another Nintendo shill that forgot that MK8 is a fucking WiiU port and that Mario Kart World was planned to SW1 but canned when MK8 didnt stop selling, but you are right, it would need some tweaks here and there, but it would run just fine.

Another hater who thinks everything is conspiracy no matter the facts.

WiiU has roughly the same power as Switch there genius. And Wii U didn't sell.

NIntendo said they coudn't get MKW world running AND looking good on Switch so they shelved it. And of course who knows what they did to the game in the meantime.

And like I said... obviously...and it's true of pretty much any game, if you make it look worse and run worse and make other tradeoffs you can definitely get your game running on a lesser system.

 

[clarky]

fun fact, MK8 is a wiiU game and you been playing a port for a entire generation, Nintendo Switch is the only Nintendo console since SNES that never got an "exclusive" MK game.

In other news water is wet.

Another miserable cunt shilling for depression.

Never played Forza Horizon 5 DF?

They did 5 video tech analysis about it. I'm just sayin'

As with most Nintendo games the art and animation does the heavy lifting. Zoom in and you'll often find very low res/simple texture work etc.

But the game plays beautifully and at a rock solid 60fps, even in 2p split-screen, and even when 22 other players are throwing bombs and shells all over the place simultaneously.

The game makes me smile, not many do that.

The Wii U was a home console, the Switch is a hybrid, effectively arguably a handheld.

MK World was planned for the Switch but the devs said they would have had to compromise their vision for the game.

The Switch 2 is 8x more powerful than the Switch. Do you accept 30fps instead of 60fps, 720p instead of 1080p, lower textures and poorer assets for a platform that has seen a decline in hardware and software sales?

Not to mention, any future DLC or updates planned over the Switch 2 life cycle (likely 7 years or so) would then need to factor in the original Switch?

You can argue any single game can be stripped down and shipped on previous hardware but each console manufacturer chooses not to for their own reasons (Returnal could run on a PS4 if they'd simply reduce particle effects, lighting, textures etc).

 

[Germuso]

Look Nintendo doing 2014 visual shit, amaziiiiing!

90€ deserved

 

[JusticeForAll]

So much negativity here. I have been playing with my daughter and it's great fun. I can't imagine a better launch title for this console. Even my wife, who is not a gamer at all, joined in. That's who nintendo intended to reach, not the pixelcounters on some game forum.

Bingo + A Mario Kart game as a launch title is the best thing that Nintendo could made.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Imagine actually believing the Switch 1 couldn't have handled this.

That's all that matters. Its a great title. The soundtrack alone is worth the price of entry.

The majority of people here were expecting that DF would said that the game looks the same or worse than MK8, to shit on the game. Now the only thing they have is to say nonsense things .

[diffusionx]

It's cool to seee Nintendo revisiting some of the half-assed tracks they did in the booster course. I also like that they redid Wario Stadium which was one of my favorite tracks in MK64.

Technology wise this is a big step up from MK8 and they had to go in a different direction here and it looks like they mostly pulled it off.

 

[CloudShiner]

It must be tough for DF - they don't want to dismiss the chances of getting another suitcase of cash sometime for a 'sponsored' review. You could tell how very careful Oliver was being with his wording. Probably not a script per se, but no doubt Richard 'teeth' Leadbetter made it very clear what was required.

 

[onnextflix5]

Well they want fucking $80 for this game, I have a right to be upset.

My 3 casual gaming friends are lovin the game.
And they now want to buy the console.

Thats the people Nintendo aiming for really.

 

[SRTtoZ]

IMO MK World looks alright. Nothing to brag about, though.

Definitely the best-looking MK game ever made though

When half of NeoGAF considers DF Switch 2 haters, and the other half considers them Switch 2 shills, then perhaps the correct balance has been reached.

[Hector Hall]

1080p handheld and 1440p docked. 60fps

Seems solid.

But wich is the native one?
Because a lot of other games say 1080, 1440p or whatever but later the native one appears and it's like 590 or 680p

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

so, is DF now spreading FUD about the Switch 2, or are they Switch 2 fanboys that oversell it?

DF Derangement sydrome strikes again! no matter if they praise Switch 2 related stuff or try to tamper expectations, either way they are apparently not to be trusted.

1) The Wii U was a home console, the Switch is a hybrid, effectively arguably a handheld.

The Switch 2 is 8x more powerful than the Switch. Do you accept 30fps instead of 60fps, 720p instead of 1080p, lower textures and poorer assets 3 ) for a platform that has seen a decline in hardware and software sales?

4) Not to mention, any future DLC or updates planned over the Switch 2 life cycle (likely 7 years or so) would then need to factor in the original Switch?

5) You can argue any single game can be stripped down and shipped on previous hardware but each console manufacturer chooses not to for their own reasons (Returnal could run on a PS4 if they'd simply reduce particle effects, lighting, textures etc).

