I am here for superimposing AD quotes onto our own MK screenshots.

regmcfly

there are plenty of banana-based options.

The Daddy

Count me in for day 1. Friday night karting anyone?

cindemon

All over this. A dedicated battle mode was enough for a double dip.

Syph79

I'm in from the off too.

Bob

Er I said Day one earlier today reg. thanks for nothing

mistercrayon

For the time trials might i suggest B+B comedy (or serious or themed) set ups?

I was thinking that with a lot of these time trial type competitions after about three turns it's apparent who the best is and they just follow the top guy and do it better than everyone else. While: mixing it up might sustain interest a bit longer perhaps?

The set ups and track could be chosen by different people weekly.

Paul the sparky

I'll be getting this. Fuck a time trial though.

afgavinstan

Sparky knows.

stonechalice

I'm day one but i haven't even looked at my friend code thing yet.

Nina

I can get a 20% discount with Prime, wondering if I should buy this one already as well, it can sit next to Zelda and I'll just pretend I actually have a switch. (There's rumours Target is gonna restock this Sunday, not sure if I wanna be there before 8am).

Am up for MP and TT as soon as I'll be able to join.

Andy

I'll be on this.

The Daddy

I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo were holding a load of stock to push out next week to coincide with this release, so maybe you'll be able to get one.
