  1. Gold Mario Gold Kart Gold Tires Gold Glider 3* Rank ALL CUPS My fingers need a break now.... but damn rolling in all gold is a sick look. I kind of wish they would have also offered a Gold ATV and Bike to make the complete set in that regard.
  2. Some news about how singe JC play works
  3. I heard Andre from Gamexplain say they were tough as nails to get by..... I might give a few a shot, but without getting any reward, I have no reason to make my fingers and hand suffer.
  4. The did do some stat adjustments...
  5. Try as I might, and actually the tutorial in-game for PP is pretty good, I can't think fast enough to set up the combos like you are supposed to for PPT. I did get the game mainly for Tetris though...
  6. A reply of no at 6am +/- is a little late don't ya think.... its not Smash Sunday Mornings LOL.
  7. ALL GOLD and one Cup left for 3* Rank on everything.
  8. I am in agreement that the 2nd one was better than the first. That said, I really did want to rewatch the first one before I saw the new one....but couldn't find it on Netflix or Crackle so I didn't watch it. For whatever reason, I have found it harder to get into the GotG than the other Marvel CMU entries. I do think this sequel though, rationalized out some of the stuff that bugged me from the first one. In all seriousness though, what happened to the Adult Groot from the first movie to where he is Baby Groot now? I don't recall.
  9. Damn.... Babbages..... hadn't heard that one in a LONG time. I hadn't heard much about tournies actually at a GS though. I think the last time I even heard of one is when they did a Midnight Release tourney for Brawl... but then all the GC controller/Mele Purists ruined the vibe by complaining that GS was limiting controllers to just the Wii's own Wiimote and chuck.
  10. I know what you mean, I got by 200cc by the skin of my teeth but now that I have Larry/P Wing/AC tires/ Hyrule Glider.... my performance has dramatically increased.
  11. The only thing I dislike about being good at TTs is it doesn't necessarily reflect in the game, when racing competition, how fast you can go... items, getting hit, not having an item to do a short cut... don't get me wrong though ,learning the tracks and their nuances is a good idea.
  12. ?? Amiibo Rune, drop chest, open chest...
  13. Not that I am aware of. Just Gold Tires for beating all 150cc TTs.
  14. I was never one to get into that Mission Mode... it felt to contrived to me.... I don't even think I finished it due to lack of interest. I would also add that 3 quick and easy things could have been done for this game though: 1) MORE Amiibo Mii Racer Suits, especially considering all the figures now out on the market versus when the game first came out. *TOPS were : Captain Falcon, Bowser, Pac Man. HM: Mega Man, Star Fox, and Samus 2) No 200cc Mirror? 3) Why no alt colors for Koopa? ************** Other curious topics for discussion: DLC for this game? Does Switch get a ground up MK9?
  15. Excellent entry even if it is a port of the WiiU original.
  16. Sadly, its not, but I am with you on the sentiment though, the Gold Kart from MKDD was EPIC... all the racers could use it and it was a touch above the rest of the selections once you got it. In a weird way though, when I went back to MKDD, I could no longer do well with it and had to find other karts I liked better.... My main was Waluigi/Koopa on the Walugi Dune Buggy.... ************** ************** As for the game itself, Mario Kart 8 DLX IS the definitive version of MK8. If you think about it, though, if you are a Switch owner and never owned MK8 on the WiiU, you are getting for $60 what amounts to a $80 game when you add MK8 + DLC + DLX exclusive content. IMO, that is a no brainer for anyone that loves the franchise. You get the largest character roster ever in the game, you get the most amount of tracks ever included on a console game (one could argue MKSC had the most tracks though, as it had its own full roster plus the complete SNES line up as well), and the largest vehicle and vehicle parts selection of any of the games in the series. The NEW battle arenas and that new mode of Renegade Roundup are great. This game is truly a fully featured entry in the series. Probably one of the few MK games that had NO bad tracks to race on(personal opinions of Baby Park/MKDD aside). Also, when you think about it, you are also able to take a FULL console version game on the go and have it look great! The ONLY thing that taints this game is the fact that Nintendo did a port of a excellent WiiU game only to add what was SEVERELY lacking from the original version, A PROPER BATTLE MODE. And in that regard, whomever at Nintendo thought a battle mode around the race tracks, that were in no way set up for battles, should have been fired. And with a nasty aftertaste of not offering WiiU owners the extra content as their own DLC pack in case they didn't have a Switch.
  17. My fingers are throbbing from finishing off those TTS* * I had to revisit my old TTS and like I said figure out what their combo was, what I did in the prior game, and what I could improve on with my skills now. *Big Blue took me the most tries to finish $848 away from Gold Glider....
  18. Man, I tell you what I ended up doing for the final TTs (sans Big Blue) .... I went back into my MK8 TT files to see what I used and where I used boosts to beat those ghosts... now I should all but big blue left for Gold Tires.
  19. Strictly racing speaking... work on the timing of your b break button presses.... there is a slight delay so you can plan your break to allow you to still take sharp turns. *********** *********** 4 TTs left.... for Gold Tires $1070 for Gold Glider
  20. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/05/video_the_snes_playstation_prototype_is_now_in_full_working_order_thanks_to_ben_heck Pretty cool... I couldn't find the thread where he did the two stages of repairs on it to get it up and running w/o the cd working....
