It Doesn't Matter If Mario Kart 8 Looks The Same On The Switch As The Wii U

Forbes' Dave writes: "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is nearly upon us, marking an important moment for the young Nintendo Switch. Not only does it mark the first major release since launch, it marks Nintendo's first marquee local multiplayer game, which is especially noteworthy because local multiplayer was such a big part of this console's early marketing. Like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild before it, it's receiving rave reviews. And yet we remember that it's a port at heart, albeit one with some important new additions. Which puts us in an interesting position.

It's still a great looking game regardless.

it was nice looking on WiiU. Im expecting a leap on the Switch. The fact that its full price is total bullsh!t.
I'm skipping this one.

I don't think it being fullprice is too ridiculous. The Wii U game still costs $50 most places and the DLC is $12. As someone who owns the game and DLC for the Wii I won't be picking it up for Switch until it sees a price drop, but that doesn't mean it's a bad value. To anyone who doesn't own the game it's a great deal. Out of the ten or so people I know personally that have bought a Switch I'm the only one that even owns a Wii U, much less Mario Kart 8 on Wii U. I'm not the target audience of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and I can recognize that without throwing a huge rant about the whole ordeal. Hopefully they do drop the price before too long, though. If this still costs $40 3 years from now that'd be sad.

This gap also creates a problem for those of us that owned the WiiU version.
So now what we wait another month or two for something major to drop. Meanwhile, we stuck playing mr. shitty?
The roadmap should have been releasing two triple A titles a month or every other month. You can ask your entire fan base to re-buy what they already purchased. So far these are all the re-releases they have offered a BRAND NEW SYSTEM:
ReHASHED
Human Resource Machine
Inferno
The Binding of Issac
Mario Kart 8
Lego City

NEW TITLES
Mr. Shitty
Some new shmup
some clipping game
vox or whatever
I am Semutra
Zelda
A ton of Neo Geo games from like 20+ years ago mostly fighters and metal slug
Has-been heroes

See out of this list here the only game worth talking about is Zelda.
the rest fall into either crappy indies, old as fuq games or rehashed WiiU games.

What's their business plan here? Seems like the same old Nintendo to me.
They alone can't hold up their machines and their offerings are anaemic.

It looked great on Wii U, and looks even better now that it is in native 1080p 60 FPS.

So technically is literally does look better.