1) So ?

2) Did you remember Witcher 3 port ??? Didnt we ( Nintendo players ) just accept compromise vision of games for 8 years ??? 720p@30fps lower textures and poorer assets all this for 8 years and sudden is not good enough ???

3) the dying platform has 152mil units sold, this is at least 40mil units solds of MKW day one 100%.

4) No it wont need to factor Switch in, Nintendo fans were ok when MK8 stopped getting updates on WiiU, why would be a problem now ?

5) the only reason MKW is not on switch is because MK8 didnt slowed down in sales and fans were Ok playing a wiiU port for a full generation, also, Nintendo needed a killer app for switch launch and it seens that MKW was already half baked and Yes, i think Sony or any other game company that lock games that can run on old plataforms a bad bussiness pratice, at the end of the day you are just releasing a new plattafor cause a lot of ppl bought your old one, why not thrwe them some bones before stop support.

Thats why i dont like shills, you guys seens to forget what was happening a week ago, it was 8 years doing all this that you mentioned, 8 years, but now everything is a excuse on why said company did this or that, lets deffend the billion dolar company.

 

[SRTtoZ]

i just cant understand why this isnt on OG Switch, i know that they need a "killer app" to sell more SW2 but this is pretty much doable on the OG system if Nintendo lowered some settings and textures.

This is hilariously wrong. You think Nintendo would rather sell their brand-new Mario Kart game to only the few million people who bought the Switch 2 instead of the 150 million Switch 1 owners? Or MAYBE, just MAYBE the reason is they tried everything they could to get MKW to run on the NS1, but they would have to neuter the entire game, lower the player count. remove the open world and whatever else was necessary to get the game running on a 10-year-old handheld console rocking the very unimpressive Tegra X1 APU that was even quite average back in 2017 when it released?

[Banjo64]

1) So ?

So the implication that MK8 Deluxe is a lazy port because it's a 'Wii U' game doesn't hold weight as porting a game from a home console to a handheld is not a straight forward equation.

2) Did you remember Witcher 3 port ??? Didnt we ( Nintendo players ) just accept compromise vision of games for 8 years ??? 720p@30fps lower textures and poorer assets all this for 8 years and sudden is not good enough ???

No? If anyone used the Switch as their main platform for TW3 I'd probably say that wasn't a good idea.

3) the dying platform has 152mil units sold, this is at least 40mil units solds of MKW day one 100%.

That's obviously not the case.

4) it wasnt a problem for Nintendo fans when MK8 stopped getting updates on WiiU, why would be a problem now ?

Well there are clear difference like the Wii U only selling 15m units, the eagerness that everyone had to love on from that platform etc.

5) the only reason MKW is not on switch is because MK8 didnt slowed down in sales and fans were Ok if playing a wiiU port for a full generation, also, Nintendo needed a killer app for switch launch and it seens that MKW was already half baked and yeah, and Yes, i think Sony or any other game company that lock games that can run on old plataforms a bad bussiness pratice, at the end of the day you are just releasing a new plattafor cause a lot of ppl bought your old one, why not thrwe them some bones before stop support.

Give over.

 

[amigastar]

Yeah, no doubt about that, but i'm sure the Switch 2 is capable of better graphics. MK World came out on the beginning of the Switch 2. I mean it doesn't even use DLSS for now.

 

[Lokaum D+]

as it should, its a MK exclusive to SW2 it would be hilarious if looked worse then DD

As much as I like the game, I don't think Oliver is good at presenting it. Poor choice of review person if you ask me, most of his videos are ok at best.

These MK are the best looking ones:

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

I watched this, and it reminded me the fact that if Nintendo didn't become a mobile dev, these visuals and performance would've been a thing since... at least the early 2010s. instead, it's only in mid 2025 that they got there.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

The problem with Oliver is his speaking cadence is really dour.

 

[Topher]

He doesn't say it isn't native.

"then there's performance and image quality the image quality breakdown is fairly simple you get 1080p in portable play and 1440p in docked play with no signs of DRS in my testing in either mode tv image quality is generally fine enough in my experience holding up well on a 4K television set from a typical viewing distance docked mode also gets a touch of post-process image treatment to adjust the 1440p resolution i think we're primarily looking at a light post AA here handheld mode definitely fares a bit better though despite its lower pixel count there's no anti-aliasing of any kind here so the 1080p pixel count maps perfectly onto the 1080p Switch 2 display"

Just my opinion, but this is the way these threads should be. Just the actual title from the source without some cherry picked line that makes it look like a sponsored thread.

[MrJangles]

Some quite pathetic replies in this thread.

If you disagree with the points raised in the video why not set it out constructively?

Because they are you-know-who warriors who never played a videogame before 1995, they aren't entitled to an opinion.
