Will Nintendo swallow their pride and reverse this update? Or are we stuck with commute Kart forever?

>>714067318 (OP)
Mario kart was really the wrong choice for a launch title.

How many sales did it do? If they already turned a profit you can bet it's staying.

>>714067547
Of course it already turned a profit, but on the other hand 8DX sold like 60 million and World is probably at 5 million. If they don't fix it nobody is going to keep buying the game in the coming years

Nothing is worse than the ski jump road coming down from Starview Peak. It's literally like a two mile straight with a few jumps, absolutely zero steering required, no obstacles on the track.

The complaint about connection races seems artificial and forced. You look at people playing for 5 minutes and realizes normal races are also mostly lines, with really few parts where you turn more than 20 degrees at a time.both are all about bagging

There's still only like a 1 in 20 chance of getting a real track as one of the 3 picks, some YouTuber ran the numbers

Well I played it pre switch 2 launch and it was instant in matchmaking, so I dont know what this claim means.
Also 3.5 million potential players vs 61 million.

Also, is it so bad that MKW and 8 are different? 8 is still very much playable and even a definitive classic MK game.
I think its great that mkw doesnt replace a 8 year old game and that that game is still being played.
Dont like the openworld shit? Dont buy and play mkw and stick to 8.
They both work and look great

That's the weirdest thing. The open world segments shouldn't be counted as laps. They should be like a bonus to the main race, and depending on your placement in reaching the course you should get a bonus item or something for the full 3 lap race at the course.

Why are people sperging so hard about their baby kart racer having some random elements. This reeks like the smashfags taking their game too seriously.

>>714067318 (OP)
I put 40 hours (mainly online)before that update, it was a fun time and I even won sole races against randoms and in the /v/ lobbies, but the game is just a snack while we wait for Bananza, couldnt care less about "pro players opinion"

>>714071868
Not if Choco Island has anything to say about it, most cancerous track in the game by far, it's shocking because this game actually managed to fix a retro track like Banshee Boardwalk by actually LETTING YOU SEE WHERE YOU'RE FUCKING GOING!!!

Minmaxers are still winning though. They just stay in the back, get their 20 coins, then abuse an OP item combo on the last lap. And we can barely use all the cool tech and shortcuts we learned in TT that actually require skill and knowledge

That might work, if you're really lucky - that's literally a strategy that's existed since Mario Kart 1 on SNES.

But MKW is so balanced it's harder to cheese. This is why minmaxing fags are seething - some tryhard fags are getting raped by 10 year olds and it's glorious to see.

Even a filthy casual like me can play and occasionally come first, something which would never happen to me in MK8.

Feels good.

People are already gonna see outside the tracks because of the free roam and knockout modes.
People play MK because they like tracks, they like doing 3 lap format and have liked it for decades so why get rid of 3 laps on tracks? How do tour modes even have their own identity if regular matches have intermission too?
Would literally be fine if they just let you do 3 laps even with intermissions.

Yes retard. Mario Kart consistently sold so much every generation because it was very consistent in its primary gameplay offerings. Fucking around with that is a supremely terrible decision in the long run. Mario Kart wasn't like Zelda, which desperately needed a wakeup call. World's focus on open world and it dictating so much of the primary gameplay is just bandwagon-chasing.
>>714068275
See above.

>>714080321
Nobody complained that PUBG didn't play like Tribes or that Fortnite didn't play like Counter Strike when those came out. People don't like the commute tracks because they're bad, not because it's different

>>714067318 (OP)
If they wanted people to exclusively play intermission, why even give us the chance to play a normal race? Hell, why even open up the first race of a Grand Prix with a normal three lap romp when you could've started with an intermission? They're being really passive aggressive about the whole thing.

>people complaining about not having to do the exact same track three times in a row as they go around in a circle
A line and a circle that is constantly different is somehow worse than three circles with less shortcuts and possibilities of skill expression.

