BREAKING: The newest update of Mario Kart World has changed random to include intermissions. I repeat, RANDOM ISN'T SAFE ANYMORE. They killed the game.

I thought the whole point of MKW's design was you'd race a circuit for a couple laps, "Intermission" to another circuit, and continue on. Instead it's just a series of mostly straight routes for 8 minutes......

>>713680301 (OP)
>YOULL RACE ONE LAP AND LIKE IT GODDAMNIT!!!!
Nintendo are so fucking stupid

it's a game for children

>>713680834
>wow, they just put changed the recipes at my favourite ice cream shop and now it tastes horrible
>BUT ICE CREAM IS FOR CHILDREN XD

>>713681125
yes
that's the same concept
glad to see you have grasp on it

Every day, Nintendo prays for a loophole that would allow them to ban the sale of their products to anyone over the age of 18 and/or foreigners.

>>713681125
>it tastes horrible
For you.

99% of people won’t care except the 1% autists.

>>713680301 (OP)
Based! You will play the game as intended!

>>713681125
>it tastes horrible
For you.

99% of people won’t care.

>>713681603
If they didnt care
They wouldnt all pick random

breaking: tendie shit goes to >>>/trash/

>>713680301 (OP)
Oh my fucking god hahahahaha how is this the message they took from people always picking random
They fucking despise their players holy shit

>>713680301 (OP)
I never used online, what's the issue?

>>713681869
Good thing they don't.
Your shitcord tranny pics aren't reality.
Nevermind its on YOU to prove everyone voting random is only doing it for 3laps, rather than not liking course selection on offer. kamek summon hunting, trying to fish their preferred track, etc.

>>713682663
nobody likes the stupid intermission tracks where you race on a straight line highway for 2 minutes and then do 1 lap of the course you actually wanted to play
people picked random because this was the only consistent way to get normal 3-lap courses
nintendo spitefully added the stupid intermissions to random so you can't avoid them anymore

>>713682937
Wow that sucks

>>713682773
Go watch any Mario Kart content creator's videos on youtube. 75% of all lobbies are voting random. Be careful. Another low quality reply will be treated as an immediate concession.

Everybody will play lounge lmao

>>713680301 (OP)
genuinely what the fuck is nintendo's problem, this is one of the pettiest and most unhinged things ive ever seen by a triple A studio

>>713683171
>youtube video
Highly edited vs a stream or the average player's session. Even in my vr (8.7) people opt for whatever tracks they like regardless of it being connected or not. I literally only care if the track is good or not.

>>713683280
They would have to acknowledge that it's a shit mechanic otherwise, which they can't do because they made it a big selling point.
it's embarassing

>>713683235
You retards couldn't even get a /v/ room going when the update dropped, all those retards joining will get BTFO and come crawling back to WWs when they realize how unfun toadette blooper lobbies are.

>>713683421
>video evidence
>NOOO DUDE THAT'S EDITED
>but dude when I play everyone just picks non-random tracks with connections trust me! I don't need to provide evidence
Do you get paid for this?

People are really shocked that nintendo did their weird "YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME THE WAY WE WANT YOU TO!" thing again.

>>713683440
they could save their dignity by just letting people choose random and pretending it wasn't a problem
or add a separate classic mode, because knockout mode is already very popular

>>713683503
you say that like WWs aren't already primarily toadette blooper too

>>713683571
what's another example of them doing this? i rarely play nintendo games so it's my first time being assraped by then

>>713683571
This
Nintendo are objectively apple tier now. The LA shitmake straight up disabling the dpad for no reason and M&L brothership not letting you use the same style of controls that were in the previous 5 FUCKING GAMES was absolute insane. NuShitendo is simply way too fucking proud, anyone thinking that those faggots would unironically try to fix Mario Kart World is simply a retard

>>713683421
nta but 50-75% of people in my experience pick random, these are completely random race lobbies

>>713683635
Surprisingly no, not nearly as bad as MK8 was near the end with the npc combos.

>>713683648
Splatoon series has restriction online by design. 1 to 2 to 3. They have never changed it but double down on it. People sort of stopped complaining now. It’s funny because people were so against it but Fortnite is now full of bots because of splitting the player base with too many modes. That’s the result.

Lobbies are almost entirely Baby Bloopers already. The biggest variance is you see a few different characters and 1 or 2 mach bikes/rob bikes

>>713680834
>Nintendo
>for children
>in 2025
Nintendo wishes that was the case and desperately keeps forcing people to latch onto this delusional ideology, when everyone and their mother knows that their main target demographic these days is Disney adults

>>713683648
>what's another example of them doing this?
Tripping in Brawl do disincentivize wavedashing.

>>713683540
Every youtube edits their videos though. Nobody's just dumping their raw footage. You're really bad at this

ww's without the flags doesnt feel like ww's.

>>713683931
It's still video footage showing lobbies picking random as opposed to your completely unsubstantiated claim. You are so stupid you loop around to being confident because you're completely oblivious to how dumb you actually are.

