Do not reply or respond to shitposters.
Regularly announce the number of players in a lobby.
Keep up the banter during races.
Namedropping is discouraged but posting along the lines of "Haha John Smith that green was beautiful" is not only fine; you should do it more!
Keep on posting screenshots in the thread!

>Today's protip
We're gaining steam! Keep powering on! Call out 1/12 often

After a few weeks someone should make an updated list of pic related. It's always nice having some new regulars.

There aren't online profiles for Switch users like there is for Wii U users

hi

Nintendo just posted this on their official Twitter. I guess they're doing a quick synopsis on each character.

One thing seems off to me, though.
>First Appearance: Super Mario Kart
Are they implying that the Mario Kart Mario and the mainline game Mario are two different Marios, and that the first time the Mario Kart Mario appeared was in Super Mario Kart? Is that why there are so many different Marios in Mario Kart?

Hey

any wii u players here want to race? besides boneyT

I take that to mean: First appearance in the topic under the lens: Mario Kart.
Like how Inkling Girls first appearance will be "MK8" and not "Splatoon"

Boney and Spooky are cute teehee

>there are different generations of mario
>each mainline game is a different mario
>the mario games have an even deeper timeline than zelda's

DEEPEST
LORE

It's so satisfying to see this fucker get crushed. I hate this kid.

Who was that again? I forget. I'd like to say all according to keikaku but I didn't even mean for that Thwomp thing to happen

But there are Miis and names which is all that matters.

ded

Gonna take a quick nap. I'll join 3.0 when I wake up

any wiiu players?

alright. make a post when you're ready

booOooo

Fire emblem in mario kart anyone?

first things first.

This, remove all baby,metal mario, Pink Gold Peach

Maybe if Super Kart Bros ever gets made

>Regular kart
>Not a warp star

dropped

BoneyT

fair enough, though i thought the last one was better quality.

BoneyT

I'd love to ride the Warp Star as Dry Bowz. How the fuck would wheels work on it though? Or would it just be a warp star themed cart?

BoneyT

Is this guy the owner of /mk8g/ or something?

OP here and definitely not.

>there is no way to get Peach on a super cute hot pink sports bike in this game

What the fuck were they thinking?

BRAAAAP

I'm feeling pretty depressed over Cornell, anyone playing a game?

What are you, a faggot?

I'm ded

Anyone up for some 200cc on deluxe?

1/12 Wii U 200cc

>playing online
>not beating staff ghosts

>view top ghost
>it's ALWAYS that one dry bowser tryhard
What's wrong with Wario? Why is it always fucking Dry Bowser? Wario is way cooler.

...

>actually replying to a obvious bait

Are the ghosts it shows always the top 20 in the world?

If so, I might be 20th on SNES Rainbow Road.

I used to think Villager was best girl, but I have seen the light and now know that it's Toadette.

Obviously it changes depending on who has better times but you and your friends' times are at the bottom of the list if you're not shuffled in the middle, from my understanding. Sorry to bring your day down.

Sad.

Eh, I figured that was the case, anyway.

Brother

3/12 U

>That red shell

Whenever that happened to me it would just never resolve and disappear out of the map.

>ded hours

>ded hours
>4/12
>on a ded console
Like poetry.

Can you even message people on Switch like you could on Wii U?

>it's a wild woods episode
Don't think so

Wii U can actually get lobbies going because Wii U players actually post status updates in the thread. Switch players just join the lobby and never post any updates so lobbies stay at 2/12 for hours.

As it stands, no. I hope that comes with the app. I also hope they get rid of friend codes by then and allow you to add people right in the game or search them in the app.

I thought they'd learn by now. I sincerely hope they have.

All right, I need to get some sleep. Good games.

Night

One of the things I don't like about the Switch. It's too minimalistic. They took all the things that was alright with the Wii U (the messaging, community, etc) and just omitted it entirely. It might be added to that phone app later, but going on my phone and signing in and all that junk is just repetitive. There's nothing you can do that has anything to do with the community other than see what your friends are playing and being able to post your screenshots on Twitter. Don't fix it if it isn't broken.

Strange sounds like they just went backwards with the online on Switch, and now they want people to pay for it. They had made so many leaps when it comes to online on the Wii U (being able to send friend requests via IDs, being able to message people,miiverse) and it just sounds like they threw all that out the window.

I can see why they removed Miiverse, though. They'd prefer people to post stuff about their games on Twitter instead of their own echo chamber so people without a Switch can see them. Bit of free advertising.

i'll buy a switch once they add netflix to it

>sounds like they just went backwards with the online on Switch, and now they want people to pay for it
Kek, what do you that nk with happen with this "bad netcode" and "minimalism" once paid online is upon us?

one last race then I'm going to bed

ggs twk

Nothing will change.

Alright. Good games and good night

Boo

kill

I'm waiting in a 200cc switch lobby if anyone wants to play

everyone is ded

I've been waiting 10 minutes and still no one ;_; it sucks being Australian

Good job keeping the thread alive while I was sleeping.

/v/kend will be later, so hopefully the practice I've had this week will shine through.

Good night
No Boo

Last bump

Rise

...

I just want to die

Kill me

So where's Tim?

Hopefully in the garbage bin

I dunno, maybe he didn't see a reason to buy a game he had already played for like 3000 hours on Wii U. Most people who played here on Wii U probably feel that way.

One of the main reasons why we're not gonna see a lot of the old regulars return, I reckon.

The other reason being that a Switch isn't worth having yet to a lot of people.
