kek what a blunder that was

>>715101781
There must have been some business 7D chess behind that decision. I refuse to believe Furukawa & co made their game less appealing because of wounded egos.

splat3 is a 2-year old game that has hit its planned end of life and it's somehow less dead than mkw that's a month old.

>>715101781
>public lobbies are now a ghost town
I think their matchmaking is just fucked, I would almost never find full 24 player lobbies, even before the change to Random.

>>715109883
I don't know why, but Splatoon 3 seems to have brilliant matchmaking (at least for me), and somewhat interesting take on netcode also. I can always find players to play with, and the game is very much playable, despite some of players being entirely different continent like japan, it just works.

>>715104169
People bitched and moaned about Pikmin 4's auto-lock since its launch, but Nintendo never patched a toggle for it. Whenever they come up with a shiny new gameplay idea, they refuse to concede that it may not work in execution.

>>715109986
Matchmaking has been broken since the first 1.1.1 update, before that it was fine

I would play the shit out of UmaruKart to be quite honest with you familia

I would eat the shit out of umaru to be quite honest with you spicmilia

>make sure that people WILL race on the intermission tracks and that they WILL only race on the actual courses for one lap
>do nothing to fix the literal four fucking layers of RNG behind the Kamek unlockables
They sure do have their priorities sorted out. Watch them hide DLC characters behind Kamek RNG too.

>>715099862 (OP)
I played it for a few hours on launch day, nobody was online, and when you do get a game it's just an ordeal of 24 idiots mindlessly spamming crap at each other. Even the track designs feel underwhelming. I haven't been back to it since.

It's a failed experiment, Nintendo will have to take a long look at this and think about changes to the gameplay and matchmaking if it's going to endure. MK8 was a far, far better game.

>>715112656
Soryy anon, but you criticized a new Nintendo product so that means you're a Snoy even though you prefer a different Nintendo game.

From what I've seen MK8 seems like a better game

Don't worry, Crossworlds will put MKW out of it's misery in September

>>715113774
I love Nintendo games but yeah I will gladly wear the Snoy badge of shame if necessary to tell it like it is regarding MKW

>>715113978
It is by far. Better course design, more personality, fantastic DLC, and it just feels like Mario Kart, which is what I want. MKW has some good ideas and some of the returning items are welcome, but it's horriblly unbalanced, the open world aspect is pointless, and literally nobody wants to do the cross-country thing. Unfortunately Nintendo has a tradition of forcing you to enjoy things the way they want or not at all, because they're always right and we're always wrong.

>>715099862 (OP)
So would it be a good idea to get MK8D now? Kinda got the itch to play MK.
Last one was on the Wii WAY back when.
Just dont want to hop in and have it be dead in a couple of months
Im planning on getting a Switch 2 closer to Duskbloods Release, so im not in a rush to grab one since Im hoping for a revision soon-ish

>>715114826
Nintendo will obviously milk World with DLC for years to come, it's only a matter of whether they back down with their retarded design choices by making QoL patches.

>>715114996
Im moreso talking about the fear of MK8D potentially dying soon, and basically hopping into a sinking ship if I buy it now.
But yeah, fully expecting World to last for the whole generation

>>715112656
Did you even have a chance to play the regular level within those few hours? If you only played online and through single player, you probably would not have played enough to be able to make a valid comparison. This isn't intended to be an attack on you, but more just pointing out that Nintendo made it where you have to go out of your way to actually play the levels. I had no appreciation for the courses until I finished the single player and then went back to actually see what they are like in time trial. However, I would say they are easily just as good as MK8. The new mechanics are really fun and there are a lot of neat tricks to learn compared to previous Mario Kart courses.

>>715114259
>$30 shovelware priced at $70
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>715116834
Mario Kart is $80 though.

>>715116983
actually tendies will brag that they got it at the bargain bin for 50 dollars, so much for the nintendo premium

>>715110582
>Whenever they come up with a shiny new gameplay idea, they refuse to concede that it may not work in execution.
It keeps happening.

thats a funny way of spelling air riders, i guess

>>715109986
I think its just less people play normal races. If I queue for knockout I get full games in 10 seconds. If I queue for vs racing I get a half full lobby after a few minutes

>>715104169
Here's the 7D chess: they have DLC packs lined up that are literally just intermission tracks because they thought they'd be a huge hit. They spent money developing them so they can't just call it quits now because their planned roadmap of content depends on the concept. Screenshot this I know what I'm talking about.

>>715117363
what are they called then?

great for transitions

>>715117937
I assume that any new maps for a DLC pack will be on an island separate from the rest of the game

It's really sad that the sequel to the 5th best selling game of all time has to be reduced to a discord fighter in order to play the fun parts of the game
They just had to copy 8's online modes, add tournament rooms and bam, problem solved.

>>715099862 (OP)
it's worse than 8 DX

still playing f-zero 99

>>715118058
>>715118232
They will make new intermission routes that are extra long from like the west side of the map to the east i guarantee it

>>715110301
Splatoon3 works worse for me because where my rank is, it takes way longer than find a match for me compare to splatoon2. Releasing a new splatoon on the same system is a mistake

>>715117937
>just intermission tracks because they thought they'd be a huge hit.
I wonder how anyone can believe that intermissions were gonna be a hit. Surely they have playtesters. I've literally fallen asleep playing intermission tracks.

You play mario kart online?

>>715118675
For me, it's almost impossible to find any matches in Splat2, because it seems to matchmake only with local players. That means if it's night in my continent, only way to be able to find players is to run some VPN set to Japan as country, and then connect that internet with my Switch, now thinking I'm in japan I can do pvp or salmon run with japanese people. Splat 3 doesn't have this problem, it could be 2am or 6am in the night, I have maximum 90seconds of queue time everytime of the day.

>>715118992
I love how now that intermissions are a thing suddenly everyone defending them thinks the last 40 years of 3 lap tracks in Mario Kart were somehow alienating to casuals. As if Mario Kart didn't become a global phenomenon and household name enjoyed by casuals everywhere already.

>>715118992
Nintendo isn't like Valve, who makes sweeping changes to their games mid-development because of playtesters acting retarded. I assume internal testing is just quality control, and anyone saying "this gameplay mechanic is a bad idea" is immediately shot down.

>>715119125
the match making time always runs longer than 120 sec for me, Im lucky if I can find a game in 90sec.

>>715113978
Deluxe yes, base game 8, hell no

>>715114259
Not with those tracks
