Mario Kart Mobile

God, why can’t they just make the game horizontals with touchscreen analog and buttons?

I’m no coder, but wouldn’t doing that would easier and somehow better?

I'm going to tell them that in the survey. I'm waiting to do it at the very end of the beta because if I submit it after having experienced it to the fullest then they may take it more seriously.

Horizontal games are shit and uncomfortable, I don’t even download apps and mobile games anymore unless they have a vertical view.

It's fun-ish. Like I don't mind playing it while waiting in a doctor's office or something but I've yet to find a mobile game I actually play when I want something to play.

It'll be very P2W (more like pay to be better) as you don't actually play with real people. I still haven't gotten Luigi though those motherfuckers.

It looks slow and simplistic as shit, what the fuck is even the point when it's just a lite version of actual mario kart?

Why, it's almost as if it's just a glorified advertisement for their actual Mario Kart game.

I was really looking forward to Mario Kart 7. I recently pucked up a 2ds XL.

Holy shit its literally Luck: The Game. Im not kidding, i used to play in Mario Kart 64 tournaments on a national level, and whilst im not as sharp now as i was 20 years ago, im still competent.

But MK7 has such minimal skill its enraging, especially online. Im convinced people cheat, 4th place constantly getting stars etc

7 was probably the best one I have played out of all the MARIO Karts, 8 is pure garbage with the only thing saving it being 200cc

After seeing the degeneracy fire emblem heroes is I got no hopes for Nintendo games on mobile.
Which is a shame because Mario Run was pretty good and a premium pay-once game

Better hope you get him because using him on Luigi's Mansion is the closest I'm able to get to the 8k with a mustache challenge. I'm still only at like 7.2k.

It's so people can play the game with their phone upright so they can hide their bingbing wahoo power level. Looks mean everything to people.

They just really want one hand controls to be an option, but they should've thought of both. I strongly, deeply doubt that they'll get far into the full release with ought a landscape mode though. As it is, if you turn on gyro, which is better for this game, the amount of tilt you need in portrait mode makes you look like a retard.

>multiple in-game currencies
>lootboxes
>playing costs "lives" which regenerate slowly, buy more to play longer
>some characters with outright better stats, buyable for money

yeah, no. It's shit.

Do you really think Nintendo will do that, put paywalls into their game?

Sadly, multiple currencies is standard.

Also standard.

Stamina is standard. This game also takes an hour to fully restore from zero. Significantly faster than many other games. That said, you only get five max.

Characters don't have stats and also can't be directly purchased. You have to roll no matter what. Different tracks have different preferred characters, yes, so if you don't have DK then you're gimped on Dino Dino Jungle, but maybe you have Rosalina, so you're at an advantage in Rainbow Road. If you're missing the preferred character, you can grind another one to increase their base score albeit slowly.

Not defending these things. Just explaining for people who still want to know about it.

>It's biggest issue is that the racers aren't real players, but you still can't pause. It needs a pause, an actual online mode, and more fucking courses.

Wait, what? I thought the races were online against other player?

It's on mobile, so yes, it'll be mobile shit.

Nintendo tried to make a legitimate mobile game in Super Mario Run. Sold a ton at the start and then fell off a cliff because, surprise, mobile games WANT to be gouged. You basically can't succeed in the market without having a horribly manipulative monetization strategy.

Nope. Just CPUs using player loadouts.

>but you still can't pause
You can press your phone's menu button to just put it in the background and it will pause. You can even continue it offline as long as you started the course online.

FUCK Luigi's Mansion
Worst god damn course in the game, even the R version is somehow way better.

Slow, shallow, uneventful, hell, you can't even leave the track. It's absolute trash.

>you can't even leave the track

Isn't that because they have training wheels on or something? 8DX had that option.

I felt the same way, UT trying to get the 8k mustache challenge on it has made me a master. Still, even having a preferred kit for a track, you need to get multiple frenzies to come close to 8k. Shit sucks.

Can we get an actual new Mario Kart any time soon?

No play CTR or the Sonic one

>8k mustache challenge
I've been trying to do that one too, it's the last one I need to fill the beta card. Of course the only mustache faggots I have are Luigi and Waluigi, which leaves me having to do it on Luigi's Mansion or Luigi's Mansion R.

It's not a nintendo developed game, it's licensed

Yeah, I don't know how I feel about these beta cards with stars having a time limit to clear. As it is, I'm to the King Boo cup, and the last five or so have score requirements that are just too damn high. I'm starting to get two star scores despite spamming frenzies and getting first place. It's brutal.

Are you playing on 150cc? Using your item tickets? I've managed to 4 or 5 star everything since the King Boo cup eventually (besides the Bowser's Castle stage since I don't have any 3 item slot characters for it), as of now I'm 2 stars away from unlocking the Metal Mario cup.

>Metal Mario
I meant Dry Bowser cup, the last one

I've been doing 100 since 150 only adds like 50 points. I'm also not using tickets because the game has given me six, and I have that mindset of never using valuable items because "what if I need it more later?"

When does it release?

For some reason the more you play 150cc the more points are added on
Right now for me I get 2889 points for a first place in 150cc
Also just use your tickets on a level you're having trouble scoring on, it's not a big deal

Aw shit, time to grind 150 then. Guess I'll try that for a while then bust out tickets if any others cause me trouble.

Apk when?

Summer for you non-beta plebs

Summer

So how many stars from getting metal Mario are you? Wish I had Rosalina. Best princess.

I'm at 288 stars right now, Metal Mario is at 350
I have Baby Rosalina at least lol
I really need fucking Bowser or Dry Bowser though so I can get a good score on Bowser's Castle, the one in King Boo Cup is the only course I only have 3 stars in, the rest are 4's and 5's.

Damn, son. Just saw there are only nine days left for metal Mario. Doubt I'll get him. I hope the second beta challenge page is reasonable though. With probably the same amount of stars, that could be another 36 right there.

I find amusing that people are complaining that a mobage is acting like a mobage as if Nintendo is the only one doing this kind of thing.

Considering that FEH and Dragalia is a thing they should already know how kusoges work.

You could always get lucky on the gacha though
I've been hoarding my emeralds until I get 45 then buying the 10 pack. That's one free gacha roll!
Also if you can maintain first place in the shell cup rankings, you'll get 30 gems in 3 days. From what I can tell they aren't real scores from other people, they just increase a little bit daily.

>portrait mode
>not landscape

For a one handed cell phone game, it works

of course there is no hope

Welcome to mobile gaming. That's literally how 99% of them work

>Premium and F2P currencies.
>Stamina
>5* can be better than other rarities.

So.... Standard Gacha stuff?
