I wonder what the trade-in value for the N3DSXL is. I wouldn't be terribly opposed to swapping mine for that, if the price was right

The White/Orange one is pretty sweet too
The hinge is pretty horrible though. |

It's what the Japs call the XL models. It means 'Large large' which is what they call 'extra large'

Seems Amazon wasn't expecting the large amount of pre-orders that came in for the game and are currently having inventory problems.
Some people got their orders delayed till early May from Amazon. http://www.polygon.com/2017/4/28/154...-amazon-delays |

Did not know Amazon gave a 20% discount if you are order a game. Seems like a big discount to give out.

Oh yeah battle mode is the way to go. I'm a fan of coin runner too.
SW-4130-7240-3264 is my friend code... should probably put that in the main thread in the VG forum here somewhere |

I like best buy gamers club..its 20% off all games all the time even on sale. Its 30 for 2 years but it pays for itself after you buy 2.5 new games ($60 game = $12 discount)

MK8 Deluxe is the fastest selling Mario Kart in history in the US. Considering Mario Kart Wii is the 3rd best selling game of all time, that's pretty damn good.
459,000 copies in one day. |

Nice. Everything so far has been pretty positive for the Switch, minus supply issues which I guess is a somewhat good problem to have in the overall scheme of things.
Been working on unlocking all the kart parts still, while slowly chipping away at the golden stuff. I've beaten about 4 staff ghosts so far, a long way to go yet... |

Also, even though you did say it, it's nice to point out that the 459k is just US/NA numbers.
For curiousity sake I looked up "fastest-selling" numbers/stats....... still crazy that GTA V sold 12 million its first day. Ridiculous |

According to the Wall Street Journal, main reason Nintendo was able to sell more consoles than they were expecting was due to them eating a lot of money on using two shipping methods.
Bulk of the Switches were done with regular sea shipping while smaller batches arrived by plane which cost them around $45 per console. Gave Nintendo the ability to rush more consoles out of China by plane when they were done rather than having to wait till they could fill the numbers needed for a sea shipment. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/to.../1100-6449691/ |

MK = Mortal Kombat
GoW = Gears of War Probably just because gears hasbeen around more, the past 10 years. Never heard anyone refer to mario kart as mk tho. That was always mortal kombat. |

I made the same mistake, and thought "When did Nintendo approve a Mortal Kombat game?"
GoW for me is automatcally God of War, because anyone I know referring to Gears of War usually just says "Gears" followed by whatever number. |

In 3 years the current gen leader ps4 has sold 54mil. This console will very likely be no.2 best seller of this console cycle and could very possibly out pace the ps4 as well. |

They've sold more than any Nintendo console in the same time period and close to the PS4 launch numbers, so try again?

Anyone else play much of MK8D so far? I've gotten the gold kart for beating all of 150cc and mirror. Working on beating the Time Trial staff ghosts, and they all seem fairly easier than I remember the ghosts ever being. I'm thinking they're intentionally tuned to be easy to beat and not meant to be a super tough measure of skill etc. Like if you compare the staff ghost to the online racer times, the racers online have like 10+ second leads on the staff time...
One thing I do like about the staff ghosts is they do tend to show you a lot of the shortcuts in the maps, which I'm also starting to think might be intentional. They typically start off with the first lap getting to 10 coins then in laps 2/3 they use one or two shortcuts in the map. If you follow along with them you can learn their route then easily beat them, but learning where those shortcuts are is kind of neat. I've done about 1/3 of the courses now against the staff ghosts, will probably finish them tonight and unlock Gold Mario I guess |

Gold Mario is unlocked by coming first on all the 200cc cups rather than time trials. That is pretty hard in places, the only challenge really.

Oops, yeah, the TT thing is for another one of the gold kart pieces... wheels or glider, I forget which (the other is getting 10k coins)