>>714080757
People are complaining about the lack of OPTIONS.
There's not good argument for why you couldn't give people the option to choose where they wanted to play it classic, or with the highways where you drive to the track.

Also, people don't like it cause the long highways are just 4 minutes of hanging back the entire time with no real shortcuts, collecting coins on track you can literally just hold A most of the time and do nothing, and then like 30 seconds of the actual track that's fun with the turns and the rails, that's over faster than it started.

People just want the OPPORTUNITY to be able to choose an OPTION to let them play the game how they want to. Something that's been a staple of most game since the dawn of multiplayer games but Nintendo suddenly decides they want everyone to play the game how they want them to.

People are right to be upset that an $80 has these sorts of issues, and only a blind fanboy with zero context would defend this.

>>714080757
This is bait right?
People like 3 laps because they get more chances to perfect their laps and enjoy track mechanics and shortcuts. If the lightning bolt or something fucked up your line or you fell off the track you get another chance to do it again.
As far as what I've seen the tracks have great skill expression meanwhile intermission has shit like "first place gets to get in an immediate invincible helicopter and skip ahead"

>>714080783
I was gonna buy a Switch 2 for World till thus update. Thanks for saving me $550 Nintendo.

>>714080990
You need some kind of skill expression in the game. It doesn't necessarily have to be snaking, 8DX's 200cc mode was fine too, also World's aggressive shortcuts. But if you don't have anything like Wii, 7 or 8DX's 150cc mode, it degenerates into this weird metagame of playing the odds with items, sandbagging the race until the last few seconds and then trying to overtake everyone with a shock and triple mushrooms

>>714080783
You mean, the thing I only have as of now because they had a Mario Kart Bundle because I didn't want to spend 80 dollars on a game clearly not worth 80 dollars, and was perfectly content with waiting to get one until Kirby Air Riders released in case they didn't have any MKWo bundles?

riveting gameplay, i almost considered pressing the drift button once

>it's good because... it's just so heckin COMFY bros
>woooah you can take le cute wholesome photos
>all you could do in MK8 was... race and that's just soooo boring, the 8 fatigue is so real ugh

>>714081354
Nintendo has effectively convinced me that the best time to get a Switch 2, if at all, is a few years from now when they make a new model for it, and they've actually added more content for MKW and fix this fuckery. And that's IF an emulator for it doesn't come out like it always does.

>>714080783
I did actually. Shit sucked so much I returned it. Walmart must've known MK World sucked because they didn't even care about me redeeming the code.
>>714080745
It was alarming to realize that Nintendo considers the classic style of gameplay that's sold dozens of millions before is now the "tacked on" part of the game, not the open world. maybe a way larger chunk of MK8DX's sales were from holiday bundles than we thought, but that's a line of conversation Nintendofags are scared to christ to touch with a 40 foot pole lmao

>>714079212
Mario Kart is Serious Business.

>>714081143
I don't think it should be an option at the moment at least. The main reason people bought the game is the new content and not everyone picking random wants traditional tracks, people picked it a lot in mk8 in my experience it was 40% of the time which would lead me to believe the majority of people before picking a track did not want a traditional track most of the time.
I just think it would be ideal to at least at the start keep the game how it was designed to be played for the people that bought it to play it that way (most people when buying it had no idea you could do a traditional track when you bought it in multiplayer) rather than conceding to a minority that wants something that goes against the original design.
Maybe later on it can be considered after measuring the statistics for a while and seeing if it's necessary and it's truly what the players want because there's no chance at least a fraction of people complaining don't even have the game because this always happens when Nintendo releases a new game that's popular.

>>714081891
The whole "classic style Mario Kart is for competitive tryhards" narrative is one of the most pathetic and desperate talking points I've seen Nintendo fans come up with in a long time.

The average owner is a kid or has kids and doesn't get into youtube balancing update reviews just to know if he should buy a game. it will sell because it is the new one. it gets pushed with new console sales.

