The SP was such an awesome system. The backlight was such an awesome feature. I really wanted one, but since I already got a Gamecube around that time for Christmas, I was more focused on getting games for that.

Craziest part to me is that it had insane battery life since it was also the model where they switched to an internal battery, even with the backlight you could play it all day long. Only real drawback was removing the 3.5mm jack and requiring a dongle to use headphones.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is such a crazy game. Half of the time, it's a blast. The other half, it's as if you never played the game and infuriating, or at the very least frustrating. There are the guys who master the game who can get 1st-3rd place at will. Then there's the rest battling for scraps. The worst place to be is 6th, or 7th place, it's like a death trap and guaranteed ass whooping if you make even the slightest mistake or aren't armed with good items. Even then, it might not matter and you still might get smacked

That's why the latter spots are best. Blast everyone else with items and enjoy yourself that way.

With Mario Kart World having 24 spots, I'm guessing the one mistake and you're doomed thing will be even worse. :confused:

If you're not first, you're last boi. I hate the feeling of being 12th-10th place, and 9th-5th feels just about as bad. Being 1st is tough too because you only get coins. 2nd place gets red shells. The item system in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is just unspeakably frustrating. It's like they want the games to be 50-50 no matter what so the items randomizer is set to create that outcome

I'll try to be a better competitor in Mario Kart World; race some good times in the Time Trials. Hone my skills there in that mode. That game will probably become the best MK game

The mechanics in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are absolutely phenomenal, the most fun racing I've ever played in a video game. It's the items and their assigned probability to players 1-12 that is questionable. I think a lot of the courses were designed without 200 CC in mind as well. Maybe that's not true, but some of the turns with a fast character have to be anticipated long before you actually arrive to that point and executed with near perfect precision. Skill ceiling for MK8 Deluxe is insanely high

That's good. The trauma of being shelled, falling and then being hit with a bomb will be a lot more manageable then. 😅

Yeah I agree with that. Completely. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe almost goes out of its way to destroy a player if they get hit right at the wrong tine while going off of a jump. Sometimes you'll get hit with a shell or whatever before a boost ramp and the process is this:

1) You get hit
2) You fall off the racetrack
3) Lakitu takes his sweet time
4) Lakitu drops you off way before where you got hit sometimes
5) Fast approaching opponents destroy you again before you even can get back up to speed, killing all momentum

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is pure madness like 90-95% of the races you race in at 200 CC

I remember this being particularly bad in Mario Kart Wii. I once went from being in 1st place and less than a second from the finish line to finishing near last. It went something like blue shell, then red shell, green shell out of pure multiplayer spite, another blue shell, and then I finally crossed. I was actually chattering swear words but we were all laughing so hard at the amount of grief and misfortune of that turn of events. Like, seriously, WTF Mario Kart Wii.

Get nuked boy. That happens routinely in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, just not 1st to 12th when right near it. But it is common to be in first with just a coin as an item, and then yards from the finish line you get hit and find yourself in like 5th place then cross the finish line in shame and confusion. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe takes no prisoners

What happens if we buy a game supported by Cloud on NS, can we play that same game we bought on Cloud for the NS2?

Not claiming to know, but I feel like maybe the way it runs Switch 1 games will make it so the cloud server just sees it as a Switch 1? Maybe there's some mode or emulation layer going on that'll make stuff like this just work.
 
Has anyone used an amiibo emulator? I'm curious about them because some perks in some games are fun, like getting epona in BOTW, but I don't want to collect figurines.