Manchildren seethe about Mario Kart

Subhumans defend their corporation

Yep, Mario Kart World is dead for good now.
I expect all YTbers to disappear except Jap slurpers.

>>713684116
>unedited streams are dishonest unlike my edited videos
You're hopeless

>>713684375
Yeah, it pretty much is until they actually deliver on traditional 3-lap races in a free update.
Maybe there well still be some knockout tour people left, but not enough to carry the game. Another IP falls victim to the open-world meme.

>>713684006
Identifying with a nation is problematic chud. You have zero connection to your nation, tribe or family, you are a globohomo ally chud.

>>713684179
diaper fetishist shits his diaper over manchildren seething about mario kart

lmao, the game was already terrible (24 players is a giant mess, item dependent more than ever, only the last lap matters, 0 new feature, terrible graphics) but they managed to force the worse feature down the throat of everybody.

>does nothing about the fucking retarded kamek rng characters
>but they will happily change the random rates for more highway item spam tracks despite there being a whole fucking mode dedicated to those intermission tracks

>>713682057
>Oh my fucking god hahahahaha how is this the message they took from people always picking random
Didn't know japs had such a giant ego to pull this kind of shit. Holy fuck.

>>713680301 (OP)
Does he really need to make 4 different posts with one word in each for the same subject? I didn't want to say this but I really think it's time we dropped a nuke in the world now

Can anyone please explain how intermission tracks are... le bad? They're basically the Wuhu tracks from MK7 but better, and everyone loved those.

>>713684853
Straight lines where nothing happens.

>>713684853
because they're boring, that's it

Mario Kart World will be the Monster Hunter Wilds of Nintendo.
Everyone will drop the game super quick despite muh 5-10 millions sales.

>>713684786
You should see what a jap does when someone outshines them in their own field.
I guarantee Square Enix was not happy at Expedition 33's success.

>>713684853
>Can anyone please explain how intermission tracks are... le bad? They're basically the Wuhu tracks from MK7 but better, and everyone loved those.
They are an even playing field that test actual skill and don't have a bunch of tricks that autistis who've memorized every detail and secret of every track can exploit to stomp on noobs and casuals.
It's like final destination in smash.

>>713685142
the frustrating difference here is that wilds is inherently very fucked and needs a major overhaul, but mkw just needs a few tweaks in terms of modes and balance

>>713685285
wtf am i reading

>>713685285
>a bunch of tricks that autistis who've memorized every detail and secret of every track can exploit
So skill

>>713685358
>>713685462
you are replying to bait

>>713685285
I bet you also think memorizing a map in an arena shooter is cheating.

>>713685545
>I bet you also think memorizing a map in an arena shooter is cheating.
It's not cheating but you're a bit of a fag if you are scared to play maps you are not familiar with or can't exploit, especially if you are some high-horse "pro-gamer".

>snoys trying to distract from SKG by spamming slop on the catalogue

>>713680301 (OP)
>go to vs race mode
>set to OPEN (not connected)
>click on race track
>chose racetrack
>get 3 laps, no intermission
are /v/tards retarded or liars?
Yes, if you go online and some twat selects an intercourse one youre fucked and thats annoying, no ones arguing against that.
Still most people are being try hard faggots, just go online and do singular races. Its a kids party game, who cares if you have to have an 'unfair' race, why does it matter so much to you?

>>713685902
can you not read? it's an online issue
>who cares if you have to have an 'unfair' race
replace "unfair" with "boring"

>>713685902
If it's a kid party game, remove the ELO system too so matchups are truly random and not skill based.

Right now, all MK youtubers be from Japan or US play it to get gud.

>kills a hardcore racing scene in a single move
This is bullshit, i was going to be a pro.

>Tendie defense force
Nintendo could shit on your plate and you would say it's good.

>>713680301 (OP)
Are those "one lap" courses that bad?

>>713680301 (OP)
Don't play Mariko Kart. What does "intermission" mean. They stop the race midway for something?

Trying to understand here...you can't play with randoms anymore online? Like the online mode is exclusive to friend groups?

>>713687412
from what im seeing they’re all just straight lines with random item boxes here and there

>>713683280
YOU WIRR PRAY GAME AS INTENDED GAIJIN

>>713687412
They are bad since they take 75% of the race while the course you actually go to is only played for 1 lap. They would be fine if they were shorter, so the actual course is still 3 laps.

>>713684853
Wuhu Island has slight turns

>>713687596
No, even I got it
There's a thing called intermission tracks that are a straight line race that are now inserted into every race. Only way to escape it was to pick random. Except Nintendo patched it into random, so now there's no way to just do a 3 lap race.

So why have they doubled the coin cap anyway? Is it more fun now?

>>713680301 (OP)
https://x.com/SuzuharaHomes/status/1938045929166409818
Even Japs aren't pleased with this change.