No way, look at this autistic shit: >>714079212

Playing 3 laps does not make me an '8snoy' or whatever the fuck, I actually like the connector tracks but the ratio is flipped right now. It should be 70% of races are 3 laps, not 70% routes.

Why is this so hard, Nintendo?

>>714082243
People picking random in 8 has nothing to do with this
The game gives you like 3 choices and then random. Maybe you just did that track a shitload of times or you don't like a track. Maybe you KNOW people are always going to pick easy tracks like moo moo meadows or the figure 8 track and need to go with something else.

>>714083015
And yet 95% of players were picking random prior to the update. Curious.

hanging in the back is literally the winning choice. there is no reason to be in the front in intermissions, because there's not enough skill expression to gain a significant lead over the people in the back, and at any moment some chucklefuck with a golden mushroom might cut across half the course to get ahead of you. being in the middle or front just puts you at risk for no reason.

>>714083530
holy austism

do people actually play mario kart with randoms

>>714084435
It's just one lap unless you go to DK Spaceport or Rainbow Road. (Or from Acorn Heights to Mario Circuit, otherwise you just do one lap on one of the circuits.) Let's hope you weren't going from Boo Cinema, or else you're racing on SNES Mario Circuit 1!

Double Dash had a large fundamental difference to the rest of the series, and it was still fun because they didn't fuck with the tracks themselves.
If the transition tracks were only ever used in the knock-out mode, people would be fine with them.

Granted, I'm saying this as someone who doesn't have a Switch 2/MKW but I'm having a hard time buying into some of the criticisms towards World when, most of the time, the same people will also simultaneously praise fucking MK8 of all things which was further casualized and homogenized even by Mario Kart standards and had to go through an extra release and multiple DLC waves to get to where it is.

>>714068275
If the new tracks aren’t fun then it is only natural that many players would try to avoid them.

Yeah yeah I know, but everything about World's reception is showing me that I no longer fit into this community after the roaring success of 8.
The Excite Bike arena is one of the most popular tracks in 8 and its literally two stretched out entirely straight lines with a total of two mild curves.

as someone whos dabbled in the series over the years i for one am glad theyre fucking around with the core identity just the perfect amount. I think whats great about the backwards compatability of the switch 2 is that now more than ever they can afford to experiment because at any time if you want the old mario kart it literally runs on the exact same system. I'd rather have 2 different mario karts than like one slightly tuned differently but largely the same. I say this also as someone who thinks double dash is the best mario kart before world came out as it was the only other mario kart to try shaking things up a bit.

>>714080473
It only sucks because you don't know how to snake

The popularization of attempting to bypass it and the reaction to it being stamped out kinda flies right in the face of this.
>I think whats great about the backwards compatability of the switch 2 is that now more than ever they can afford to experiment because at any time if you want the old mario kart it literally runs on the exact same system.
Because that made the prioritization of spinoffs and experiments on WiiU SO great to endure.
>I'd rather have 2 different mario karts than like one slightly tuned differently but largely the same.
You literally never thought this until you saw Nintendo actively dissuade public online play from engaging in classic Kart races. The grapes aren't sour just because they're no longer in reach, anon.
>I say this also as someone who thinks double dash is the best mario kart before world came out as it was the only other mario kart to try shaking things up a bit.
Double Dash shook things up A BIT. They didn't change the core fucking structure of Mario Kart. And it still ended up being divisive. Time is absolutely not going to be kind to World.

