@DaniPooo Mario Kart Tour was proven to be MK9 because Nintendo announced new content for MK8 Deluxe through the Booster Course. It's as much counted a mainline entry as Fire Emblem Heroes is counted as a numbered entry of the Fire Emblems. Mobile or not. MKT was made by Mario Kart team. Next Mario Kart will not be called 9. You just want to be justified for dismissing a mobile game.
@Quarth You find so many deniers, even some in the comment section here like post #63 that are blaming other people's consoles being launch Switch models as the cause. Pokemon gets so much defense/deflection from its fanbase I've ever seen.
@RubyCarbuncle So you say.. Yet Nintendo cracks down on offensive names too. Portrayals of threating others with guns is no small matter. My cousin got ISS many years ago for stupidly signaling a gun with his thumb and index finger replicating recoil from shooting at an officer who happened to be walking in the halls. Many objects used in such different angles in the locker or in tangent with others, Nintendo not going to notice all the possible portrayals immediately in their dev team or testers vs the 5 million owners.
@Clyde_Radcliffe Not report the head, report the locker. The problem is, the creator edited it in such a way where the head is depicting holding a real life looking gun pointing at you. If it was a Splattershot Jr or some silly weapon of Splatoons it wouldn't be a big deal, but given that the game warns you to not edit lockers inappropriately/offensively upon unlocking access to them and there being a 'How-to' on Nintendo's support page detailing locker reports, it's no trivial thing.
People don't seem to be aware that lockers edited to look offensive can be reported. The one with the head and object placed intended to look like a gun has been mass reported, I'd imagine.
@Krisi In turn, other Pokemon will get the spotlight. For PS2, Volturb has among the best moveset and stat spread. Thunder, Rain Dance, Mirror Coat, Explosion. Fearow pretty decent, Kadabra etc. Some of the pre-evolved Pokes are exceptional enough.
@Kirgo People seem reluctant to share theirs for some oddball reason, but I have vacant slots in my family plan for standard NSO if you're interested in having online availability at no cost. You seem really passionate about it so I offer to you. Let me know.
@Gamergirl94 @NintendoKnight Mario Kart Tour being a mainline number entry as MK9 has been established since the reveal of the MK8 Booster Course Pass. If you pass Tour as a spinoff against Nintendo's judgement then you're willingly wrong.
@Dang69 Why can't NintendoAttackers like you set your aim on series in need of it like Pokemon. People are far more forgiving on that than Splatoon should be.
Sega has plans for DLC before game released, but when Nintendo has the same intentions with their titles such as Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Splatoon 3, paid DLC at that, they get a pass. I expected nothing less.
I loathe that preset gear sets are continued to be locked behind amiibo. They're not quicker to find the right amiibo and scan than it is to access through a list in-game.
@Member_the_game You're emphazing Mario Kart of all? There's dozens upon dozens of possible track candidates and expanded with the possibility of new courses. . There's some courses I desire, some I care not for. Honestly, would had preferred DLC packs of courses like the WiiU version did so we have the cheaper option to pay for a serving of tracks instead as a whole and stuck with unfavorable ones. But like I said, hot take! Regarding your joke comment, I'm old fashioned, I never thought to look up online menus of restaurants being that I lived in an era without the internet for so long, ha.
@Member_the_game Hot take, but I for one don't care for the surprise element for something that is offered up for sale. I would like to know all additional DLC before I buy over buying into a mystery box of content.
@LacesOfClouds8 I just have to point out how contradictory your post is.. You're asking why the game can't come out sooner, but at the same time you want game development to be smooth paced; not wanting the developers rushed. Huh?
@Axecon HGSS demake? Nah, it'll be a faithful remake to the Gold and Silver games, the BDSP treatment. Gutted Viridian Forest, no Safari Zone, Crystal improvements/features ignored such as Battle Tower.
"Monolith Soft was particularly worried about how Shulk would be viewed, given that vocal protagonists tend to be disliked by RPG fans who would rather prefer a silent avatar"
What! I've tired of silent protagonists. They would be cooler if they weren't walking husks and had their own character and personality shown with their take on the games current events! Am I really in the minority on this?
I've said this before, but I wish they withheld the Tour tracks for the next installment Mario Kart 10 (yes, Mario Kart Tour is 9, like it or not) so that more of the courses prior to MK8 could be better focused on being remade.. Tour tracks are still being developed for that entry so instead of a handful or two making it into MK8, it would have been so much better if they had released all Tour tracks into MK10, IMHO.
Personally, I don't care at all for the Tour tracks because they're for the most part based on real world locations and it breaks the immersion in the Mario universe. They could had saved them all for the next Mario Kart 10 installment instead of a few making it in through DLC and giving less focus on retro courses outside of Tour.
Sorry for my ignorance, but how come Kirby can barely suck up these everyday objects, yet he has been capable of swallowing stuff whole before? Is his sucking capabilities diminishing?
