I wish people would stop teasing me about that, it's not something that makes me dislike the game. In fact I've been rather enjoying myself with it until I found out about this glitch.

I got my Wii U on Christmas 2012, so it's an older model. Of course, this still doesn't make me feel any better about this console-bricking bug, so I won't be playing Mario Kart 8 until Nintendo develops a patch for the game.

I'll probably take advantage of the digital promotion while this issue is being dealt with.

I'm taking advantage of the Mario Kart 64 limited time offer for 250 Club Nintendo Coins, and the free game offer. I'll get Wii Party U.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I did some looking into it and found advice saying that if it gets stuck on the victory lap, don't reset, but restart your router. Apparently it's something to do with the system losing connection to wireless while writing data onto the Wii U. I don't use wireless, so I think i'm OK.

I seriously doubt that the date you got it has anything to do with it, they just happened to get it near release.

Yeah, I saw that. Apparently, the real problem starts when you press the Home Button or turn it off.

EDIT: I told my brother that when I say, "It's not working, oh shoot, it's bricked," to restart our router. We work together as a team, and it's totally not because I'm lazy.

Apparently, MK8 has sold very well over the weekend.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I haven't had the game crash at all yet with the 27 hours of playing my physical copy or any issues for that matter, but I should refrain from playing it until the issue is addressed, it could be a problem solely with the NTSC-U version unless there are similar reports with other regional versions.

Maybe I should actually play Wind Waker HD for once.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I heard it's mostly a problem with the online of the game and that the firmware update today should've solved the problem. I haven't bothered touching the online yet, and don't plan to any time soon. My warranty for my Wii U is still good, though, since it died on me once when I was playing Pikmin 3 of all games and I had to send it in for repairs. Thankfully, it was back in less than a week thanks to living relatively close to where they send it for repairs. I guess I could replay Pikmin 3 (or finish Sonic Lost World) just to be safe, though....

Also, back on MK8....

That feel when you get the Super Horn during the beginning of the first lap.

>mfw i get 3 super horns during one race
