The Time Trials mode is getting hit hardest with all sorts of impossible times appearing. According to Mercurys Phoenix at the Official Nintendo Magazine forums writes:
'I've only seen it on the Snowboard track - a guy with a time of 53 point something or other seconds. There are about three other people with exactly the same time. Like others have said, on the replay the guy just does one lap (excrutiatingly slowly) and then turns the opposite way just after the finish line. Then the replay doesn't stop.
Personally, I think its a bug. I've only seen it on one track and there are others with the same time.'"
For a lot of people, Mario Kart Wii was their introduction to the franchise, and what a terrific introduction they had.
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
Nintendo has provided a sales update on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and it's confirmed that the game has now outsold Mario Kart Wii.
Always remember Polygon's take on MK 8 and how it would end up being worse selling entry in franchise history. Oof. MK 8 deluxe is going to have one hell of a holiday. You know that Switch bundle is coming back.
Baffles me that they haven't made any new dlc for this, and yet they focus on the mobile game smh
I can only imagine that the Mario Kart devs have been hard at work on the follow-up to 8, hence why it got no dlc.
We can only assume that they'll show something next year if they are working on the next game. With the way Ninty has been announcing games close to their release they don't leave room for any leaked info
Its not like its the same developer. The one working on the mobile game isnt even a Nintendo developer
This is so true, i couldnt beat the world champion because the jack@ss managed to do only 2 laps, instead of 3.
it actually pissed me off.
Ah.....the joys of playing games online eh? lol That's why I'm not a fan of always playing online and I rather like playing single player games or multiplayer locally instead. Just found out Gran Turismo Prologue has the exact same problems with online cheaters in time trial mode.
They have deleted the fake time already and i guess that will have to be enough.
I just hope there ain't gonna be major glitches that can be used when racing online.
On Gt prologue ive heard if you get hit into a wall by someone then you get penalised and then theres the old wall riding malarky mentioned by leshin. Kind of defeats the point of making it a driving simulator with these flaws hope they release a patch soon
thanks you Nintendo to delete time
i just hope alot people dont do it
At least crash team racing had glitches (like jumping over certain walls that you aren't supposed to jump over) but they required great skill and you still needed to race well the rest of the time to get a good time. But it happens in most racing games, the engines need to be _very_ robust to stop this sort of thing happening.
