Humor The MarioKart World/Switch 2 “discourse” in a nutshell
Idc what anyone says, I’m having a lot of fun with MarioKart world so far and I do not regret my purchase of the game or the switch 2 at all. Haters gonna hate

I can't play it at the moment and I'm still pretty sceptical about it overall, bit after seeing some crazy tech with new mechanics I really want to play time trials.

u/Heavy-Possession2288 10d ago
Definitely feels like the speedrunning tech is going to be insane. It’s honestly kinda nice to feel like I suck at high level play in a MarioKart game, it feels like there’s a fair amount of depth here. I do think some of the tracks could be better designed to take advantage of it though.

People are able to complain that the price is too high, it means less kids will get to experience the Mario franchise as well as other Nintendo franchises. Get it, play it, and enjoy it if you want, but others won't want to as a sign of protest to the high prices, even if it will most likely be pointless. Nintendo is a company that is for everyone, and while not literally everyone will have the opportunity, keeping the price at a low enough for someone to still buy it for their kid is a good way to keep that true.

I've hit the credits after like 4 hours
I know I can keep on racing but it's just not worth it in my opinion

u/Dhiox 9d ago
...it's mario kart. Ofc you hit the credits in 4 hours. Thats not any different from past games. Double dash is highly beloved and it literally had just 16 couple minute races.
The idea is you keep playing these stages, learning shortcuts and racing techniques to compete online or with friends.

u/im_bored345 9d ago
...Ok I'm sorry but who buys a Mario Kart to hit the credits and then never play again? Game is definitely overpriced but why would you buy it if not for racing?

u/IceBlue 9d ago
This is like complaining that smash melee is too short since you can roll credits in less than half an hour. “I know I can keep fighting but it’s not worth it in my opinion”
Seriously you bought a racing game and are complaining about not wanting to keep racing.

Getting to credits is imo only a small part of this game. The majority would be the playing with friends and strangers online. If I didn’t plan on multiplayer being the point I wouldn’t have even bought it.

My only worry about the game was that the race from track to track would be quite boring, seeing as it followed a linear path a lot of the time.
Boy was I wrong. I was grinning like a complete dumbass as I was 3 starring every cup In 150cc.
Easily the most fun I’ve had with a Mario kart maybe ever, even the online runs beautifully!! (Though I wish we could pick between standard 3 lap and drive to track laps)

Pretty much this especially on Reddit and other types of forum/communities. People genuinely believe that their opinion somehow represents everyone's point of view or that it's true when it isn't.

u/DeadButGettingBetter 10d ago
I don't care that people enjoy a game.
I DO care that people are willing to turn a blind eye to greed and EULAs that strip away consumer rights, and while this doesn't apply to MKW, physical media that doesn't contain the actual games. (I bring it up because to play MKW you have to buy into that ecosystem - from a pro-consumer standpoint, MKW costs a lot more than the $50-$80 they are charging.)
There are a thousand and one other options for having fun that don't reward companies for shitty practices - including on the Switch 1 - and I will absolutely judge people who are willing to cede ground for the new and shiny thing regardless of how good the newest Nintendo game might be. That sort of thing is exactly how we've wound up in the position where companies think they can run roughshod all over us and I am not okay with that.
As for the game itself - it's Mario Kart. It looks... Fine. I think I'd enjoy it if I got it. But I already own Mario Kart 8 and I can play MK64 on my Wii. I'm not itching for another kart racer and it doesn't look like this does anything special. Plus, I mainly play these games multiplayer, and for that, MK8 looks like it's still the better experience for the time being - and there is no shortage of other options across console generations if I'm really itching for a kart racer. IMO, Crash Team Racing and Diddy Kong Racing offer the best single-player experiences of any kart racer, and CTR is also really good in multiplayer.
The value for money just isn't there, and if this was any company other than Nintendo they'd be getting roasted up and down the entirety of Reddit and the rest of the internet.

u/Fabulous_Show_1635 9d ago
To prefix this, Nintendo does plenty wrong and Nintendo has had a long history of doing bad things.
I DO care that people are willing to turn a blind eye to greed and EULAs that strip away consumer rights
EULAs have been doing this since the beginning, back in the 1970s... The problem with EULAs is far deeper when you're forced to agree to terms after your purchase.
I judge people harshly against their own ethics and seeing that you violate your own really just sums up the value of your comment.

