Since everyone's talking racing, I picked up Gotcha Racing 2nd on a whim and I'm actually having fun with it. It works best as a game I'm barely thinking about as I'm racing/grinding for creds since there's few things to think about once you're in a groove, and it has gacha with money you easily earn in game by racing and placing in top 3, along with their being practically no load times. It's definitely going to be one of my 'games between games' selections.

Ninja Hideaway is loving awesome, goddamn. It's interesting how both the Tour games have the course change depending in what lap you're on, and Shroom Ridge is a lot of fun for its long winding driftable turns. The only one that seems :effort: is Toad Curcuit which is even more basic than Mario Kart Stadium. New courses are fun but I'm hoping get a bit crazier as they come out

Did you download the pack in the eshop? Go to the page for the dlc and there is a download available for expansion pack members.

This is stupid, they should have directed people to the eshop if they had the expansion pass already. Or just like, not have this extra step.

Toad Circuit is the most boring of the bunch, but I do like how that glider ramp doesn't appear until laps 2/3.

I hit the 10,000 screenshot limit on my Switch the other day. Which was the same day I learned there's a limit of 1,000 screenshots that can be saved on the internal storage and 10,000 on a microcard.

Iirc you race against fake ghosts that are meant to seem like real players, but they probably force you to be online to complete the illusion.

The one place where i find it to be good is the Android tv app*

* After years of them not giving a gently caress about it, it finally got patches in ~2021

And the ios app is fine as long as you don't try to use Chromecast.

I'm kinda surprised that it's only new tracks, I was expecting some new characters and kart parts to be announced at some point as well. I know they have a lot already but still, Pauline seems a no-brainer.

The new tracks are alright. They would've looked absolutely amazing if they'd had the same amount of dev time as the base game, but it is what it is.

Nintendo will go full Ubisoft. You only stay with Mario and Luigi as playable characters, and all other characters and vehicles/parts aside from the base kart will be pay.

The battle pass will be Peach/Bowser, palette swaps, and avatars/backgrounds.

It will be glorious.

These mega-polished Switch titles like SSMU and MK8 make me wonder where the hell they can even go from here. SSBU has so many great extras, would love to see some weirdness in MK9. Like even just an item selection like green shells only, no blue shells, huge racer counts, etc.

I really do think they should just go gently caress it and actually make a new F-Zero. More racer fun while being different enough probably not to cannibalise MK8DX's continued sales too much.

They could just port GX & add online racing. We just need more F-Zero.

I’m pretty sure, having been tracking the digital sales of Mario Kart 8 since 2019, that this last e-shop sale at $40 was basically Nintendo going “we have sold every copy of this game we think we could possibly sell”

Pretty sure that was right after the DLC was announced, and probably meaning to capitalise on the impulse buyers. It sure worked on me, since I'd given my physical cart to my brother.

103M switches sold and only 43M copies of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the top selling Switch game.

How the hell do you own a Nintendo Switch and not Mario Kart at this point?

I think it is time that they brought in other Nintendo IPs, because the MK8 DLC showed that there are a lot of fun worlds that can be made into tracks. Especially the Zelda themed tracks... I want more of those

It's a bloat that plagues a lot of character based games. A lot of people will straight up refuse to buy if their favourite doesn't make the cut, so the roster always expands.

That’s frustrating, because I’m the other side of the coin. Everything I loved about Super Smash Bros is diluted to the point where I am actively repulsed by that games roster. I dumped hundreds of not thousands of hours into Smash with my pals during college/my 20s… hell I even love Solid Snake and Bayonetta! The current form of smash is completely unrecognizable to me

"A lot of people" or "a small amount of very loud people on the internet"

Like that guy who said that Mewtwo not getting confirmed for Smash on September 11th would be worse than actual 9/11 is not reflective of the average consumer

More characters means more people picking characters who are not Wario, ergo more Wario for me, a net good.