>>714086139
zoomers need to stop pretending they play games. All they do is sports gambling and cock sucking

I really hate Nintendo's way of "balancing" multiplayer games. They remove any mechanic or tactic that allows you to outplay others by playing the game normally, but then they do literally nothing about the degenerate strategies that arise out of that decision. Smash Bros. and Mario Kart are the worst examples.
>the most important advanced technique in Melee is L-canceling, not wavedashing / wavelanding, because it makes moves safe-on-shield and lets you start and extend combos
>L-canceling was an entirely intentional technique in both 64 and Melee (source: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/Control.html#空中攻撃着地)
>Nintendo gets butthurt
>remove L-canceling
>decrease hit stun
>now fewer attacks are safe-on-shield and grounded attacks can't extend combos consistently because you can't L-cancel into them
The end result is Ultimate: a game where the top tiers are all zoners and DLC characters with gimmicks spamming projectiles and safe aerials at each other. There's one top tier rushdown character who isn't a zoner or gimmick character in disguise: Fox. People who play it competitively are fucking miserable.

It's the same shit with Mario Kart: remove mechanics, limit the effectiveness of new mechanics, obfuscate character and kart statistics (which does nothing to prevent people from sweating), punish people for trying to win, and then do fucking nothing about "bagging" and every single person playing as a baby in the blooper kart, which is a hundred times more degenerate.

The "not my problem" design philosophy.

>>714087108
i think youre projecting me being more of a nintendo shill than i am so I'll just clarify by saying obvs the 1.1.2 update is shit. I like the intermission tracks cuz im a casual but they do need to change it to let you just pick regular 3 lap races. I'm just saying that as long as that option is added I think it's a solid game and one I enjoy more than MK8D personally. There's lots of nitpicks (no list displaying p-switches youve completed/missed, no easy way to play free roam multiplayer, they ought to have revolutionized the singleplayer a bit more with free roam by including bosses or like extra challenging 1v1 races like 3D mario styled etc)

>>714087605
I think they want to give the impression that they're giving literally everyone a fighting chance, but that's an impossible ideal without turning the game into an actual casino that randomly gives out 1st places independent of player input. Very few people want to deal with something that retarded, so you get people bagging like cunts and using Baby Blooper combinations because even the slightest advantage is better than having zero influence on a race.

im starting to realize mk8 somehow had more dynamic track designs, I think it was due to the anti gravity mechanic allowing more creative freedom

>>714067318 (OP)
>it now takes longer to find a match in MK World than it does on the 8 year old MKDX
It makes me laugh how easily people expose themselves for never playing the game. You literally get dropped into the map and wait for whatever race is on to end. It's always taken longer. I'm in a lobby with only 5 empty slots, which has been a thing since day one. You faggots won't kill this game no matter how hard you try.

>>714081525
>doesn't like Nintendo
>buys it anyways
What did you expect you flaming homosexual?

>>714091214
Imagine League of Legends or Counter Strike players bragging about getting dropped in a lobby with "only" 5 empty slots
Tendies will really eat up anything

I wouldn't mind the intermissions if they were a bit more interesting. It feels like they are meant to be more focused on duking it out with items but it's basically just not fun if you are a front runner. At least during a race, you still have the track to focus on in the lead, intermissions are just wide straight roads.

>>714091321
I'm not bragging, I'm telling you how it is. MK8 was always the same. You'd get lots of full lobbies, and a lot of the time, you'd only get 8 players. But shitposters who don't play the games don't know these things.

>sell your console with one game
>ruin it with a patch
lmao get trolled

The more I play this game, the more I realize Whistolestop is the best course in the game for actually playing on, and some of it feels like they didn't even do it on purpose.

>>714082731
>Going through 'Competitive' mario kart to access what should be a simple game mode setting

we're reaching levels of cringe that shouldn't even be possible

There is factually no difference between a normal track and a commute. Its the same skill level (none) and the same item management strategy. You are just bandwagoning

I don't know how anyone defends nintendo at this point. I notice nintendo heavily leans on nostalgia and cuteness of the characters to sell the product. But if you strip that away, the actual product is often dumbed down and shitty.

>>714071868

>>714086713
Are you confusing it with another MKWii mod? Retro Rewind is mostly just tracks from all the other Mario Karts ported over. I like it precisely because all the tracks are good official quality as opposed to something like CTGP where all the fanmade tracks vary wildly in quality and most are shit imo.

