What went wrong?

They made it too difficult to simply play 4-player local in standard 3-lap races.

Pauline only has one extra outfit, she needs more.

it's too shallow to carry a system launch not to mention overpriced for what it is

Literally the best launch in gaming history lol

Also Mario Kart World is fantastic

How is it difficult? You go to VS mode and you select whichever courses you want with however many players you want with the exact same mechanics as a premade grand prix.
Also, why in the fuck is everyone so fixated on playing the same lap three times when the game has so many track configurations where you do three different things instead? I legitimately do not understand.

Personally I wish there were more options to play knockout tours in custom configurations and I wish the open world had more to do (or at least kept track of what you had done more directly). The sticker icons are too tiny, so it doesn't feel exciting to get a new one. I don't even know what I would have wanted as unlockables (maybe gate the costumes/characters more?) but a checklist of missions would have been nice.

Non-Switch 2 owners are pretty jealous huh?

How? The N64 had Mario 64 which people still play and mod to this day

Anon I love Mario Kart World, but come on lol. There's 1 game for this fucking thing.

mk8 wii u will always be putrid dogshit no matter how many of these threads you make.

If they mean best like "units sold" instead of "whether Anon (who hates everything) personally likes it" then yeah they are right.

I don't know since I can't get a Snitch 2

tried to appeal to casuals and veterans at the same time and as a result appealed to no one who would still be there a week later
luckily the switch 2 has many other great unique launch titles such as

the effort put into making the open world was not worth it when playing normal 3 laps is way more fun. they could have still done knock out tour by just ripping off what sonic crossworlds does by having people warp on the 3rd lap and it would probably be better for it. the game would also probably look better since they dont need to worry about day night cycle shit. they also would have had time to make more actual courses too. so ya open world was a mistake. grinding and wall riding is good, not sure if they made straight driving too good though, but that wouldnt be as much of an issue if there was more actual courses instead of intermissions

why is doing the same lap three times better than doing three different laps?

I like seeing opponents hit my banana peels a lap later.

>>712923595
ugly whore

>still no option to create a pre-lobby with your friends before joining a public lobby
>if you want to play knockout tour with friends your only option is to create a private lobby, you can't join a friend on a public lobby even if there's room
No mention of any of this in all the raving reviews
The amount of slack Nintendo gets for their barebones online that they refuse to improve on despite asking money for it is fucking unbelieavable

MK8 is fine, but Deluxe is just objectively superior. Xenoblade Chronicles X was the best Wii U game.

The same lap is a well designed course tailor made for racing on while the different laps has one well designed course at the end and two straight lines. The game being designed around the three different laps has also negatively affected some of the real courses and there are two tracks that are basically just circles.

Literally nobody ever played Mario Kart and thought "now that the race is over, I wish I had to get on the highway and drive to the next race instead of just appearing there"

>>712923057 (OP)
us sonybros didn't do enough anti-shilling so the game became a massive success

>>712925164
the intermission courses are pretty much straight lines with very few things you can do to go faster, so doing 3 laps with actual designs is way better and cant be that bad since its been the norm since forever. If the intermissions were actually well designed then it would be a different story but they're not

>>712927609
even worse
>drive to the next race
>do one lap
koopa troopa beach is probably the most egregious driving over water in a straight line over water for 5 minutes just to do a 20 second circle at the end

>>712927091
I did not like the double items in deluxe and I dont like that its back in world

Even the people who brought this thing are admitting it had problems.

Funny thing is if they wanted players to be free to drive around between waiting for tracks to be voted for they could have just had a hub world as a separate level like Diddy Kong racing. They already did something like that with Splatoon 3. And they could have managed that switch 1 hardware and released it years ago.
