Red shells follow you in the air now?

That sounds like such BS lol

I wish Nintendo gave rewards for playing online. So you have even more reason to keep playing. Like at 2000, 5000, 10000 rating you get something cool.

Why doesnt Nintendo do that?

 

[Ninja Dom]

Auto acceleration is a god send for my thumb, makes it much easier to brake and look backwards too.

Brake, you say?

b/c Nintendo fans don't ask for much

they're okay with these simple ass experiences

 

[Ninja Dom]

Do other players hear the horn when someone beeps it online?

 

[jamesmccloud]

Considering there have been people playing in those tournaments for the past 24 hours, yes, you're doing something wrong

I deducted as much. Gotta keep punching those codes in and hope something changes.

 

[ryushe]

Why specifically other regions? It isn't any different from the region you're on

No, but it'll be near impossible to contact, say, Nintendo of Japan to get back my purchases.

 

[Milly Osworth]

Well its a simple trick to keep people hooked and to keep people playing. You see it in all online games.

Nintendo, add rewards that give some bragging rights!!!

Oooh. I didn't think about that. Yeah, that's pretty worrying

They did in 7. The way you unlocked the gold kart in that game was to reach 10,000 VR.

A "simple ass experience" is bad...? I mean, my incentive to play online is to... play. I don't need a reward for everything I do.

Nope

Yeah and it sucked. The current system is better since you can get it by playing offline too

 

[Theswweet]

Guys. You can change the account region to your home region online... if you're worried about getting a new Switch, you can just do that.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Nope

Booooo

 

[Milly Osworth]

Hmmm. Weird they left it out this time then 😦

 

[tiijj]

Not quite like those platforms. On those you can deactivate through a website, no need to have your console on hand. With the Switch, if your console is stolen or breaks down the only way to get your purchases back is to call Nintendo so they can deactivate them from that console. Very similar to 3DS/Wii U in this scenario. Also why I would not recommend buying a console from outside of your home region.

Hopefully when Nintendo launches the whole paid online thing, they'll be able to sort this thing out. Like being able to deactivate your primary hardware through whatever app they are going to release which should be the same app that they wanna release their voice chat or the parental control app that they have right now.

Why specifically other regions? It isn't any different from the region you're on

Could be the price. You can get MK8D for ¥5,812 (from amazon jp) which is around CAD$71-72 for everything. Normally it retails for $79.99+tax (~$90.38 in Toronto), the JP one's almost $20 cheaper.

 

[Footos22]

Just got my daughter a switch, Lego city and this. It's so good.

 

[-Mutsukki-]

I don't think that would solve it, you'd still have made the purchase on a different eShop than your region.

Then again, when my Wii U broke they restored both my NA account AND my Canadian account, so who knows

 

[jamesmccloud]

Okay, tried over twenty times now with the codes to all tournaments from the OP - none work. I can create and join other tournaments fine. What am I doing wrong??

Edit. Just says "Unable to find a tournament with the number you entered" to all of them, every time.

 

[Theswweet]

That doesn't matter, the purchase is still tied to your account. If the question is about whether or not you can recover that purchase when you get a new Switch, all you'd need to do is change the region, call up support, then change it back.

 

[Exentryk]

Brake, you say?

Never played 200cc?

Do other players hear the horn when someone beeps it online?

They don't.

 

[Putosaure]

Unlocking parts by playing online is terrible. Managed to grab 200 coins last night, and now everything unlocks one part at a time.

"You collected 40 coins ! New part available" prompt. Go check new part. Go back.
"You collected 70 coins ! New part available" prompt. Go check new part. Go back.
"You collected 100 coins ! New part available" prompt. Go check new part. Go back.
...

Yeah I'm surprised they didn't adress this in Deluxe...

 

[hEist]

gaf room is always empty when I join :/

 

[Kurt]

The hd rumble is even better when playing it with the pro controller

 

[jamesmccloud]

gaf room is always empty when I join :/

Same here, I just got in after dozens of times. Now empty!