>>714080671
Any other Wii mods out there or is that the best one?

easy bait: the thread

>>714094356
Retro Rewind is the best one for retro courses bar none. If you want original fanmade courses, then those are a bit more mixed bags and I don't really know which one people play the most. I know the Rewind guys also make one called Mario Kart Midnight but I haven't checked if it's up to date. There's also CTGP which is the most famous one and another anon mentioned MKWii Deluxe which has a shit ton of courses.

>>714093058
Literally every clip showing off the new movement mechanics to make cuts have been on proper tracks.

That's honestly the biggest reason players are hating the intermissions, they're ultimately playing the game for the new movement tech and there unable to have that on intermissions

>>714094542
well more to the point, your performance on the intermissions doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you're at the front, at the back, in the middle....doesn't matter. In fact to be honest, you prefer to be more towards the back so you can roll a powerful item.

Basically you can cut the entire intermission section out of the race, and it would be the same. There's no reason to even sweat those parts.

>>714094787
(continued)
what most good players do is sit at the back, roll a powerful item. Then hold the item for the entire race. The average race is like 3 minutes, so they'll hold it until the last 30 seconds, then use their items. Their placement at the end is all about what items they could chain from their OP item.

And that's how an intermission track is played. Imagine if you were a super sweaty guy intent on always being in the front and being in 1st place at all costs....what are you even doing? lmao. There's no reason to do that. You probably will lose doing that unless you smuggled a couple power items up with you.

>>714084958
Is that guy actually saying 24 racers is a for thing? It's horrible

I find it funny how Tendies try to use the "Muh Sales" argument for everything... even if the argument has nothing to do with sales (like in this case, active player numbers).

Separating routes and classic races wouldn't fix one of the bigger issues about routes themselves: most routes end with a single-lap race. If routes at least ended with a 3-lap race (or 5 laps with the SNES tracks and Peach Stadium 1), then nobody would be complaining. People are forgetting that routes are the ONLY way to play the reverse version of many tracks, or the water section of Crown City, or even Daisy's Castle, and they're all only available in this 1-lap nonsense, not even in time trails.

Also, Battle Mode needs more options.

>>714101637
>If routes at least ended with a 3-lap race (or 5 laps with the SNES tracks and Peach Stadium 1), then nobody would be complaining.
They would, because the route is a waste of time. It's boring to sit through. It might as well be a sightseeing show that has no affect on the race.

Let's say you're playing an intermission track. You just crossed lap 1 finish line. What are your chances of winning the race if you're in....2nd place? 5th place? 20th place?
Answer: all the same. Because this portion of the race has literally 0 affect on the outcome. You can literally drive backwards. Or drive off a cliff a few times. Or sit around and admire the cows. It has 0 impact on your final placement.

Great.

>>714101913
Even on some courses this is a problem, no one really likes Koopa Beach for example. I'm not saying every track should copy its layout, but Whistlestop is the best designed track in the game and I'm surprised they didn't take its strengths into consideration.

Even so, the fact that there are tracks in the game that are EXCLUSIVE to routes is really fucking annoying, if they update the game again in the near future, they gotta at least make these track selectable outside of picking routes:

>Mario Circuit 2
>Mario Circuit 3
>Crown City 1 (Rooftop)
>Crown City 2 (Back Alley)

Data indicates that the odds of being able to play a normal 3 lap course in VS mode is about 15%, assuming everyone votes for the normal track when it appears as one of the non random options

>>714104207
If you finish on a track that's only connected to 2 other tracks you get the option to select a 3rd unconnected track and that will be a 3 Lap race.