Did they fix lobbies emptying after every game and having people not being able to join them??

>>713688524
>human scum, user neglect, and so on, I'll list all the insults.
Kek

>>713686959

>>713688524
he didn't even @nintendo
curious...

>>713689356
I wonder if this pic just assumes welfare bucks are enough to buy the kind of gear the guy' shown with.

>>713688524
>baby blooper metatard
japs are fucking soulless

>>713688404
>So why have they doubled the coin cap anyway?
It's less snowbally. Each indivdual coin gives less due to it being doubled to 20, so it's better balance at gaining/losing coins
>Is it more fun now?
I like it, it helped out lightweight characters a lot. The speed buff from coins curves different based on character weight
Lightweight get majority of the coin speed buff from the first couple. While heavy characters get the majority of the coin speed buff from the last couple. Once any weight is at 20, it's the full 5% buff tho so it evens out. It's just the process to getting there helps out lighter weights

>>713685902
>You are try hard. Just play the game as a casual without worrying about winning
No. You might as well play single player if you don't care about winning.

>>713689486
I chose the baby blooper because it's the closest World has to that one mercedes car in 8

>>713685902
But my points!!! Why even play online if you don't get the satisfaction of seeing a number go up?

>>713689486
>Besides that guy
>The two highest rating in this lobby are the coin coffer and baby roselina
>The only few not metafagging
KEK
being soulless doesnt make you good

SPONGEBOB RACING CROSSWORLDS HAS WON

>>713690229
they're still using baby blooper

>>713690346
id let em slide with that desu. they wanna use their favs but still have a fighting chance in this soulless toadette hell

>>713690229
Those characters are good too though

>>713688524
At least get a tweet with some traction

>>713690527
coin is midground but baby roselina is the "worst" lightweight according to the "meta" since water speed is the least used

ITS ALL OVER, RUINED FOREVER

>I REPEAT

I’m literally crying and shaking and shitting my pants bros

>>713692680
this but without a hint of irony

>>713692509
ITS ALL OGRE

>How DARE Nintendo make us drive across the WORLD in Mario Kart WORLD!

>>713693175
Fuck, this guy's hair is a bird. My argument has been invalidated!

>>713683915
they removed wavedashing entirely by getting rid of directional airdodge, tripping was to nerf dashdancing

You will only play intermissions and you will be happy

>>713693175
>muh World
>it's just a straight line

>>713681208
you're a midwit, anon

>>713680834
So was MK8 and every game before it.
What changed for them to make it worse?

>>713680301 (OP)
This isn’t my problem because I didn’t spend $800 on a piece of shit handheld with no games.

>>713685285
>that test actual skill
>on a straight line

>>713693835
It's funny, the straight line just makes the game even more about bagging for good items.

>>713693175
The world part fucking sucks.

>>713683421
I accept your concession.

>>713690834
The fact that characters with mid speed are dominating is always an omen that a racing game is trash. It should be highest speed = best, like say MKWii.

>>713694210
That was only because of stand-still MT which shouldn’t have been a thing

>>713684786
it's nintendo, they've always acted this way
it's why salmon run in splatoon 2 was only available at times
https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/09/06/splatoon-2-designer-explains-why-you-cant-play-salmon-run-all-the-time
>"In Japan, there’s a sense of, 'We’re making this thing for you, and this is how we think this thing is better enjoyed.'
>"'I bought this game. Why can’t I just enjoy this game the way I want?' That’s not how we think here. Yes, you did buy the game. But we made this game. And we’re pretty confident about how this game should be enjoyed. If you stick with us, and if you get past your initial resistance, you’re going to have the time of your life with this game. You’re really going to love it."
>"I’m not allowed to speak on it, because I’m not the game director. What I can say, and what I think can be said, is that there are lots of reasons. You have to trust us that if you could play Salmon Run online anytime, that would result in a worse experience for you and everybody."

>>713694428
I remember coming across this article, probably after Googling why the fuck it's like this, and it permanently lowered my opinion of Nintendo. The article lives rent free in my head. I still bought Switch 1 games after reading it, but this interview is one of the biggest reasons I'm hesitant with anything Nintendo now, and still don't have a Switch 2. It's already happening in MK.
I remember how hard it was one day for me and a friend to actually find time to play this mode, only to get cockblocked. It also pushed me more to the reality that this is a company for children and it's a children's game meant to play after finishing your homework instead of adults where the last thing they want in their lives is an obstacle that completely disables the only co-op mode there is just because Nintendo feels like it.
I get having certain gaming events be timed like Splatfests and such, but this is specifically a mode that would disappoint a minimum of two people if it's unavailable.

>>713681125
glad that you've noticed that real adults drink. I'm proud of you

>>713680301 (OP)
LMFAO and Tendies are still trying to defend this dog shit game

>>713685285

That is 'actual skill' you idiot

why so petty?

>>713694013
Don't backing up to items just gives you shit like a coin/single shroom instead
