You should exclusively emulate and illegally download all nintendo games and make sure to seed the torrents, it’s morally correct.

Really? How come, is World Tour different?
Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
the transitional tracks are controversial. some people like them. others hate them. i dont really care for them.
net00@lemmy.today 1 month ago
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.

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

They always could with previous consoles and Sony and MS can too

Yeah I’ve heard about that and there’s also bootlickers who Nintendo don’t know or care that they exist snitch on anybody that you know the word games, there was a go to website that I used to go to but someone snitched so I and everybody else got sick of Nintendo lol.
ur_ONLEY_freind@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
Omg, I read your comment and immediately rushed to my favorite website for that to make sure it was still up.

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.

demonstrably shitty and morally bankrupt.
But the games are so fun!
Dis32@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.

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.
altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
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.
Dis32@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Less tracks? Ooof. Knockout tour sounds good, easier said than done, I’ll have my own opinion on it soon enough 😅
TheMightyCat@ani.social 1 month ago
I honestly prefer MK8 over world, the long straight “tracks” are really boring.
Dis32@lemmy.world 1 month ago
At least you get a say in it, I don’t 😂 but I’ll take your word for it for now haha

Me, still waiting for them make a mario kart as good as double dash

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.
trashboat@midwest.social 5 weeks ago
MK Wii is where it’s at, especially modded
Dis32@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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 😂
Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
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.
Dis32@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.
accideath@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
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.

Playing 8 on my totally legit not Valve related machine is still a great experience.

Don’t worry, world sucks. Did each gp once then uninstalled it in favor of 8

Lol nice one, I’ll get it one of these days, soon.
steeznson@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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).
Dis32@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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 😅
steeznson@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
You’ve still got Metroid Prime 4 on switch to look forward to
BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
MK8 is fun but it’s more for kids. Free frown 2 player splitscreen and just role playing.
Dis32@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Kids that can nonchalantly play through a track of Rainbow Road without batting an eye, without drive assists also!

Be glad you’re not happily eating shit and smiling like nintendrones are. Fuck nintendo and their anti consumer practices.

There’s not much games on it that at the moment that I’d wanna play, except for MKWT of course but other than that 😭

MK World Tour actually sucks, all you do is drive in a straight line 90% of the time. It feels so soulless