Like I said, you are unsuited for being around high trust social environments. I'm sure you can find other places where you'd fit right in.
>>714105173
Changing characters is an underhanded tactic to try to get an upper hand against your opponent by capitalizing on his inexperience. If you are getting outplayed you should strive to become better at the game on a fundamental level, not use a cheap psychological exploit.
As for the controllers, there is nothing inherently wrong with using a Wiimote, but everyone should be on an even playing field and that includes using the same style of controller. This particular club went for the GameCube controller, so you should respect it instead of demanding that the community's bow down to your individual preference.

Not the same guy you replied to. Also the rat's just surprised at how brown you are.

>>714106615
Then why did you reply as though the discussion had included the spike restriction at all? You are either limited in terms of verbal ability or dishonest

None of these tracks can be used in 3-lap races

>>714106786
They are still part of the brawl club rules, no? Then surely you can explain why a person spiking and edgeguarding would be deemed unfit for a high trust society. The way you skirt around this makes it seem as if you're the one who's being dishonest here.

The primary demographic for videogames in general and primary target is adults. Kids don't play videogames anymore. I know thats shocking because it refutes your deflective damage control but its true. Nintendo's main demographic is 25-35 year olds. This data is readily googleable.

The data comes from nintendo themselves before you try to damage control. Yes you will jump through the hoops to see this as I wont be providing it. Hell even if you try to google "Nintendo is for kids' it gives you a target demograhic range of 12-30. 12 year olds are damn teenagers already so your argument has literally 0 footing.

You managed to make the observation that the game was good enough to hold someone's attention for 9 years yet fail to come to the conclusions that the new game should be using that formula.

The kicker is these people literally aren't asking for 8 deluxe again. They love the new movement tech, they want online to be focused on tracks that actually let them make use of it.

Kek I haven't gotten a Switch 2 yet but if this is true I could use it to train some of the Product Managers at work as a cautionary tale
>Release new feature
>Get clear user feedback that the feature is bad
>Double down on feature anyway
>Retention rate drops
Actually a shocking move by Nintendo considering how much of their stock value depends on brand equity.
Reminds me of how hard people turned on the switch animal crossing. Instead of fixing everything people hated, they just shat out a bunch of low effort content updates and abandoned it.

>>714118986
Smash is a literal party game you absolute fucking ape.

>>714122820
honestly it seems more likely that this was a pre-planned patch and they had no idea it was going to cause a shitstorm
i don't think they're so in touch with the community that they'd recognize the behavior and squelch it so quickly

>>714123246
>people specifically vote random to bypass intermissions
>the patch's only major change is to prevent random from guaranteeing the bypass
Sounds very deliberate to me

>>714122908
Not true at all, the skill ceiling is extremely high.

>>714126350
Smashpedos actually believe this

>>714126746
The existence of "sweats" at all means the game has a skill gap.

>>714123246
Lemme tell you a little story about nintendo and them doing qol updates
In Splatoon 2 you weren’t able to change your loadout between matches, you could only do so by leaving the lobby which made it very cumbersome. In Mario Maker 2, when doing vs. games online you could ONLY do so with randoms, you couldn’t with friends. These were widespread complaints people had about those games and they eventually addressed them. These updates happened months later mainly to coincide with a content update, but they were addressed nonetheless
With Mario Kart World a complaint people had was not liking the intermission races, but they didn’t complain much since they could easily get around it by choosing random. In less than 3 weeks nintendo put out a patch that did nothing else BUT patch this workaround to FORCE people to do intermissions, wether they liked it or not
There’s being good faith, and then there’s “nintendo can do no wrong” which you are doing right now

>>714127020
Even if that were the case the stage hazards, items, assisys and final smashes were included to ensure a level and chaotic experience so that everyone has a roughly equal chance of winning

Absolutely based

>>714127209
Compare how they usually fix issues to how swift they were to “fix” people skirting around playing intermissions. It wasn’t a bug or them not expecting backlash, this was deliberate because they want you playing how they want you to
>b-but they’ll fix it after the backlash
They won’t. If they were gonna address people’s problem with not enough full tracks they wouldn’t’ve made this change in the first place

>>714084757
>human scum
maybe something lost in translation but that seems excessive lmao. they just don't want players to ignore the majority of the content.

