Mario Kart World launches a week from now. The Switch 2's launch is hingeing on this one game.

What do you think the Metacritic will be?

 

[Skyfox]

Metacritic hasn't had genuine value in years

 

[Ishma3L]

79.99

 

[Cakeboxer]

Metacritic hasn't had genuine value in years

It's entertaining, nothing more nothing less.

 

[TheMule1983]

92. The man children activists who review Nintendo games will score it very high.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Always a fucking poll

 

[Fermbiz]

Below 70%. Trash casual kids game

 

[DenchDeckard]

Oops pressed 95 by accident

 

[Hookshot]

50 because the roads are too wide and you have to drive places in a racing game

 

[HRK69]

Metacritic hasn't had genuine value in years

 

[RoboFu]

You don't have a score above 100?


But no .. it's a different time only bad news gains clicks so o doubt it will be that great of a score.

are you scared? (publishers love it and I will say... it's a better metric than internet discourse. of course the best metric is sold copies)

I will be shocked if it doesn't get 85+

 

[asdasdasdbb]

and you have to drive places in a racing game

It worked in Diddy Kong Racing...

 

[Mr Moose]

93.

 

[Shubh_C63]

I didn't knew Gaf is interested in so low stakes polls.
Its Nintendo Kart. 90+MC till year 2046.

 

[Punished Miku]

I think 85 or so. It looks good but I haven't seen a lot that really is taking advantage of the open world design. Seems like a safe, but well made MK.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Low 90s.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

85-89

 

[Oberstein]

89,99.

 

[nikos]

94-95

 

[PauloRoberto]

High 80s ~ Low 90s, with 3 to 5 reviews with a VERY different scores (low 70s to 'high 110') to bring traffic.

 

[deriks]

I think Mario Kart on Switch won't be surpassed ever, but I hope it does

Same thing with Smash Bros

 

[Portugeezer]

85-90

I'm not convinced by the open world aspect, yet.

 

[Robb]

I'll guess 90-94. Definitely looks to be one of the best installments in the entire franchise.

For reference;

Mario Kart Tour – 60
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit – 75
Mario Kart Wii – 82
Mario Kart 64 – 83
Mario Kart 7 – 85
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! – 87
Mario Kart 8 – 88
Mario Kart DS – 91
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 92
Mario Kart: Super Circuit – 93

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Don't care....

...about MetaCritic.

So no guess from me.

 

[crackajack]

open world makes practically every game worse, but too many players and critics seem to like pointless time wasting content because it adds playtime and thus "value", so its score will be higher than the last one.

 

[Exede]

Who clicked below 70?

 

[Zephyranthes]

It's Mario Kart, and this one's been cooking for longer than usual. It'll review very well.

 

[LordOcidax]

89

[vaibhavpisal]

Its a high stakes title for Nintendo.

Which means extremely high scores and hype from critics.

After Mario Kart 64, the next Kart I really bothered with (aside from dabbling a little on GBA) was Mario Kart 8. It was the first time the upgrade from 64 was meaningful enough for me to come back. That's right, I skipped DS, Gamecube and Wii entirely. I mean sure I played at friends a bit, I wasn't completely lost on what the games were, but felt no need to buy them.

If I think Mario Kart World looks good enough to make me excited for launch, there must be something right with it. If it doesn't end up that great, I won't be pulling any punches.

Nintendo is going to put to work those 12 billion in cash.

God forbid a company make games that appeal to all ages. Maybe there should be a lesbian sex scene between Peach and Rosalina bent over a kart. Would that be better for you?

 

[Lokaum D+]

its a Nintendo game, so 85 to 95

This 100% mirrors my experience, though in retrospect I regret skipping Mario Kart Wii since its reputation has grown so much over time.

Still, even with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, I mostly bought it just to have a second game to play with my Switch (which I bought primarily for Breath of the Wild). This is the first time that Mario Kart has ever sold me on a platform.

As far as review scores are concerned, I don't know, probably low to mid 90s.

 

[Synless]

90-94 easily because it's trying something new.

 

[mèx]

85-89.

The standard tracks and gameplay improvements will be awesome.

The open world is going to be middling at best.

 

[Walter Matthau]

I think 87. I think some outlets will focus too much on the new modes and content instead of the full package.

God forbid a company make games that appeal to all ages. Maybe there should be a lesbian sex scene between Peach and Rosalina bent over a kart. Would that be better for you?

They post the same immature thing in every Switch thread. They're just a sad 42 year old seeking negative attention for some weird reason.

 

[GigaBowser]

best mario kart EASY buuuuuuut some screeming lib shills clickbait annnnnnnd farmboys talk about bout price and make stuffs up.

8 something bookmarked known for perdiction

 

[KU_]

91%

 

[hemo memo]

Open world, but you can't get out of the car. 7.5

 

[Fbh]

Low 90s.
Games media loves Nintendo and this one will be boosted not only by the "honeymoon phase" of the game itself, but the new console too.

 

[darrylgorn]

This game will be highly lauded with 95-97 range scores.

 

[Danjin44]

It makes zero difference to me…..its Mario Kart it gonna be fun no matter what.

 

[MMaRsu]

Mediocre

 

[GigaBowser]

83 metactic rage baits

 

[EverydayBeast]

Mario kart 8 is the highest rated console Mario kart game to me my guess is between 90-95, game cube/wii Mario karts were the worst according to metacritic

I loved the Game Cube Mario Kart. It was one of the best to me.
It layed the foundation for future Mario Karts.
