Not a great article. Lots of leaning on emotions with little to actually say.
The whole part about no review bombing on Steam made no sense
The article reads like it was put together by an LLM then edited (poorly) by a person.
Wait a second, you mean “gamersplan.com” isn’t a reputable, well-researched paragon of journalistic integrity? I’m shocked.
This controversy is pretty much “You’re having fun in a different way from what we intended. This is not allowed so we blocked it.”.
Which is a very “Nintendo” thing to do. But hopefully they’ll change things in the future and give a “classic” option or something similar.
From a gamedev perspective it wouldn’t make sense to call what was happening “classic”. It was unintended behavior.
What would make more sense would be to make a setting to allow or disable the intermission sections of the race (they’d need to think of another name for them though because they call the wait time between races intermissions in the settings already). Allow players to keep or remove the long stretches.
What I meant by “classic” is an “official” option to stick to 3-lap tracks, which apparently have a lot of fans.
I’m sure this will die down pretty quickly like every other gamer “controversy” or “massive backlash”, but all power to the no-lifers who live for this neverending cycle of anti-game developer ragebait.
I actually really don’t mind World. It’s a different game than 8 Deluxe but honestly I was grinning like a kid when I discovered the free roam mode. I also like the track connectors. Different strokes I guess 🤷I find it pretty charming of a game! I think the open world part might also be good for different speedrunning challenges. Lastly, Nintendo sucks boooo! Be a kinder company!
Nintendo Stays Silent
Why would they say anything? We knew it would be a shitshow and people still bought it.
We knew it would be a shitshow
We who? And how did you know?
Still underpowered, same bad controllers, you dont own your games anymore, way too expensive, no games. You dont need to be a psychic to see that it was not an improvement.
I’m hyped for the future though. I bet there will be some cool Zelda and Mario games coming up. Can’t wait.
And the old games run like butter. 🤩 Especially the Zelda upgrades. Holy. Great stuff.
Holy fucking AI nothing article batman.
What type of mindless sheeple G*mer would read this article and think “Quality games journalism here”
Opens thread
You continue to disappoint me lemmites.
Nintendo must just hate consumers at this point. Why else would they do all this b.s.
Nintendo makes things for a very specific market and any spillover internationally is just a bonus. To be fair, that has worked out for them for decades now.