 

[Veldin]

Yeah, the GAF tournaments are broke as fuck for me now. Can't connect to anything but an empty room. I dunno what happened because I was able to connect to them earlier today.

 

[jamesmccloud]

How do you delete tournaments you've created yourself?

Might not be the case here, but when a room is full any extra people joining are sent to a second room and so on

 

[Robin64]

You can only delete them during that period of time when they aren't running, whatever you set that to.

 

[21st century cowboy]

I started the game last night. Even though I have played 115 hours of Zelda and the majority of that has been on handheld mode, the graphics have absolutely floored me with this game. I can't believe I'm playing a game that looks this good on a handheld. Massive props to Nintendo .

 

[ryushe]

Hope I'm never in this position, but this is good to know. Thanks.

 

[Zampano]

Holy fuck this is a dangerous game to play in portable mode. The rage is real when you go from 1st to 6th on the last straight from a blue, two reds and a green. Nearly threw it across the room.

Oh no.

It didn't dawn on me, but we're going to see a lot of pictures of broken Switches very very soon...

 

[MouldyK]

I just can't get 4 wins on 150cc haha.

Every time a Shell or something comes out of nowhere!

I love it!

EDIT: Actually, I think Tilt Controls are ruining me...but I love them too much to quit.

Is there a way to control better with Tilt Controls? I use ATVs, but they seem weird turning this time round.

EDIT 2: Actually, I think Monster Wheels just can't turn good enough for me. Need to try others.

Have you paused to see if Smart Steering is on? I thought my controls were broken, then I realized that it seemed to be on by default (or I accidentally enabled it in kart customize). Try checking that, and if it's on, turn it off.

 

[madmackem]

So is smart steering on by default online also?.

 

[Neiteio]

Some screens I took. Check out how nice and shiny Boo looks when wet! Also note the sand on the wheels in the first pic. :-O

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Streaming again if people want to have a little watch

 

[taoofjord]

Keep getting communication errors when joining an online game. Haven't been able to get into one yet I tried changing the DNS to 008.008.008.008 but that didn't fix it. Any ideas?

Edit: NM, switching off my 5GHZ connection fixed it.

 

[MouldyK]

Lol, who thought Red Shells being able to hit you while you are in Mid-Air was a good idea?

 

[OnionPowder]

My wife has been in labor for almost 24 hours now and the switch plus MK8D has been a godsend.

 

[Branduil]

So what is 200cc supposed to actually do because it feels like it just fucks up the controls in an unbelievably annoying way.

 

[LaNaranja]

Played a bit today. I'm kinda really bummed I have to unlock everything again. I wish there was a way to transfer my save from the Wii U and let me start with all my golden stuff. Getting 10,000 coins again is gonna take forever. :/

 

[deoee]

Is there any way to invite multiple friends and fill up the rest of the slots with other players?

 

[JosephManderley]

Turned on my Switch last night for a Zelda session, and as always I checked my friends list. 8 friends online, all 8 playing Mario Kart! Must be selling like hot cakes! Also was the first time since launch I checked my friends and nobody was playing Zelda!

 

[Chronospherics]

It's just faster.

 

[Verder]

MAH BOI DRY BONES BACK?

oh god imma buy this rn

 

[Charamiwa]

Getting 3 stars in 200cc GP is devilish. I spent 2 hours getting destroyed in Shy Guy Falls.

Good thing is it forces you to learn and master the track, which is good practice for online later.

 

[Branduil]

It's just faster.

How the fuck are you supposed to fucking drift in this mode without crashing into the motherfucking walls continuously

 

[Macapala]

So what is 200cc supposed to actually do because it feels like it just fucks up the controls in an unbelievably annoying way.

You have to practice using the brakes while drifting. Once you get the hang of it it makes 200cc much easier.

A good track to practice on is Mario Circuit from the Shell Cup.
