@Bigmanfan I'm planning on checking out the Mario Kart Discord server. I think people there host rooms all the time. I'm also planning to look into competitive MKW and possibly join some of those events.

@turmeric16 I think you misunderstand the YouTubers. They're upset because they genuinely love the game and think this update hurts it. There is negativity for the sake of negativity, but this is criticism with the hope that Nintendo will hear it and fix the game.

@rallydefault Not my experience, nor is it the experience of most people who have played the game. Maybe you've been really lucky lately.

@rallydefault It doesn't. A 3-lap course rarely appears as an option. Most of the time it's just 3 intermissions.

Shortcat did his own video on the update. He's one of the most positive YouTubers I know, so to hear him so down on it is particularly impressive. He also does a great job explaining why it's a problem, for those who maybe aren't sure.

@Shade_Koopa @Willo567 Take the time to understand the conversation before you comment, please.

Not the news I wanted to wake up to. And I was looking forward to spending more time with this game online. Nintendo has effectively ruined Mario Kart World with this update.

Kinda funny, I won my first attempt. Haven't played this mode much online though, so I only have the one win.

It's sad how no one cares about crabs anymore.

Maaahrio Kaaaht.

I read "entire Xbox Series" and thought it meant Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and current Xbox combined, which a) might not be far off, and b) speaks to Microsoft's terrible nomenclature.

I expect a wait of a year or two, but I can't see Nintendo taking any longer than that to get 3D Mario on their new console.

I like Burger Toad, Racer Rosalina, every Yoshi, and, of course, Cow. But my heart belongs to Wario.

I've had this game 2 weeks and haven't taken a single photo. Time to get at it.

@TheFatPlumber The first thing I looked for when I booted up the Switch 2 eShop was a reduction in the number of shovelware and "hentai" puzzle games. Everything else has been improved, but not this!

Game looks great. Young Pauline is adorable.

Really annoying how you have to disable smart steering whenever you start a multiplayer match. Should be off by default.

@FarewellToGibdos Larry King?

C'mon Nintendo, we need Mario Kart World.

No, but I go back and 3-star them later.

@HugoGED @RadioShadow The timer never stops running, even when you hit rewind. So while you can use this exploit to get a very good lap time, your track time ends up horrendous.

LAN PARTYYYYY!

10/10 game. But I have WWHD on Wii U, so I'll replay it there when I get the urge.

My Walmart had several in stock. I'm not too worried.

I played a lot of Fast RMX in 2017 on my Switch. This game looks pretty great.

How does it compare to the Mega Duck? And I'm jealous of whoever owns that Nomad.

Kids these days find it hard to believe, but Garfield was really great in the 80s and early 90s.

TBH I thought it sounded too ambitious when they first announced they were expanding as a publisher. Not that I've kept up with that endeavor at all. Sad news, but not surprising. Hope those affected find new work soon.

I'll visit my local Wal-Mart in the morning to see if they have any in stock. If so, then I'll decide whether to buy one or to wait.

MK7 is unexciting for a MK game but still very fun.

Is MK8 a 10/10? The absence of double items and ultra mini-turbos make it a big step down from MK8D, but that's only clear in hindsight. But the terrible battle mode does drop it to a 9 for me.

MK8D is the best in the series.

I love the Wario in his hot pink Eldorado. Bonus points for including the Shortcat combo (they knew what they were doing).

What a blowout. And the western box isn't even bad.

I've come around lately on MKWii, but it is a bit overrated. Great tracks, though.

Double Dash is basically perfect.

Ugh. Please keep any and all of those terrible Mario & Luigi characters as far away from Mario Kart as possible.

There's a part of me that believes Super Mario Kart is still the best game in the series.

Not a fan of Polygon, but I don't like Screen Rant, either, so...it's a wash? No real opinion on Giant Bomb, though.

Was hoping this was an update to let you hide these games on the eShop.

Kind of a coin toss for me.

Next time I play SMW I'll stomp on Monty Mole extra hard. Maybe then he'll take the hint.

Props to J. Slo. for the excellent letter.

Best case scenario, probably. Good thing it's clear to everyone why these price increases happened.

Game looks great. Direct was a good primer if you don't know much about the game, but a poor follow-up to the reveal two weeks ago and lacking new information.

Hoping Bob-omb Blast is in, too, but at least they included the two best modes.

Rewind is exactly what I was hoping for so I can practice the trickier shortcuts more easily. So excited.

I loved how in Double Dash!! you could dodge red shells with a mini-turbo. 'Course, you couldn't drag items in that game.

@bloody_velvet Was thinking the same thing. Can't blame the company for laying off people they no longer need, but they should give them good severance. Not holding my breath.

@YoshiAngemon "My names is Bubs. This is my regular voice."

@TrogdorTheBurninator Trogdor! My compatriot!

My first thought when they unveiled this feature was "Oh, no, what's it going to do to my framerate?" Then I saw the GameChat videos, and it was clear they was streaming at a low framerate intentionally so as not to affect the game you're playing.

Ironic how companies moved production from China to Vietnam (which was the goal) because of tariffs on China, and now they're getting smacked with massive tariffs, anyway.
