I keep forgetting this game exists at all

I played the demo yesterday at a Target that had the Switch 2 in stock. Its Mari Kart again. Also the screen does not look any better, at least not better than Steam Deck.

/thread. the first $80 videogame in 30 years and this is the best they come up with?

I haven’t played or given a shit about Mario kart since the DS but general discourse seems to be this is worse than MK 8 and not even in terms of amount of content

>>718469307 (OP)
I played this with a friend last weekend and my brief impressions were not good.
>character selection screen is a mess akin to that Zelda game with the echos
>you choose a course but first have to ride to it
>maps are linear and short.
>24 players on screen is too chaotic. I just feel like a ball in a lottery machine.
It’s a “fun” game, but absolutely not worth a switch 2 and 80 bucks to play it. Also, am I the only one who doesn’t think the graphics are that good? A lot of reviews have commented on them, and I don’t see how they are any better than the prior MK. I’m not a graphics whore so maybe there’s some lighting effects on grass blades I’m supposed to be amazed by.

Gaming and genre fatigue are at an all time high, had this game released 10 years ago, it would've been something...

This reeks of botw/totk spam threads.
Did you finally find something new to complain about for the next decade?

I’m having a blast

The girls' costumes and photo mode are what sold me on it.

ftfy

Nintendo's first game. Sony and Microsoft have released games priced at 80 bucks previously and I'm not talking about special editions. But I guess if you're willing to pay 700 bucks for a console, then 80 for a game doesn't sound like much.

>WAAHHH I CANT USE THE CHEAP SHORTCUTS I SPENT 100 HOURS PRACTICING!!!
Get good

Which is hilarious, because that argument shows how completely retarded the average normalfag and /v/ user is. MKW has not a single track that’s a straight line. Every single one has turns, sharp corners, and branching paths. You can make the argument that the presence of “transition courses” means there are very few races with closed circuits and traditional laps, but MK8 had multiple tracks exactly like that and they were beloved by fans.

The core racing experience is still there. Idiots controlled the narrative yet again and now a retarded meme has stuck in their retarded brains.

>nintendo releases a game
>all the nintendo adults buy it
>they act like it's the best game in its series, it's a legendary title, game of the year, one for the ages
>everyone stops playing it after a week and never mentions it again
>the next title is released and the cycle repeats

Well that's just an outright lie. But the fact that you have to treat fucking TURNS as a selling point is dire.
>but MK8 had multiple tracks exactly like that and they were beloved by fans.
Those weren't the overwhelming majority of tracks, those weren't forced down people's throats aggressively, those had actually interesting track design, and those were still designed with unique motifs and atmospheres rather than being generic highways/waterways.
>The core racing experience is still there.
And the intermission tracks (which are the majority of the game and what Nintendo really wants to force the player to engage with) do an exceptionally shit job of taking advantage of it.
>Idiots controlled the narrative yet again and now a retarded meme has stuck in their retarded brains.
You mean "a narrative that didn't go my may of unconditional uncritical worship actually prevailed for once".

>>718472092
holy shit it really is a straight line

>>718469307 (OP)
it's so weird that this game has apparently sold millions of copies in just one month and yet there's ZERO discussion about it
not just here, but anywhere

>>718474343
Not true. There's some MKfags seething in the Air Ride Direct thread.

>>718469307 (OP)
meta fags killed drifting
meta fags killed wheelies
meta fags killed bagging
and now meta fags killed wall riding and short cuts

>>718474643
i am honestly just confused
why release TWO different "racing" games in the same fucking year when mario kart itself has been received so poorly due to the tracks? and air riders seems even more braindead than mkw

>>718475389
kirby and metroid fags have been waiting 20 years for new games.
Let them universally like their trash and live in a world where they cant criticize it.

>>718475389
I think it was more World's fault ironically, since it was meant to be a Switch 1 game originally.

>>718474343
most people realized it isn’t very good but are afraid to say so because any criticism gets dogpiled

>>718474643
>guy who makes up people to win an online argument

>>718476228
It's really only here at this point where you get dogpiled for it. Even Nintendo outlets and Youtubers who criticize the game are now considered "snoys" or "grifters".

If ever there were a Nintendo game to exemplify that quantity does not equal or trump quality, it would be Mario Kart World.

>>718477647
For me it’s Smash Ultimate. Between the fuck huge roster, the assist trophies, and god knows what else it’s a bloated fucking nightmare

>>718476228
that's all nintendo games in general
i remember how these weird brown shitskins defended even animal crossing new horizons and now the game is forgotten and will forever be considered the worst in the series

>>718469991
Mario Kart 8 is one of the greatest racing games ever made. MKW is a pile of crap.

>>718470806
But the intermissions are very shortcut intensive. To the point that the meta by far is staying behind with golden mushroom and using it to cut to 1st right at the end.

>>718476593
i can honestly understand the cultism since "woke" got out of hand and sony/microsoft have both been busy fucking themselves over the entire generation, so the brown spicjeets immediately aligned themselves with the company that still gives them sexy waifus

>>718477647
this game has neither quantity nor quality

That one water track in Kirby Air Riders looked better than ~90% of this game.

>>718478287
Also, the TotKfag (the "Eric you got raped" faggot who shows off his eBay'd PAL collection) is some Euroid ETL. How did the Switch suddenly pivot to having shitskins and Euros as their biggest fanboys? Historically those are the least likely to gravitate to Nintendo.

>>718470843
This.

>>718478812
Who the fuck you think you're fooling?

>>718469307 (OP)
Straight is good, faggot

>>718470843
It's a forced "meme" on the same level as "forced soul" from Mario Wonder
No one is gonna remember that shit

>>718470843
>but MK8 had multiple tracks exactly like that and they were beloved by fans.
Because they weren't trying to get from one part of an open world to another meaning they aren't forced to largely be a straight line and can turn as much as needed.

You're reminding me of the idiot who thought he was making a good point by saying Mount Wario was a favourite in 8. I had to remind him that no, Mount Wario was not a fucking straight line.

>>718469307 (OP)
What is it about Nintendo games that causes so many people on this board to obsessively complain about them and nauseum, especially when so many of these said people pride themselves on never playing them?

>>718479240
“forced soul” genuinely is a thing in the same vein as “forced animation” whether or not anons use the term properly is another story though

>>718471350
>nintendo releases a game
>snoys proceed to seethe and mald about it
Yep.

>>718479526

No games to play

>>718479526
Snoys have no games so they spend all their time shitposting here.

>>718479526
>why do people not play things they don't like?
Did you really ask this question?

It can't compete with 8. Smash Ultimate's successor will run into the same issue.
I'm afraid they'll learn to lowball games on purpose so they don't outshine later entries.

>>718481065
its the same shit with games like tekken
tag 2s roster cannot ever be topped so they just keep adding in meme crossover characters like negan or noctis
