Mario Kart World was a test. My guess is Nintendo’s biggest hitters 3D Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, and maybe Smash will still launch at $79.99 physical / $69.99 digital alongside Switch 2 bundles that make the price more palatable.
Mario Kart World should not have been their first $80 title at all. It's not even worth it as a $60 game being that it's inferior to 8DX in nearly every aspect.
>>739331612Except in all the ways that matter, the actual gameplay, the music, the graphics, ect. It's not right to compare 8 Deluxe with several expansion pack DLC to a base game. How much does it even cost to have all that?
>>739332483the gameplay of 8DX is better since you have actual race tracks without the terrible intermission segments. You also get a better battle mode.
>>739331612I'm so sick of 8 revisionists. You didn't play it on Wii U when it first came out and had barely any content. It had years to get content updates before arriving on Switch for you secondaries. World is already better from a gameplay standpoint, and is only going to get better as it will remain a flagship game for the entire generation.
>>739332556tricking off the environments and creating your own shortcuts as a result is much much better than any single track in 8 Deluxe
>>739332632>You didn't play it on Wii U when it first came out and had barely any contentI did, actually. I even still have my physical copy somewhere. However, I did specifically say 8DX for a reason. Base Wii U 8's battle mode was ass.>>739332651Disagree but I respect that some of World's shortcuts are more mechanically interesting
>>739332720Disagree? in what way, everything in 8 Deluxe is static and predetermined, World is freeform and spontaneous. It's much much better gameplay.
>>739332850>World is freeform and spontaneous.It really isn't. Some of the race course boundaries feel arbitrary for no reason, while others have huge shortcuts.
>>739332892So you don't leave the race track, it's a race.
>>739331425just stop being brown and poor bro
