I do not care for the new mario kart

Its shovelware

>hardly any turns
>items up your ass
>20 fucking people at a time
absolute slop

>>712418449 (OP)
Let me guess, couldn't get a switch 2?

>>712418449 (OP)
why not?

what, you don't like driving on straight lines for 2 minutes at a time where only items matter for shuffling around placements because there's no way to overtake someone by playing well?

>>712418647
I got one but I didnt purchase the game, not even worth $50 in the bundle, piece of shit of a game.
I only got the Switch 2 to play my Switch 1 games better.
Also I have the oldest Switch so I wanted an upgrade

>>712418449 (OP)
I'm just not very excited about nu-Nintendo output. Didn't even finish TotK.

>>712418647
Nta, i'm waiting for thr superior kart racing game.

>>712419162
really loved totk, but it was kind of in spite of itself a lot of times, like how I had to intentionally restrain myself just to not overpower every "puzzle" with the same broken solutions. also somehow every single one of the 140 (or was it 160?) shrines felt like a tutorial and then when you think next the game will make you really utilise what you learned, the shrine is just over

Tendies be like: yo, this race track design is freaking :fire emoji: :fire emoji: :fire emoji:!

>buy game
>complete all the cups in 4 hours
>spend 1 hour online but then quit because this kind of game isnt made for online play plus shitty Nintendo netcode
>game sits on shelf collecting dust until some day someone comes over for splitscreen
can someone remind me why this is worth 80$ now?

>>712419715
or $100 in europe

>everyone online is either cracked or completely retarded
>the latter gets handed items constantly to keep you from contending with the former

>>712419715
The net code in this game is totally fine. I have barely had any issues in like 10 hours of playing online

>>712419931
>complaining about a partygame acting like a partygame when you want serious racing

It's Mario Kart 8 DLC.

>>712420056
That's not fun party game design either though

>>712419162
I didn't finish it either. They seem to have gone full lowest common denominator slop simply relying now on the power of the brands they have. That will give them maybe a decade of good sales as fandoms are slow to turn, but they will turn eventually.

>>712419162
Tears of the kingdom is garbage. They took all the most boring parts of Breath of the Wild and made it the entire game.

>>712418557
Doesn't even feel like a nintendo game. More like a fan game or something or a chinese knock off

>>712420056
Mario kart 8 deluxe had the perfect skill to luck ratio. The best party games reward skill.

>>712418449 (OP)
doesn't even have proper tracks.
half the race is spent on some garbage generic road that isn't part of the track you wanted to play and there isn't a real lap system.

>>712420294
I liked BotW but I didn't feel like playing it again except randomized. The feeling of adventure was no longer there.

>>712419162
I forced myself to finish TotK because I dropped BotW after getting bored. I don't like how Nintendo jumped on the open world bandwagon.

that'll be $80 + tip

>>712420980
looks like the BOTW map

~600 dollar mario kart or
~90 dollar sonic fortnite kart
hm...

>>712420980
$80 + tip + online subscription + amiibo + expansion pass just to race on a highway with Wii textures and a Rosalina reskin. Peak gaming.

>Chadow shoving Redditbob out the way
How did /v/ get early access?

>>712418449 (OP)
But you care enough to make a thread about it

>>712420980
>Ten fucking hours just to go through all the intermissions once
Pretty gud

>>712418678
It insists upon itself

>>712421785
10 hours of driving through empty roads

The open world looks like an empty disney attraction park.
You'd think you'd have the time of your life at disney if there was no long queues, you could ride anything you wanted at anytime, but when it's empty like that it makes you remember you're an adult and those things are ultimately not fun to you.
That's also why the open world feels shallow, it's not a world, it's an attraction park.

>>712422002
Lot of 30 year old men having an epiphany that they're playing a game for toddlers

>>712421953
Kosuke Yabuki, Shintaro Jikumaru, Kenta Sato, Masaaki Ishikawa!

Fine fine developers, didn't like the game

>>712422154
I recently played old games I didn't get to experience as a kid and they were great.
Clearly, even games for toddler back then were better than the games for the "massive modern global audience" of today.

>>712422290
Totally agree with you man. Older nintendo games felt like they were for everyone. Newer nintendo games feel like they're just for babies.

>>712422340
There's also this weird disparity because the switch 2 looks like it's designed for teenagers as well as being pretty fragile, while the games are made for babies

>>712418449 (OP)
It's about the same as every other Mario Kart. Which is to say random item spamfest. I don't know why I expected something different.

>>712422425
It's all about the skill to luck ratio. Mario kart wii and mario kart 8 deluxe had it perfect and they COMPLETELY fucked it up in this one.

The game should've been made by bandai namco like 8 deluxe was instead of by a new team internally at nintendo who clearly don't know what they're doing

>>712420438
true

>>712419291
TOTK relies quite a lot on the player not abusing some puzzles. Hoverbike is a game killer
