Thread 715130520

I am convinced some random junior developer went on one (1) road trip through the United States and presented this as a concept for a game and it was turned into Mario Kart World.

>>715130520 (OP)
That or they live picrel and said "this, but with Mario Kart"

>>715130520 (OP)
I imagine it went like this:
>How can we make Mario Kart bigger?
>...open world!
>24 racers!
>interconnected tracks!
>elimination races!
>Brilliant! MAKE IT NOW! FOR THE SWITCH 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>wow this knockout tour is fun! fans are going to love it! and we're right on schedule!
>...OH SHIT WE FORGOT ABOUT THE GRAND PRIX
>FUCK WHO WAS WORKING ON BATTLE MODE?
>I THOUGHT THE OTHER TEAM WAS PADDING OUT THE OPEN WORLD, AH SHIT WE HAVE TO DO THAT TOO?
>DAMN IT, CUT THE ROSTER DOWN TO GIVE US DLC OPPORTUNITIES OR ELSE BOWSER'S GOING TO ROAST US ALIVE
>IT'S TOO LATE, WE HAVE TO SELL IT FOR $80 IF WE WANT TO MEET OUR NUMBERS
>FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

>>715130520 (OP)
wahoo

You overprice a lose product to make the upsell(bundle) look good

MK8 is better. MKW spends way too much time on boring driving between courses.

Nintendo wanted Forza Mario Kart

Or they played Forza Horizon

>MK World
oh right that was a thing
I'm glad we got that out of the way quick so now MK9 can begin development

Take the Choro Q pill

would be the best mk if you could just toggle intermissions
why are japs so autistic

>>715141953
MKW is MK9 retard

>>715130520 (OP)
It's a great concept but botched in execution.

>>715141428
Yes, MK8DX is better sans the half-assed DLC tracks.

>>715143280
Bring on MK 10

>>715133109
Maybe if you were constantly going against traffic and half of the NPC drivers were suicidal the intermissions would be fun.
