No worries, I read that through twice to see if the answer was there!

I'm guessing not since there are limitations on other modes being restricted to 2 players and the Wii U version didn't support it.

It's a shame because I'd like to do 8 player with just two Switches and two TVs.

You should be able to. It says 3-4 player splitscreen docked and up to 12 system wired lan.

I haven't played Mario Kart since the N64 days. How many people can play over the internet together from their respective homes?

12! Everybody in the race picks a course and the game selects randomly from those in standard online play, so that's why in some screenshots of the online lobby there's a 2x6 grid of race tracks. I think it's been that way since...MKWii? I don't remember if MKDS had 8 or 12 racers in it.

The three roles of APCs:
Transports.

I think DS was eight racers.

e: although multiplayer might only have been four?

I've got a VERY specific question.

Mario Kart 8 never updated its VS mode so that you could play ALL of the game's normal tracks + DLC in one massive cup. For whatever reason, they forgot to expand the cap past 32 stages.

Does anyone know if they changed this?

This was something I really wanted too and according to this video it's been up'ed to the full 48

Agreed. Firehopping, whatever other controversy surrounds it, was simply not a fun technique to perform.

If I only own the joycon that came with my switch, will I still be able to play two players on both TV and tabletop mode, or do I need to get another controller?

You can have one pair of joycon between two racers in Fast RMX so I assume you can do it MK8

And it works hilariously well.

99% sure some video from nintendo was all look 2 people 1 controller. Plus MK8 doesn't use a ton of buttons there's enough on a single con

Ah! Oh!..So tacky! I can't...look...directly at it!

According to Nick Robinson from Polygon you can't use two Joy-Cons for one player (IE with the grip) while playing wireless split-screen (meaning two+ switches, connected wirelessly, doing split screen). You have to have each player use a single Joy-Con or a Pro Controller.

That is loving dumb and I hope they change it. I was just telling my girlfriend how one of us can use the Pro Controller and the other can have the grip.

Guess I'll be ordering those tiny single joycon grips off Amazon.

I'm guessing it's a technical issue. Too many BT devices broadcasting in the space etc when it's 4 switches 16 controllers (2 players per switch, 2 controllers per player for the grip). I do wonder if it means you can have one person play on a switch in handheld by themselves and join in though.

Those look like they'd be a godsend to big-handed people like me. I'm wary though because some people in the reviews said it caused the JoyCons to wiggle when playing in handheld mode. I wonder how widespread it is.

LethalGeek

Mine "wiggle" all of 2 degrees but only if I sit there trying to make them move. I think people expect them to not move at all but they're not designed to be that tight.

Yeah my joycons wiggle on the console a bit. Nothing that feels like they'll just slide right off. I assumed it was because my girlfriend and I put the straps on upside down. It happened so soon after opening the box I wasn't sure if they always did that or we legit wore down the rail with the strap.

That will do it, no idea of these will either (I don't put the controllers in there enough).

But these feel great in the hand!

I'm not that bothered to be honest. I'm going to buy another set of Joycon come June so I can have 4 player local Mario Kart. The current one's that wiggle will be set aside as party controllers.
