I am going to try to preorder the world bundle, but the open world concept don't sound very appealling to me. What's the point of just driving around esp when you finish all the missions

Does anybody else think that the open world gimmick in this game is kind of odd? It looks fun, no doubt, but I just don’t see why it’s such a big deal. I want to play Mario Kart, not Cars (I played what I got, okay?)! If it, like Cars, just allows you to just screw around while competing missions, then that’s fine. But if it’s an integral part of the gameplay? Then I’m worried. Again, it’s nice for a Mario Kart to offer more single player content, but it seems like that’s pushing aside the multiplayer content: there only seems to be 32 tracks, and the Battle Mode is also looking pretty bare-bones: simply having bigger tracks isn’t going to cut it. Hopefully, Nintendo proves me wrong, and the game will turn out to be a masterpiece. Does anybody else have any thoughts about this aspect?

Me. The potential is great if you look at games like Forza Horizon. I was expecting some kind of proper Mario world or Mario amusement park within this Mario Kart world, but what they showed was some Sonic Frontiers simplified events (with more limited platforming) and a hamburger joint where to get more costumes. They also added Sonic's grinding and wall running to the racing itself. It's a very gimmicky Mario Kart take and one that seems to focus on online interactions and that old time on the road vibe.

@CaleBoi25 Dunno what's more messed up: The R.O.B. Bike or the Dolphin Bike.

@N00BiSH The Dolphin bike for sure, especially when the Dolphin is riding it.

Lol that goldfish bike is awesome. Or whatever kind of fish it is

@JaxonH I think that's a Koi.

@NeonPizza
I agree. Life is short. I come here to share my excitement of the hobby I enjoy with others who feel the same. Unfortunately there are, simply put, toxic people in the world whose enjoyment comes from spreading misery. They're miserable and like us, they want to share with as many people as possible. So a fansite full of excited gamers is open season for misery to find company. Kill that excitement and relish in the fact you're killing their buzz...

That's why I quit taking the bait from such people. You choke out the weeds by depriving them of water. Misery can't find company if you refuse to engage with it 😉

@CaleBoi25 Okay, but this is also the first time Dolphin is playable, so Dolphin on Dolphin Dasher is something that's never been done before. And it is super weird (and close to being too adult TBH).

Watched the trailer again...
... is Wario's Galleon the same course as Wario's Shipyard?
Because it'd be pretty odd to have two nautical themed Wario tracks in one game.

I've seen someone on BlueSky make a very good point that everyone getting the bundle should be aware of: since it's a download code and a launch game, you better be ready for the eshop to not be able to handle the entire demand for a bit.
