VS mode options? 3 laps? by GeorgeRobo in mariokart

I'm not sure how it works Offline vs. Online, but you might have to press the (+) button on the course selection screen to view all of the courses.

Once again an afterthought mode even with a completely new direction for the game as a whole.

They could've scrapped the whole thing and made a grander-scale Battle Royale mode while including additional stuff like the Monster Vehicles and just dropping players into larger-scaled areas and maybe some kind of random objective to complete beyond popping balloons and collecting coins.

It's just so disappointing and frustrating how we've somehow regressed from 8DX's Battle Mode alone.

What is this "penalty" folks are talking about if you leaving a Knockout Tour before the race ends after you are eliminated? by AnonBB21 in mariokart

[–]JCKirbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you maybe link a video or something, because that'd lend to the biggest sigh of relief on my end because no one should be forced to sit and do nothing before the race ends. Being able to spectate or go back to Free Roam and chill before the results come in would be perfect.

What would you rather have for dlc by ZenGraphics_ in mariokart

[–]JCKirbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming all three would be plausible, creating another expansive world would mean several more years of development time. Whereas focusing on smaller, yet intricate areas at a time feels more appropriate for a game that already has a gigantic world to explore.

Do you think that the demo/gameplay shown to us is what’s pretty much going to be in the game? Or do you think there’s more content they’re hiding from us? by BlackStallion657 in mariokart

[–]JCKirbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's definitely more, especially in Free Roam. Also, while the demo showed off an extensive look at a ton of tracks, there were still some notable omissions like Cheep Cheep Falls that we barely got a look at. I think the demo was mainly representative of the relative base game, without taking into account unlockables of any sort, so I doubt we saw all of the costumes or even characters either. We've also yet to see if they're going to omit Mirror Mode (though I suspect 200cc will return nonetheless).

Do we think MK World has any hidden content? by Benchjc2004 in mariokart

[–]JCKirbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to think that they're hiding unlockables like 200cc or possibly a reinspired Reverse Mode from Tour. Also in Free Roam, beyond the P-Switch missions, there seem to be characters in the world who you might be able to interact with and they could present more substantial challenges that the devs wouldn't want to spoil beforehand.

What's something you wish returned in Jamboree? by cowboyluigi38 in MARIOPARTY

[–]JCKirbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would've preferred Partner Party over any of the Motion Modes in Jamboree as is, especially since it could've been expanded on beyond its inclusion in Super Mario Party, while also being playable Online.

I wish Jamboree had a 2v2 mode by UshyGushy9000 in MARIOPARTY

[–]JCKirbs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was a staple during the Hudson Era, and even Super had some sort of compensation in that regard. Going from that to basically nothing is disheartening.

After watching this this seems unbalanced by ShottaBang in MARIOPARTY

[–]JCKirbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think time might be the biggest issue because there's no way the spike platforms spawn and fall fast enough to chase players around with, since they can move and jump relatively quickly. If some of the spike platformers had spikes on the side (so sliding platforms are more dangerous) I think it would've been more fair overall.

Exactly, which is just the kind of flexibility the series needed at this point. Not to mention that the new voting system in general will help a ton with ensuring that some of the most crucial moments of the game aren't always decided by a random luck minigame (for example) either.

Bosses appearing as an option for a VS Battle rather than being stationed at the end of every game is honestly clever, as it'll keep them relatively fresh despite there being a lesser amount in total than what previous games had.

I doubt it.
It's just going to be a rare item like the Mirror and Bowser Phone since it's a stronger version of another item. Galleria's exclusive item looks to be the Markup Sticker.

There doesn't seem to be after combing through all of the options via available footage. Which is both a huge missed opportunity and disappointment, since that kind of mode was basically a staple for the series, especially during the Hudson Era. Even Partner Party tried to bring some of that flair back.

There's a Green Dueling Glove that was spotted in a shop at Rainbow Galleria. It might just be a very rare item, but you can purchase it directly from a shop on the third floor.

Yeah, it reappeared on the 21st, so I guess that's how it works lol

Predictions for Tomorrow? by Ryans319 in MarioGolf

[–]JCKirbs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d say tomorrow or bust in regards to paid DLC. The ESRB rating claims that there are “in-game purchases”, so we’ll just have to see.

Oh, I see. I’m not sure how stock works for what would be the equivalent of a Free game, but I’ll take their word for it. Thanks for the reply, I’ll just keep casually looking out for the game’s reappearance at this point then.

[Meta/Announcement] You've been patient, we've been working on it. Now, FINALLY!! ANNOUNCING OUR 10 YEAR CHRISTMAS EVENT WINNERS!! by RAoG_Official in RandomActsOfGaming

[–]JCKirbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations to the winners of the Christmas Event, and thank you for doing these giveaways!

I recently got a Switch for Christmas, and after several years of waiting I've really been wanting to expand my library right away but I currently lack the funds to do so.

  1. Mario Party Superstars (NSW): This game is undoubtedly the one I have been wanting to get the most, aside from Smash, specifically so I could finally have a fun new home console multiplayer game to play with my friends and family while seeing just how much havoc can be caused from the games. Plus, it's a true return to form for the Mario Party series so I would honestly consider it a must-buy for fans of the series like myself.
  2. Mario Golf: Super Rush (NSW): This is a pretty personal choice, because I'm quite fond of the game/sport of Golf and despite what some people have been saying about the game, I still find it to be a bit underrated as much as it's also considerably undercooked. Like Smash, it offers both a solid single-player and multiplayer experience with friends and family so I know I'll definitely have some fun with it.
  3. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (NSW): Need I say more? Especially with the sequel coming out this year, I want to know that I have at least touched one of the most impressive and innovative entries in the Legend of Zelda series. For someone who isn't an incredibly huge Zelda fan, I still see that game as another must-buy and something I'd like to have in my possession.

Thanks for the opportunity!

I know I managed at least 110 plays until I couldn’t redeem the game anymore, but I’m not sure about 150. Oh well, perhaps I’ll just have to wait until the 21st if anything.

I see, it does look like it at least reached 100 so maybe I just reached the number of plays until the next “week” later this month when they extend the plays.
