    Fuck the Switch 2

    The moment I found out you’re not actually buying the console, The console still belongs to nintendo, you’re just paying for the license to play it for a little while and it can be bricked at any time, i lost all respect for or urge to buy any nintendo products

    Do gamers have short term memory loss? How many times does nintendo need to sue 13 year olds making a unity fan game or hobbyists making emulators?

    I guess people just don’t care and won’t stand for anything, easier to be a mindless consumer rather than opting to boycott a company for being demonstrably shitty and morally bankrupt.

      There was a moment on twitter where someone was selling t shirts using an image of Mario with iced out grillz and watch, not even later someone probably mass reported the guy tagging Nintendo and then lo and behold their account was gone lmao.

    I’m pretty good in MK8. Tried MKW in a store and I hated the handling. I’m sure it’s fine, when you get used to it and find the right kart but I missed MK8‘s tightness.

    But to console you: I don’t even own a switch. Or a Wii U. Can only play MK Wii and DS at home.

      I don’t blame you, you still get to play the game at its best if not, it’s most simplest game, plus you get to see your Mii characters walking around Coconut Mall on Wii, not so much in MK8 apparently 😂

      MKW made it much more annoying to recover if you fall behind for any reason, but if you’re in first place ahead of everyone else it’s mostly the same game as always.

        You know what I hated? When you’re playing online and you red shell someone, their kart is meant to spin and their character all annoyed and whatnot and this will at least waste them 5 seconds at least but in this case no, they just spin for a bit and suddenly keep going.

          The recovery time is based on how well you’re playing. The better you play, the harder it hits (you).

      I play MK8 against my kid, and never realized that the choice of carts makes a difference. Do the tires and glider make a difference too? I always just used the Mii Mercedes.

      I rarely play it with him anymore, he prefers “Wreckfest” - which is a lot of fun too, but I find MK8 more challenging.

        The choice of character, kart and tires matter a lot actually. The choice of glider matters a little.

        If you’re somewhat good at drifting and getting stunts, maxing acceleration and handling over any other stat (which you can see in the kart selection menu, when you press + or -) is the way to go. My standard setup is yoshi + the bug car + roller tires + parachute. I think there are technically a few karts that are ever so slightly better but I‘m to vain to use them.

          I always put handling on the minimum as I feel like I don’t need it due to drifting through anything. Speed is good for long straight stretches.

            Handling males drifts way easier to control and acceleration makes boosts quicker and stronger, so you‘re essentially constantly drifting and getting boosts.

    There are still great games coming out on OG Switch. The Hundred Line and SMT: Raidou are two recent highlights.

    Honestly the Switch 2 is still a pretty bad value proposition for most people (unless you really love Donkey Kong like me).

      I gave up hope waiting for a remake of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker 😒

      I’ve never much played donkey Kong except for the original NES games many eons ago like you probably have lol but enjoy. I’ll just stick to Stardew Valley or MK8 for now 😅

    hi, mkw is objectively worse than mk8dx due to the fact it has way less tracks and way less customizability. at most you’re missing out on knockout tour, which is fun I’ll admit, but its not worth $500+ dollars.

      Yeah, I felt like I experienced everything MK World had to offer in about a week. MK8 DX is just massive. There’s so much variety.

      Less tracks? Ooof. Knockout tour sounds good, easier said than done, I’ll have my own opinion on it soon enough 😅

        the transitional tracks are controversial. some people like them. others hate them. i dont really care for them.

        basically if you like running a track 3 times, you will hate world as it turns courses 2-4 in a given cup into 1 transitional track and 1 lap instead of 3 laps in a circuit

          Oh I see! Not gonna lie I like it, it kinda reminds me back in the day playing Jak X on the PS2, they have a mix of tracks blended into 1 course for a cup. Just an example, I know there’s probably other games that used that feature lol

        I’m guessing they are referring to the lack of 3-lap races. I’m mk world you travel from one track to the next, and you just do 1 lap of the actual track at the end. The travel between tracks is an “intermission track”, and turns out people liked better just running 3 laps.
