    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.

      demonstrably shitty and morally bankrupt.

      But the games are so fun!

    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 😭

    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.

      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.

      MK Wii is where it’s at, especially modded

      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’m still playing the original Super Mario Kart on my UNAPPROVED HARDWARE REDACTED and doing fine.

    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).

    Going back to games on my totally_official_nintendo_hardware™ and not emulating cause that’s a suable offense for nintendo uwu

    • databoose@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

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

    MK8 is fun but it’s more for kids. Free frown 2 player splitscreen and just role playing.

    Mario kart 8 is the last game with a real gran prix

      Really? How come, is World Tour different?

      • Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

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

        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.

    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 ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

      source
    • Dis32@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

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

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

  • TheMightyCat@ani.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I honestly prefer MK8 over world, the long straight “tracks” are really boring.

      At least you get a say in it, I don’t 😂 but I’ll take your word for it for now haha

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