Oh! Finally someone who's with me on this, also the camera is too much near the characters so you don't see anything turning with the moto (the problem isn't there with carts). If Nintendo fixes those things too me and my friends could return to play the game, till then it is taking dust (I only play with local friends). If they fix the bug that you see the alarm for objects aimed for the player behind you and you don't see or hear the alarm for object direct to you then it would be perfect!I don't know WTF they were thinking when they decided no one needed a map. Next they need to make split screen be horizontal instead of vertical. I feel like whoever designed the game doesn't actually drive because you can't even see where you're turning
Hope the TV map has a toggle. I don't want it cluttering up the screen. In my view, they got the balance perfect
I wonder if the stat tracking will include all of our pre-patch races and coins as well.
Nintendo is patching... a game?
I'm actually surprised at the amount of people wanting an item rebalance. I've put in considerable time and have not had issues with it. Sure, it's sometimes annoying when all I get is coins, but that's the luck of the draw.
I've never had it where the person in first has zoomed off because he has a banana protecting him. Never.
Thankfully, I do not believe Nintendo will ever put out a patch to rebalance things. They spend ages working out the balance for things like this. They're not just going to scrap it.
And they've actually listened to what people have been asking for.Nintendo is patching... a game?
I'm in the same boat.I've been looking a reason to jump back in

I like this new Nintendo.
So with that map change Do you think they are preparing for a WiiU without the gamepad?

add map display on the TV screen
Records screen w/ total coins, online win-loss record, character selection rates, etc. being added. Improved online stability.
Default menu selection following GP changing to next race. Last used kart customization added to save. Edit others' highlights.
I dont see how being able too buy a WiiU without the gamepad is crazy. Very few games use it good and the way they could lower the price would mean alot of ppl would get intrested in the WiiU.These posts just keep getting crazier and crazier

Cant believe Nintendo is patching something.
...Or it could just be that they decided to address some common complaints with this patch and that the lack of a minimap on the TV was one of them.So with that map change Do you think they are preparing for a WiiU without the gamepad?
I uhhhh don't wanna see my online WL ratio
Stats could make me play the game for years, if it tracks my records against my Wii U friends.
glad Nintendo is willing to use patches these days

Boo being left out of mario kart 8 really is baffling. We need more heavy weights!Having just bought a Wii U and Mario Kart I have one question.
WHERE IS KING BOO? Have a track dedicated to him, yet no character?
BOO...
Whoever gets out ahead to first place stands the best chance of actually keeping first place thanks largely in part to the way the items work. If you're in first and can avoid whatever 2nd place uses early in the race, the rest of the race, outside of blue shells, turns into a cluster with 1st place cruising to an easy victory (barring poor driving skills and epic failure). I'm not saying there's a way to fix it, but i would argue that 50% of the races play out that way. So I don't think it makes sense to downplay the impacts that items have in the game. Yeah, it's a racing game, but outside of items or watching the person ahead screw up, there is no real way to catch a person through "racing" when in second place. So the whole racing element in mario kart 8 can be a bit of a misnomer.Yeah, me too. So many complains about being second and not able to fuck up the one in the first place. It's still a racing game, not a pew-pew, the best racer on the track should still be able to defend his/her well deserved place. I'm more losing than winning races, but I don't blame it on items balancing.
Between 27th August and 23rd September, Nintendo and Mercedes-Benz will also host an online worldwide Mercedes Cup tournament. All competitors need is a Wii U console, Mario Kart 8, a broadband Internet connection and the Mercedes-Benz karts. Access to the Mercedes Cup in the game can be found in the online tournament section.
I hope this is optional, I like my screen clean of HUD to see the whole Mona Lisa in motion.
To add to the game, too, not just to attempt to fix broken things like others do
Can you win one of the cars found in the patch? That would be nice
