No first for you!
Pokken tournament comfirmed by game freak!!!! Just saw the teaser trailer, and it was sick!!! It had machamp, fighting lucario
Yeah, we’re on it. It’s only confirmed as arcade so far. Cheers. :)
Nice!! AndYeah, when I found that part out, I was sad :( not announcing it for Wii U is fail.
Wait. Its arcade? Are you kidding me? X( Even Nintendo is destroying the Wii U themselves. WTF
We veterans need to do an epic facepalm for High Command to see it…
I’m losing faith again over here. They’re clearly ignoring their own fucking console like Sony with Vita.
No they aren’t, what bothers me is that any announcement made for the Wii U always comes last…
I swear, the more BS news I hear about anyone neglecting Wii U for some reason, the more I wanna move to PS4 as a standalone console. I’m sick of this shit.
Looking forward to this update. I’d like to know how many coins I have to go to unlock the last parachute.
Glad this is early in the morning update for me. My daughter would freak I’d she couldn’t play this game while they updated or with the new stuff. LOL.
Wonder if they could get more characters or lose some of the lesser used ones…
Damn phone, I’d is IF.
I hope nintendo will be ready (hence the maintenance) for the massive load their servers will received. This update is highly anticipated and millions will rush to get it as soon as possible. I hope this update will bring something more to the game, and this type of update will increase the replay value. Maybe this update is include in the 1 year mario kart campaign stated by Nintendo back in March.
Anything to liven up the online community again. I kept being placed into the same room with this guy who wasn’t on my friends list. This happened ALL DAY LONG.
For USA PDT it should be Tues. August 26th right?
Correct! I’m a day behind. XD
I love Nintendo. I hate their Mc Donalds and Mercedes Benz Promos.
maybe i’ll finally be able to get racing online instead of getting constant error codes… :/
I kind of totally forgot about this! This is sweet! Can wake up to free kart DLC inbound along with general improvements ^_^. This is a good direction Nintendo, hopefully they’ll continue to support MK8 like this on a more regular basis to keep the game fresh.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I’ll get the DLC downloaded later.