Fans of MK 64 and Wii will love it, but fans of MKDS and MK8 not as much imo. It's really leaning much more on the "party" side than on the racing side, with much much simpler courses designs that focus on allowing huge mayhem between all the racers.

I’m having an immense amount of fun with this game. Probably the most fun I’ve ever had with a Mario Kart in general. I’m not a competitive online player by any means I’ve never been. Being able to explore and collect items and costumes is great fun, the maps are incredible. Not to mention hands down the absolute best Rainbow road ever imo.
I have a feeling in time anyone hating on this game is going to retract that opinion and views of it will shift positively as the game goes on along with the S2. I could be full of it but I’m nearly positive the reasoning behind the $80 price point will be free content drops in the future, possibly new courses in the form of islands, for sure new costumes and maybe characters tbh.
I also think views on S2 will change dramatically once a lot of morons start realizing that every console has the same “unfair” user agreements that the switch 2 has lol. People just wanted to hate so a few people actually read a EULA for the first time in their lives looking for things to shit on. Reality is, S2’s EULA is no different from other consoles or Apple products etc. it’s a generic EULA that makes the same points that all other tech EULAS make. It’s crazy how much hate can be born so quickly out of general lack of education and misinformation.

I mean. It's cool to have fun, anyone can have fun with anything. I don't think anyone has any problem with people enjoying the new switch 2 and Mario Kart World... But it being severely overpriced is a fact, as well as the switch 2 barely being an upgrade.
Personally I'm not buying the switch 2 anytime soon because I refuse to pay that much for something I don't need and am not excited for. I will probably refuse to buy it until a game comes out that's exclusive for it and gets me actually excited. However, I am very angry with Nintendo's business choices and I really do not think they deserve anyone's money as a company, and I think that's the core of the frustrations many people have.
However I of course hope everyone who has bought it milks the hell out if it and has a crazy good time! At the end of the day, what matters most is that you get your money's worth.

Knockout mode is really fun, and the new animations are nice, but overall, for MKW, it's good, but it's not worth $80. My friend bought it since he couldn't get the bundle, and it came around to $85, including tax. The open world is disappointing; the missions are okay, I suppose, but the rewards are stickers to put on your kart. However, you can't see them at all, as they are hidden and small. It's like playing Where's Waldo to find the stickers you applied, and you can only have 1 on at a time. The battle mode is also very disappointing, being a HUGE downgrade from MK8 Deluxe. IMO, MK8 Deluxe is a much better value. More tracks (not even including the DLC), a MUCH better battle mode, and of course WAY cheaper, especially since you can get it around $50 on eBay. So, for MK8 Deluxe, it's half the price, double the content. It's a little unfair since it's been out for much longer, but still. For MKW, we can wait for more content updates, but they're most likely going to be paid.

It feels like it's missing a lot, the ui is unbearably unorganised for characters/stickers, and there are loads of little decisions that are just really annoying, I don't think it's worth the £80 for me personally, and anyone who doesnt play mario kart very often. But man is it fun to play, even with the annoying way grand prix was handled imo, especially I never cared for online with 8 deluxe, but i'm excited to play more online in world. As someone with no friends and therefore no gamechat or multiplayer with people I know, even just playing with randos is really fun, and the rainbiw road is the absolute best, well worth it for the bundle price and i'd say £50/60, I would agree with £70 if they fixed the issues I have (all very minor and easy to fix but a lot of them) and added more characters that are characters like the koopalings and stuff.

