Absolutly not.
This is not how the chances are made and... have never been like this (for example in DD, the chance to see the IA getting a Blue Shell is almost 0% in 50cc and gets higher in 100cc and 150cc) The RNG is now made to make more "fun" and create more "suspens"

You see, I'm keeping track of the items I get in my face. Just did a race : 2 bleue (and of course one in front of the lap so I can't get the 10 coins as i want), 2 lighting and 1 red. it's EVERY race like this. Play an older Mk. you'll see the difference.

And i've spent too much hours on every Mario Kart to make a difference on how the RNG works on each game
Right, so it sounds like there's an equal chance of getting lightning or blue shell now as opposed to a reduced chance to get those in older games. I'm still not buying that there's a greater chance to get these items compared to other items, it probably just seems that way to you.

Well don't get it, it's not really my problem moreover when it's well known for years that in Mario Kart series the way of how Blue Shell is poping is really high, and the RNG part is absolutly ridiculous since Mk:Wii.

3rd cups done, i've done my 3 Blues average. i can't wait to have every MK since SMK to DD in VC (and I hope Mk : DS) to have REALS Mario Kart.

Oh please. Let's be honest here: Mario Kart has never been a hardcore competitive game anyway. There are so many other racers out now that make MK (even the older ones) seem very casual by comparison. Just play the game and have fun, that's the whole point.

It's a lot of fun but if you go into it expecting anything other than Mario Kart 8, then you'll be disappointed. Basically, it's Mario Kart 8: Game of the Year Edition.

Online
Have played a long while on the online ranked matches and mostly what comes up are 100cc races rather than 150cc, you know what that means, extremely slow and sluggish races. Boring. I assume by 4k and up it should be automatically 150cc-only.

I didn't notice any lag while playing.

200cc Single Player Cups
I have found them much easier than when I played on my WiiU, don't think Nintendo made them noob-friendly but it sure feels different and more appealing to all, i.e., players who couldn't play 200cc very well before (myself :P).

So far, I've completed most of the cups and only two left.

Why am I doing the 200cc cups? They're fun and you get a bonus character as it turns out -- Gold Mario.

Preferred Kart
Used to love using the F1-like car (or Captain Falcon's kart) with my Mii but after playing MK8D with the new karts/bikes and characters, I've decided to use the following from now on:

Graphics
They look the same to me and that's fine, I already had played MK8D earlier this year so no big deal or surprise there. However, the framerate was improved from 59fps to 60fps so those that complained about it should be super happy Nintendo listened to them. :)

Well, so i invite you to see Time Trials and all the stuff related to this, any Mario Kart of course, and every ranks / tricks, skills, video related to this you'll see causual is not the best way to describe Mario Kart;

and how you can find fun in a game that RNG makes you stop to play every 3 seconds ?

Sonic R is more enjoyable lel

Yeah, none of that stuff suddenly makes Mario Kart any less casual, those are typical modes in racing games. The mechanics are still simple, and you can still win races even if you get knocked out of first with a blue shell 5+ times.

They're even simpler now with all the automated controls, optionally, of course.

Indeed. And that's just fine. I didn't buy with the expectation that MK8D is the Dark Souls of racers. If I want a different/tougher challenge, there's always Redout or Fast RMX. MK is just for fun and whooping your friends.

Buyers of the Wii U version should get a discount imo.
yes and no.
IF there was a way to say that you own the game then yes.
I got a free battlefield download. I got th ps3 copy and they let you upgrade to the digital ps4 copy.
The caught tho is you had to have the ps3 game in the system in order for it to work.

Now nintendo isnt setup for stuff like this.
Just think if they discounted the switch digital copy to lets say $29.99 Then you go out and find a use copy of MK wii-u for $5 or you use your friends copy.
Then nintendo just lost a lot of money.

And its funny that most people who say that they need a discount or its not fair, are people who perorder the game day one lol...

Let me say this, this is HOW MK8 should have been from the get go.

Else, might be placebo but I feel it runs a bit quicker in the water. Like there was a tiny framedrop or two when you entered it.

game seems slower to me and the steering is tighter. If your not power sliding in some places in regular 8 you would creep off the edge. in thin one i did like instant turns. i was like wtf.

there seems to be more detail. it runs smooth just not as fast. ill have to play both at the same time. to see whats what

@saiyan-lusitano i played mushroom cup offline then the first race ended being the same course thowmp ruins online lol offline was 50 so i under stand the slower speed. but i thought online was supposed to be 150 at-least in wii u it was. I never really play 200 on any version.