I mean, what other games are they supposed to be doing maintenance on right now? Welcome Tour?

>>714076816
I wonder if this will make Nintendo realize they shouldn't have neutered their system-seller only three weeks after it came out with only one other game on the horizon.

>>714127134
Even with those things, someone trying to win will destroy a casual who plays once a month.

>>714067318 (OP)
I actually like the open world tracks because of the sheer variety and the race being a unique route, but the update was unnecessary because I wasn't really seeing a vast amount of people choosing random anyway, it was maybe like half, so there was still a good balance of 3 lap races and open world tracks. Maybe what they could do instead is just make 3 lap races appear on the selection far more often.

>>714127815
>They won’t.

Considering the fact that many JAPANESE players are even complaining about the update, I'm pretty sure the devs are gonna do something about it eventually. They don't give a shit about the western community, but they sure do give a shit about their own.

>>714127924
Again, they usually group in these sorts of things alongside content updates so it isn’t just bugfix after bugfix, yet for some reason they rushed out this patch asap. Doesn’t that raise an eyebrow?

I have no sympathy for tendies. I bought my OLED switch last year and I got all of my games off of marketplace for less than 50% of their cost with cases. It's unacceptable to release a console with this much anti-consumer shit and a shitty screen. I'll wait three or four years after Nintendo gets their egos checked and refreshes this shit with an OLED version and the prices are forced back down. Don't pretend it can't happen because it happened with the Wii U and DS

>>714067937
It's uneventful if you're first place but it's meant to make you interact more with other racers and make it feel like a battleground. Going for slipstreams, bumping into each other, throwing items at each other. Not just autistically focusing on drifting and mini-turboing for 90% of the race with no interact with other players. The game is fun.The game is a battle. If it's not fun, why bother? If it's not a battle, where's the fun?

>>714128412
Oh they 100% were butthurt behind the scenes at how 99% of people didn't care for the intermissions (at least not in standard race lobbies, KOT is fine).
>why dey no rike? u pray game rong!!!! >:(
And they couldn't care less about chatter on X, "do not engage".

>>714128279
The only “fix” people would accept is just getting rid of intermissions altogether, and doing that would axe a huge chunk of “content” which nintendo would rather not do. Not to mention nintendo are japanese themselves and they’re a stubborn bunch. To change it would be to admit being wrong about doing intermissions and that they are boring, which they’ll never do

>>714067318 (OP)
who is that man?

>>714128678
They could just fix the intermissions and make them not boring and tedious shit. I'm not sure why that's just not an option at all for fans or Nintendo

>>714128586
>I bought my OLED switch last year and I got all of my games off of marketplace for less than 50% of their cost with cases
Nigger why didn't you just hack it

>>714128848
That's a lot of work. Especially for the "over 200" intermissions. Funny that they were actually bragging about them at first

>>714128678
Personally speaking, I don't want the intermissions gone completely, but I do at least want the option to select 3-lap races online. You can select 3-lap races in local and friend lobbies, so why not just add the option to online?

>>714127842
Shouldn't the players get to decide that?

You WILL buy the classic mode

>>714128669
They’ll have to engage eventually if the backlash keeps up at this level. 99% isn’t 100%. Remember how the splatoon world champions from last year got cancelled for leaked dm’s? Eventually they had to address it following backlash to where they stripped them of their title, removed all videos on the event, and even got rid of their special in-game banner. Not expecting a formal apology, but they this isn’t one of those things that can be shrugged off especially given all the surrounding factors ($80, only game they got atm, etc.)
>>714128848
Exactly how would they anyway without redoing the whole open world? The issue is lack of twist and turns and them just being straight lines. Only way would be to further clutter the road which just turns them into obstacle courses. Not disagreeing, just that it’s not as easy as you may think
>>714129216
Never a thing they bragged about, they only sold it as “you can drive between courses
>>714129393
Supposedly it was an issue back in DS, Wii, and especially 7

Double Dash is nowhere near as much a departure from the rest of the Mario Karts as World is. Its only real gimmick is double characters with character-specific items.

