Ah, that’s too bad. 😞

Increased the frequency of lap-type courses

This sounds like a good change, and perhaps a sign they are hearing the feedback. I still want a mode that is only lap type races.

Yes! I actually loved the narrator in this. “Click the undog, er, undo button.”

Yes! They really under utilized free roam, especially when you look at how big a deal they made out of it in the reveal trailer.

Agreed. I’m pretty much completely over World at this point and only play if my kid asks me to. I think it’s technically impressive and gorgeous to look at, but the tracks are so utterly boring I have little motivation to fire it up.

I’m still salty about the lack of local multiplayer free roam too, but that’s another issue entirely.

Definitely looks interesting. I probably won’t buy it on day one, but it’s a strong chance I’ll get around to playing it eventually.

I don’t think I’ve actually played a mainline DK game since the SNES days, now that I think about it.

Nice write up. I agree the build quality of the handheld itself feels good.

All the Switch 2 games I have (Breath Of The Wild Switch 2 edition, Welcome Tour, Mario Kart World) run super smooth in 4K60 mode, no complaints here.

I will say anecdotally I noticed the frame rate in MK World absolutely tanked once we went up from 2 players to 3 in local multiplayer. YMMV.

My Best Buy order says shipping tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Man that button remapping would have been nice a few months back when I was playing through the 64 Zelda games. I got used to it eventually but it was rough at the start!

Some of those co-op bonus levels are brutal too. I played through them with my kid last year and it was great.

Sadly the single player campaign has some bad glitches on the switch that can prevent progression if you get unlucky.

I’ve noticed it too, the people of Lemmy really despise Nintendo.

I went in with low expectations but managed to secure a preorder from Best Buy.

I had to laugh when I saw the way she sprints.
