I know, right? That's almost as bad as coming into the Wii U thread and telling people not to buy a game on Wii U because they can get it at a discount on PC.
Anyways here's an interesting Mario Kart 8 development. The eShop page lists "Game Chat" as one of the online features. Whether this means text-based chat or actual voice chat over the internet remains to be seen, but either way it's pretty nifty.
I really enjoyed playing MK7 online with y'all, but only being able to talk about the race afterwards was a bit annoying. This feature should make that better.
Also because I decided scroll down on the eShop page because why not, if you're planning on downloading MK8 it'll take about 4.83GB, so yeah.
