drahkon Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) If I used the Labo controls, the moment I get fucked by items I'd tear the cardboard to pieces, burn everything and throw the ashes on my friends. 10/10 will buy and I don't even have a Switch. Edited August 25, 2018 by drahkon 4
Hero-of-Time Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 The online seems completely knackered on this at the moment. It's taking ages finding games online and there are communication errors all over the place. I did manage to get into a game and was voice chatting with a couple of random players. It was a nice conversation until everyone got booted out of the lobby! I'm gonna try Regional and see if I have more luck with that.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Played some regional matches without issues. I was sat talking to some guys from Spain and Finland while we were racing. Good stuff. This is how I want my online gaming. Being able to actually communicate with those I'm playing with.

I didn’t understand 97% of that video but I loved it. Never thought of the music li,e that and this was definitely worth the watch. 1

I definitely want it, I like the look of the more "serious" premium model wheel, I did just get rid of a wheel for the Xbox One... but for the Switch, I'd probably be more likely to use it. Depends on the price and if it holds up... and the size of the wheel as I'm feeling like I'm really short on space here. Then I've got to think... which games would I really use it for? Well... Virtua Racing definitely! In fact... I might have found my one reason to convince myself to get it. When I can reasonably afford it though, which probably isn't right now. 1

MindFreak Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) There is a tournament at my work on Tuesday in this. I haven't played since last year but have been playing MK Tour over the past couple of weeks. It was a bit strange coming from Tour to this as the speed difference on 150cc is quite big. And then there's the timing of Rocket Start... But finally managed to get 3 stars on all cups in 150cc today while training. It only took me what, 6 years? Last year, I got a second place in a crazy close race. The guy who beat me has left the company now so I hope to get first place this year. Edited October 27, 2019 by MindFreak
Helmsly Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 For those that missed it, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is getting 48 remade courses as paid DLC. it's included with the NSO Expansion Pass or sold separately for $24.99
Mokong Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 This has actually tempted me towards the NSO Expansion. I assume though, if I got the expansion but didn't renew it I would lose access to the DLC? Hhhmmm choices, just pay for DLC, or get expansion and play Banjo?
Glen-i Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Quite surprised they're not sweetening the deal with some extra characters. But, ah well. The courses were the selling point of the WiiU DLC, anyway.

Mario Kart Tour has a ridiculous amount of costumes that they will want to carry over here (after all, this entire DLC set is designed to salvage as much from that failed mobile project as possible!); they will most likely just announce them later on.
Ronnie Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 You can tell they were struggling for power-ups when they had to resort to "The Apples That Yoshi Eats in SMW Cup" Must admit, I kind of wish they halved the number of courses and made those look a little better. Most of them from the trailer seemed strangely basic compared to the original MK8DX tracks.Still, hyped af.

Of course they're gonna be basic looking compared to MK8's native courses lol. The (stupidly cheap) price also reflects this.

Nothing stopping them from spending time polishing them up lol Nintendo have already wasted outrageous amounts of time, money, manpower and resources on that failure of a mobile game; there's no way they can justify wasting EVEN MORE resources on this! This is a salvage port project, further asset reworking would be completely outside of the project's scope. You're getting reworked lighting/shading in the MK8 engine and that's about it. No actual major geometry or texture art asset reworking. Also keep in mind that 48 courses is literally 1.5x a brand new Mario Kart game's worth of content. That is a HELL of a lot of content you are getting here! Mario Kart Tour literally prevented Nintendo from making an original Mario Kart game for Switch, and it was a complete bomba on mobile. The opportunity cost in play here with that game is absolutely unbelievable, and Nintendo clearly realised this. Hence, this DLC had to happen; but the price also had to reflect the effort being spent on the port. Edited February 10, 2022 by Dcubed 1 1
