You're really stretching it at this point, it's actually really funny seeing the mental gymnastics you're trying to pull off. Trying to claim that a Pokemon and Mario game don't play radically different from each other, or a Mario game and Zelda game don't play radically different from each other. Mario Odyssey and Pokemon Sword and Shield are about as different as it gets. What's next, The Witcher 3 and Mario Odyssey are similar games because you can roam in open environments??? What point does that even prove??? Your point about data is flawed because on the topic of MARIO, Mario Odyssey may be the best selling 3D mainline Mario game, but there are 5 other Mario games that have sold better than Odyssey and none of those 5 are open world titles, 3 2D platformers and 2 Mario Kart games. I sound like a broken record when I say this, NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE OPEN WORLD. Just because it works well for another series of games, does not mean it will automatically work for every series. You have no data. The data that is there is Mario Kart 8 DX has outsold every single Switch game and it is not even an open world game! It is hypocritical to say I need more data to conclude that it would sell worse if it were open world and then turn around and say it would sell better if it were open world while bringing up irrelevant points.

OPEN-WORLD EXPLORATION Neither are completely blameless and yes both can be used to rinse your wallet if you feel compelled to get everything. But realistically that is not the intent of amiibo nor is it how they are generally perceived as a function within the game by the general player base. Whilst the microtransations are part of a system deliberately designed to wear you down into just paying to get the core content of the game, on top of a paid battle pass on top of a full priced game. They are a core part of how the game is built and designed to be played, not a bit of fluff on top. Get behind the wheel and gear up for tons of open-world exploration and thrilling races!

The problem with one Mario Kart per console is that console generations typically last 5-8 years, but players are going to get bored long before that point. Usually for more popular IPs you'd want something about every 3-5 years. When Nintendo had separate handhelds and consoles, that wasn't an issue because they could stagger handheld and console Mario Karts to fill in the gaps but now that they have one hybrid device, the one Mario Kart per console rule is a drag on the series (doubly so when the most recent entry is a PORT and we've been playing the same entry for 10 years, which is by far the longest drought in series history). They need something to fill in the gaps, and a new style of gameplay is a great way to do that without cannibalizing the main entries. No one's going to question whether having both a 2D Mario and a 3D Mario or a 2D Metroid and a Metroid Prime would cannibalize each other because they're both very different flavors of Mario and Metroid respectively. Mario Kart needs something similar to fill in the gaps.

LEGO 2K Drive is due out on the Nintendo Switch next month and if you were planning to add a physical copy to your collection, you might want to read on. IGN gave LEGO 2K Drive an 8 out of 10 - calling it "one part The Crew 2, one part Mario Kart, and one thousand parts... LEGO Parts": I actually do believe DLC can be more fair than not, though. For those that love the game, let people buy DLC for more content, more to do. It's worth more to those players than others who will buy the smaller game and not even finish it. It's more fair that way. (Diehard fans of games they get hundreds of hours out of will often complain how much they have to pay, but, for some reason not defend those who buy it full price and only play half the game) Fixed an issue where the Player’s select button loses functionality after another player joins locally a b Towell, Justin (May 15, 2023).

We’ve arrived at the first step in the multi-title partnership between 2K and the LEGO Group and we could not be more thrilled,” said Tina Walsh, Head of LEGO GAME Marketing. “With LEGO 2K Drive, Visual Concepts and 2K have taken the LEGO games experience fans know and love and evolved it in an exciting new way, delivering a game that both existing and new LEGO audiences will want to dive into.” Additionally, this would be a very different type of open world. You don't really see a lot of open world racing games, usually it's action/adventures, platformers, and RPGs that go open world. You would interact with the world different on a kart, so it wouldn't quite feel and play the same as your average open world game. Bolt_Strike Yeah, not looking past the lootbox and mobile controls though in a game that will inevitably get shut down because it's an online service title. Hard to ignore it now that Nintendo is literally facing a lawsuit over it! 8 DX does not have an actual shop, but at least there are no microtransactions and I can play all of the courses whenever I want. Mario Kart 8 has much superior gameplay. It doesn't matter how many ramps you add to a course or the virtual numbers attached to a thing you do, Mario Kart 8 DX plays much better than Mario Kart Tour and is a better game than Mario Kart Tour.