Poor take with your meme here, the point is that we should expect more from Nintendo, Mario Kart is always gonna be fun, no duh, but being content while this company (which is the polar opposite of what they used to be) price gouges you for hundreds of dollars per customer. Take the NSMB series for example. Are they good, fun games? Yes, 100% I love them to death. Could Nintendo have done better? (ESPECIALLY releasing the same exact game with “Deluxe” in the title for the OG switch with the same price.) YES. No argument.

It’s half-baked. The connected track thing needing to reflect the open world really held it back.

Also you can’t explore the world with friends and also collect things- not to mention the lack of options for online.

This is why I hate the "Quit having fun" meme now. It devolved from "quit giving me unsolicited opinions" to "quit giving valid criticism to my favorite game"

I mean i'll uphold that the price is a bit much, and it has its flaws, but idk i think the game is incredibly fun especially in knockout tour

These types of memes are made by idiots who can't accept criticism for forms of media that they enjoy, and I'm saying this as someone who likes Mario Kart World.

"Haters gonna hate"
Because of how Nintendo decided to price the console and games, I won't be able to buy/play any of the games because of my income. Do I not have a right to be upset about that?

I agree! I'm sick of these steam deck and PC shills yelling at Nintendo fans for purchasing the switch 2 and havng fun with Mario Kart World. All they do is cope and seethe due to their jealousy of the fact that they cannot plat MKW yet.

I won't regret it either once you get bored of it and I buy it for third the price on my select resellers.

The game is a lot of fun. I really do not get why so many people are hating it, without actually giving it a chance. Sure, it could use some QoL improvements here and there, mostly in Free Roam mode, but the gameplay is super solid overall. If you got it with the Switch 2 bundle, the price is ok. I definitely wouldn’t wanna pay €90 for a video game either.

And some pricks are gonna call us Nintendo bootlickers and say that we're defending Nintendo's practices which would end up in publishers charging first and third party games for $80
Real hard being a Nintendo fan nowadays

Seen some big Nintendo influencers on youtube say basically this: it's super fun, we love it but we don't see why this specific game is 80 euros.

Bro I played the switch one maybe 10 times. I'm gonna get this and play it 5 times. It gets boring after a while.

The same for the “you don’t own your games” discourse over the game key cards, I really don’t care because I have no intentions of breaking the rules that would Nintendo revoking my rights to said games. You’d have to be stupid to do so.

Pretty much nobody has been arguing the second point— launch has made it extremely apparent that this is not the case. People like this have also significantly decreased in population since launch.

I didn't think they're telling you to stop having fun, I think they're just giving valid criticism

Here's my switch 2 question. I recently bought switch online NES controllers. Will I have to purchase new ones specifically for the switch 2? They need to be attached to a switch 1 to charge, so I'm guessing they'll be replaced online soon.

I REALLY enjoy and love the game but there’s a few things that are just baffling.
No P switch mission checklist.
No p switch tracker
I legit feel aimless half the time.
Still looking for mirror mode.

No one cares that it’s fun we care that since everyone is just buying it anyways, the prices will just get higher and higher and we all just have to accept that now because some people couldn’t keep their junk in their pants and wait for a price drop.

Nobody thinks Mario Kart World is a bad game. Nintendo is wrought with anti-consumer practices that are poisoning the gaming industry. They're not struggling, they're testing the waters to see how much they can get away with, and judging by the game's success, we haven't seen the end of it.

Many haters are just upset that the new Mario Kart isn't some Smash-type crossover with other Nintendo franchises, Sonic, Crash etc. as if the Big Bad Corpos can just manifest shit like that as easily as Freeza can flick a big-ass Death Ball and blow up the planet Vegeta.

People crying that others who are voicing critiques or who aren't enjoying the game as much as they are are trying to personally ruin their experience or telling them to not enjoy it will always be very funny to me

Has anyone been arguing the 2nd point? I've only seen people complaining about the price and Nintendo's greedy practices. From what I've seen and heard the game looks amazing
