This is confusing me

Surely you can play 4 player local??


You can play 4 player local.

But if you're using switches on a LAN (so like download play on a 3DS) you can't use more than 2 joycons per switch.

Managed or unmanaged? ;)

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

I think I'm going to cancel my Amazon pre-order and buy it through the eshop. I'd much rather have my switch games digitally. What time do new games usually hit the eshop?

I was thinking of getting it digitally too, but at £50 they can strawberry float off.

The Wii U and 3DS eShops are updated at 14:00 (UK) every Thursday, Winckle... but for "big" game releases the titles become available at 00:01 (UK) on the day of release.

So, if the Switch release process matches that of the Wii U and 3DS systems, it should be available at 00:01 on Friday morning.

If you don't care which region you buy from, PC Game Supply have a 10% sale on eShop credit, so you can get $60 credit for £42.08 today.

£2.08 more than my Amazon order but worth it.

Alternatively Smyths are going to be doing MK8 eShop vouchers for £44.99 in store.

Making my Mii was strange, I had to change it up a bit for the first time ever.

I genuinely don't get how you guys, who had on it on Wii U, can be so exited to play it again. It makes no sense to me.

Mario Kart 8 is my favourite Mario Kart.

This adds the Boo (my favourite item) and the Battle Modes I've wanted for ages.

+ double items.

EDIT: You can change your car up in lobby now!

Having the best Mario Kart game ever now playable on a handheld is pretty huge for me.

Always find it bizarre the amount of criticism this release is getting as if it's the first time something like this has ever happened.

Fresh meat + battle mode + playing it on the go = purchase

It'll be worth it for three years of Mario Kart Mondays Wednesdays alone.

You don't count, it could be the exact game as is and you would be saying it was the best thing since sliced bread.

60fps 1080p docked is another good reason
