The default Mii costume is awful so I'm down with alts via Amiibo. Just hope the costumes can be used online or it's all a bit pointless...

Well the site it came from says that functionality comes with a patch that goes live on November 13th. I imagine that patch includes the data and the amiibo just unlocks it.

No. It should never be Nintendo Kart. Have other characters/stages as bonuses in DLC etc., sure, but never ever ever should they change Mario Kart to be Nintendo Kart.

 

It doesn't need to be.

 

You're very averse to change when it comes to Nintendo, aren't you?

How do you know it would destroy the franchise? Aren't people playing it because it's fun rather than that the character they play as has a certain kind of hat the they see from the back of their karter's head?

 

And no, you're definitely averse to change. Because the mere suggestion of change would imply that Nintendo wasn't pretty much perfect in the first place.

For one, it'd kill track variety. Instead of getting cool new places like Sunshine Airport, all the stages will be done in order to give each character/series representation, and will most likely feature assets from those games, as seen with Smash.

 

Mario Kart is a decent franchise in itself. It has huge brand power, for one, so changing that is catastrophic. Not every game needs to suddenly become multifranchise.

Isn't the DLC pretty much Nintendo Kart? We've got Link and Animal Crossing characters + tracks from various Nintendo games, dunno what you all are arguing about.

 

I think I'm gonna get the Captain Falcon Amiibo now, I was tempted to get one for Smash Bros but I was worried it wouldn't be utilised for other games. Seeing it'll give me a costume in Mario Kart 8 just sweetens the deal.

I was referring to variety in regards to ingenuity and creativity.

 

Again, I still don't understand how you can claim in any way that you'd lose track diversity (in even a single aspect) by opening it up to any Nintendo franchise. They can can cover any Nintendo franchise they want, not just the ones that have a playable character related to them.
