meanwhile real mature gamers

Yeah, it's sort of like when someone who is poor needs to buy expensive clothes and take loans for tech because they want to portray themselves as rich, while people who are actually filthy rich dress like this:

People who are actually mature and have lived a grizzled life don't have the need to pretend to be mature and can enjoy whatever hobbies they want without the fear of looking childish. 13-year olds on the other hand feel a huge need to act according to what they perceive as adult behaviour, which in their young minds is by playing GTA or gore-filled games.

Timestamped this vid. You get a full Knockout Tour run here. It's basically one long race track. 8 different tours/tracks. I think it'll be one of the big highlights for this Mario Kart. Looking forward to it.



Given if we add Rainbow Road and combine the KO Tour tracks the game has a nice line up of 38 races/tracks.

Someone just described Knockout Tour as "battle royal" and mind blown.

It's incredible. Every track flows into the next so seamlessly. must've taken a lot of time to to refine.

Yeah, if there isn't at least an option to display just the characters and then select costume separately, someone on their UX team is incredibly stupid. This CAN'T be the only way to select character/costume, I just can't believe that.

Japanese games and UI/UX... heh

Gotta say something positive about the game for once, it looks very clean, much better than 8. Art direction is solid and for a game of this scale the result is quite impressive.

The Knokout Tour looks very impressive and fun for a big party. You can really see the Mario Kart Arcade GP influence there. I assume that Bandai Namco is co-developing World with Nintendo, just like MK8, but the influence is stronger here than in 8.

This will require a NSO sub to play online?

I hope the final thing you unlock is a crazy "World Tour" mode where you race through every single track in one go. Like the full mountain race in SSX 3.

Seriously, how can they not have anything called "World Tour" in this game?

That sounds plausible now that you mention it considering how every single track seems designed to just seamlessly flow into another.

Would be a really long race though I imagine.

That looks like a ridiculous amount of fun.

well, I ordered the bundle with Mario Kart World, but I would also like to know if Nintendo will offer an update for Mario Kart 8. it would be nice to play that game in 4k too.
