Yeah, I read a few comments saying the open world is dead and that's the thing that intrigued me the most tbh
Don't really care about MK like that, but an open world one sounded interesting
I guess for the fans, it's gonna be good

After the videos I don't think it's "dead" like some people are saying it... some of them just expected way too much. It feels like you can still do enough with the P Switch missions and driving around.

People expected some groundbreaking s*** with a huge story mode or something but I knew from the beginning this isn't going to happen since they're saying it's a Free Roam mode. They don't even say it's open world. Nintendo fans are weird anyway tbh the game will just be fine

Open world always sounded boring to me tbh

just desperate for a new Mario kart with a new feel

24 players bout to go crazy

Mario Kart Wild areas

All open world racing games are dead

The purpose of a racing game is to race, if people wanna explore an open road go drive their own car. The concept in itself in a racing game I've always found kinda silly because all I wanna do is race other players ultimately

No s*** sherlock

Free Roam isn't the main game anyway but I still think some Nintendo stans are being overdramatic. Mario Kart 8 had way less lol

I think the idea of Free Roam was always to drive around for 5-10 minutes and then doing Grand Prix and Knockout. Nothing more. They said yesterday it's not a open world anyway

The online is going to be POPPING for years. I know I'm about to not play anything else for a few weeks.

OP are u into playing this online with ktt2 folks? i ask because i have the ktt2 league thread from the MK8D era but i can let that thread die and we can use this thread if u are willing to update the thread title with race times and stuff

is this s*** out yet?

i need to hit a parlay!

Why does the title say Friday?
Isn’t this supposed to come out tomorrow?

yea the nintendo switch two drops on thursday june 5th

Been mostly blackout. I'm so ready to f*** yall up.

24 players

Still peeved they brought the coins back but the items and red shells don't seem as obnoxious in this game so far.

How does joining standard races online work? Seems to take a while to join a race idk if it’s day one server issues or what

These 150cc cpus f***ing me up. they keep winning!!

Is there really no 200cc mode? I hope they add one later.

I wonder what the "meta" will be. In 8, it was basically high acceleration, but you dont even choose your tires in this game.

EXTREMELY out if that’s the case smh

Yea i don't have one unlocked right now. No mention of it from anyone. 200cc wasn't at launch for 8 so hopefully....

Sucks though cuz I loved the chaotic speed of it and these tracks are begging or it.

I got silver on the banana cup, I feel like such a scrub

They confirmed 200c isnt present in the game atm and that they're considering adding it in an update in the future. I think they will, but its gonna take a while

Just unlocked Rainbow Cup

What kinda tricks can you do in this game holy s***