World straight up changes the formula everyone loved for decades. It's like how the MCU went from being about the Avengers to being about a bunch of race-swapped minor characters nobody cared about that ended up killing Marvel's audience.

>>714070936
The game is for everyone, you retard. There's a difference between games for kids and games for everyone. Nintendo has always made games that all audiences can enjoy and not games that only kids can enjoy.

Why can't we play as tokotoko?

>>714129590
>Supposedly it was an issue back in DS, Wii, and especially 7

Is that why 8 and World only lets you pick from a few tracks at a time? What kind of issue was it?

>>714129968
Update DLC pack with all the currently unplayable NPCs.

Rallychads winning
Circuitrannies losing

>>714129750
World changes how the tracks work, but fundamentally it's closer to 8 than Double Dash is, the duo gimmick is definitely the most radical one Nintendo has done

>>714081418
I remember his KH3 video where he said he was going to defend the game, then it's just dick sucking the game, claiming it can do no wrong, and never bringing up much points, just saying he likes it over and over until the video ends.

>>714067318 (OP)
They'll ether reverse it, or add some way to queue up for regular tracks. When Ultimate came out people would queue for 1v1s and be put into FFAs but after the first update they changed it so you always got 1v1 if you selected it. They clearly see most people want regular tracks, so they'll support it.

>>714081418
Every BOTW / Neotendo superfan is the exact same archetype of person. There's an uncanny similarity between all of them that is hard to put into words. It's not even a fully articulated stereotype but I just know in my heart of hearts this guy thinks that Atlantis is the best animated Disney movie.

>>714130145
Don’t quote me but mainly because of certain glitches on tracks people would only vote for them. In DS people would always go for luigi’s mansion because it had some bug that would crash the game. In Wii people chose courses like grumble volcano because of the one glitch that let you do the whole track in under a minute. In 7, people would only choose SNES rainbow road because it was the shortest and people could farm VR points on it. Mainly things like that which lead people to only vote for a select few courses

>>714131205
Are there any tracks in World currently that people would gravitate towards if given the chance? I feel like people like most of them at least.

>>714131164
that picture is kind of hot.

>>714080536
unova sucks dick

>>714131489
Anything that isn't an intermission

>>714131489
Frankly it’s impossible to get a read given intermissions aren’t courses so people only really choose random outside of when a course isn’t an intermission. DK Spaceport, Rainbow Road, and Peach Beach though are popular picks given they let you run the whole course even if as an intermission

>>714129590
>Exactly how would they anyway without redoing the whole open world?
This is a billion dollar franchise. It won't hurt them to redesign this shit

How is there no trackbuilder? Halo forges were 20 years ago. But MKWorld can't give us a trackbuilder interface? What the fuck?

>>714104397

This faggot is a huge feminist who shits on Xenoblade because Fiora (a woman) is in love with Shulk (a man) and tries to win his affection.

>>714132520
Considering the P-Switch missions usually have pop-up ramps, blocks, obstacles, and goals, I'm sure they'll eventually add a custom track mode in the future. It'll probably work exactly like the one from Mario Kart Live, where you have to drive around an area to make your custom loop.

>>714130369
The duo gimmick barely changes anything other than letting you swap between items. Double item boxes are in 8 and World too now.

The intersections are the most radical change made to any Mario Kart game bar none.

>>714132520
hardware limitations

>>714131489
99% of people would choose actual tracks instead of intermissions.

There's no stand-out community favorite like there was in past games yet. Mainly because people haven't had a chance to actually get to know the courses since they can only do 1 lap a race and the game is still new.
