etc. So for me, I'm paying $60 exclusively for the extra features, and regardless of how much of a needed addition these features are, it isn't worth $60. It's the same scenario as a dlc pack that costs $60. It's dumb, and it just highlights how close-minded Nintendo can be.

But as everyone knows, these additional features could be all that's needed to compel someone to go buy it, and as I said, more power to you if you are one of those people. But me, all I care about is core gameplay (not from battle mode), and MK8 does not deliver there for me, so MK8D won't either. And that's kind of been my message: if your experience with MK8 was just average; a game you played for less than a year, then put it down and never touched it again, MK8D will end the same way. So, why buy the game, besides to complete a collection?

Anyway, I'm just ranting at this point. If I were a rich fuck, I would buy it without thinking too much about it, and I'm sure that's what everyone here is doing anyway. Everyone has their reasons to make their own purchase, and at the end of the day, who should give a fuck about that? So, I hope everyone has fun with MK8D.

LOL. Wow. I just looked at the symbol and not the country   Indeed, that's my stupid mistake.

Chrono Krysster II wrote on 04/24/17 at 21:40:11:


Lol, yeah terrible use of the word fact. That statement I made is a fact only to me for that particular game, which doesn't make it a fact at all. I have/bought Super Mario World on SNES, GBA, and VC myself. So...

Nintendo's gotten lazy with names. So it's a safe bet the next main MK game will be named either MK9 or MK *insert next console name* We're many years away from this though. I predict 4-5 years we'll get a trailer of "MK9"

It certainly wasn't my intention to stir up shit for the sake of it. You coming out to critique me means I did not do a good job explaining my position; by the looks of, I at least now did a decent job. Cheers
