Review: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

I love that competitive side of MK. I've not heavily played multiplayer since MK64, so playing this online is bringing back some amazing memories!!

Tried joining Marzy earlier and it kept telling me I couldn't join because that device could not receive any more connections... What is that nonsense?

EDIT: Oh yeah, with this game, I tried for the first time earlier tonight playing with just the single JoyCon against my bro and another friend (separately, cause the two included JoyCon are my only controller options at this point in time). I used for the first time the JoyCon wrist straps with them, so as to improve the feeling inside the hands, and it did improve things a little bit, though I had a stressful moment when it came to remove the blasted things off the JoyCon. It wasn't the easiest thing in the world to achieve.

Anyway, it didn't control too bad with just a JoyCon held sideways, all things considered. But I really plan on getting a Pro Controller down the line if I am to play this game seriously. The tiny Joystick isn't my favourite way to play this. I'll just regret not being able to play this game on Switch with my Club Nintendo SNES controller (that plugs into a Wiimote) cause that was my de facto favourite method of input , but I understand all the same that Wiimote had to go at some point.

Did Marzy already have a lot of people connected to him? I think one system has a limit to how many others can connect to it...perhaps?

As for the controllers, the thing I found with MK8D and the Joy-Con is how uncomfortable the face buttons are compared to the Pro Controller's bigger buttons. The stick wasn't a problem for me. Motion controls are pretty cool, though. Better than in Zelda's gyro-platform thingies in some Shrines.

I have heard a few of my friends complaining about this too. I sense a patch incoming for this though.

We should get a game going at one point. What time is everyone normally online??

Still busy unlocking the kart parts that I like right now, though I let smart steering do that for me on its own while I play Fire Emblem lol .

...Remember when we used to comment on reviews?

...remember when I used to actually *write* reviews?

Hahah! Plenty of games on that list to play through
