Is this still considered a bad roster?

No, it suddenly became a good one while no one was looking.

What kind of fucking question is that, OP? Fuck you and fuck off.

Why didn't they add Diddy Kong?

There's 5 Marios. Take a guess.

Eh. It could be better.

They had options.

We don't know if MK9 will be on Switch anyway. They could just release DLC for MK8D and call it a day.

It still fucking triggers me every time I see it, so I'm going to go with yes.

Dry bones and boo were great additions, but that would never undo the fucking bloat that the babies, koopalings, and alternate Mario's cause.

However I do blame the roster entirely on wiiu-era Nintendo. Deluxe is already fixing almost every problem 8 had thanks to them, but obviously you couldn't remove characters without upsetting people. 9 is definitely going to be better

>>376416549
It's alright, but in my opinion we don't need like 5 marios, 4 peaches, and the baby variants when they're so many other character's in mario's universe to choose from.

Wii-U was easily the WORST time for Nintendo. Hardware, games, public image, literally everything was the worst for them it had ever been. Luckily the switch seems to be going in the exact opposite direction

>>376419056
Getting a double item box guarantees you at least one defensive item even if you're in first and miles ahead. Infinitely better than vanilla MK8 where you had to pray not to get a coin.

Gold Mario. He's a reskin of fucking Metal Mario but with different stats.

Didn't say it wasn't flawed, but a lot of people hoped for KAR2 or Kirby in MK8 after such a montage.

But really, why would Nintendo go and do something fun or good these days? There's too much cost in that.

>>376416549
I didn't consider it bad in vanilla. The only stupid choices are the princess babies. Koopalings are fine and PGP is just hilarious. I'll take that over Honey Queen.

I would like to think that each console should get it's own unique Mario Kart, but with how successful the Switch version is, I can see Nintendo just calling it a day. Deluxe is what the game should have been from day one.

>>376419993
Super Mario Odyssey is the only indicator of that. And even that's weakened by a nice, loud, ear-destroying MARIOOOOOOOO

IF, BIG FUCKING IF, the Zelda team comes back from their BotW experiment and gives it a true LoZ story and thematics around a Hyrule Field that uses the best elements of BotW, plays like Zelda 1 was supposed to, like LttP ALMOST pulled off, then yes I'd say Nintendo has got it.

i feel like botw is pretty damn good for a zelda game. it doesn't really align with what most zelda games are but there's only improvement from here. the main reason botw really blew me away(since i honestly don't actually care much for the gameplay) was because i never imagined nintendo could step so far outside the box. they just need to pick out what pieces work and what pieces don't.

That's not how rosters work. They aren't limited to the space that's there. They could have had them as separate spaces and just made the icons smaller to fit more. Making them alts on other characters doesn't suddenly give them more reign to add something else.

Pure bloat.

Honestly I wouldn't mind if we got 2 or 3 of them, but having an entire row of like-characters is distracting, ugly, and takes away from other characters. Especially considering quite a few of them don't share animations. It's a waste of dev time when the effort could have gone toward diversifying the roster a bit. You don't think koopalings taking up an entire 6th of the roster isn't a bit much?

Granted, I know -exactly- the sense of linearity and dread that Aonuma is talking about when he refers to the Zelda formula. I contend that previous entries had less of this problem using simple-layout dungeons, an overworld with enemies, and refreshing side quests plus exploration that weren't overwhelming, but it is what it is.

Picking out the best pieces and parts is going to be a challenge for Nintendo, when "best" is subjective.

There's no doubt that the traditional formula should feel more like a challenge (though perhaps not in the form of ragdoll Souls-shit, doesn't fit Link/LoZ), but there's still the matter of refining the formula.

The mass market doesn't even bother with story. They can barely handle 3D gameplay.
People pay attention to the speedrunning - do you focus on that?
Do you make the bosses more challenging?
Should there be a focus on replay value? Or destroy it entirely in favor of the completionism compulsion (see: Fallout, Elder Scrolls)? Strong case for that.
Low budget cel-shaded graphics, or make one like this?

That's the gigantic challenge that faces Nintendo currently. And this time, they don't have Club Nintendo surveys to help them, so I expect that the next LoZ will be as bad as any of Nintendo's recent outings.

>Picking out the best pieces and parts is going to be a challenge for Nintendo, when "best" is subjective.

i don't entirely agree -- certain aspects of video games can be objectively good or bad. zelda doesn't have to go in a specific direction(linear, nonlinear, replaybility, etc). in fact, botw proves it can go in any direction and still succeed. they need to figure out what the problems are in botw and what the positives are. for example, i think shrines are a great idea but poorly executed and an awful, barebones replacement of dungeons. i think progression is important in zelda games and botw does not offer enough. it's things like this that make breath of the wild feel un-zelda

If it can go in any direction and succeed (I disagree, see the DS/multi games and SS), then that's a factor of the buying base and not a factor of the games themselves. The series' Core market is what lets them be versatile --

i actually like phantom hourglass a lot hahaha. didn't try spirit tracks though.

what i mean by going in any direction, is, a zelda game COULD be linear, nonlinear, etc, and i believe nintendo is smart enough to make it work. you're probably right about the core market being the main reason zelda will always succeed, but you can't deny that SS and recent zeldas have muddled consumer faith in the series. botw brought that faith back for a lot of people and that's undeniable.

>>376423797
Trust me, the koopalings are fare from the bane of my existence. I'd much rather have them than a row of babies. There is a TON of potential for characters that could replace them though. Just look at

>>376423848
Eh, like Star Fox Zero, it was pretty much the controls that muddied those entries. Otherwise, they would be held in the same regard as the Oracle games.

Ah, okay, yes that's true. And not just restored faith - BotW's marketing and TES-copying brought a lot of mass market attention.

Let's see if Nintendo knows what to do with what it has learned.

>>376423935
here's my question: why replace them? replace the shit palette swaps, and add more unique characters, instead of removing the characters a lot of people actually love to play as.

>Dry Donkey Kong
>more relevant than Koopalings

u gotta be fuckin kidding me at this point

>>376416549

Dry bones better have his fucking tank.

All the essentials are there.

>>376424081
>>376424242
Fuck guys, I didn't say the whole list was perfect, but yea, turns out I would prefer Diddy or Egad to Lemmy.

Also dry Donkey Kong is a great joke character idea. Id be thrilled if they added that.

>>376424242
>Why replace them
They are boring. Boring boring boring. Like, yea okay they have been a Mario staple for a long time, but they are still SEVEN roster spaces all for essentially the same character. There is no veriety in that whole row except this koopaling has blue hair, or that koopaling has googly eyes. It would be no different than a row of toads with different hats on

>>376416549
As long as babies and reskins take up about a quarter of where other enemies/etc could've been, no not really.

Also why a third AC character? Why not have male/female just be alternate skins when we could've had Captain Falcon, Fox or Samus instead?

>>376416549
Super Bell, Metal Box, and something that turns you into a baby should just be power-ups.

They may as well be now.

For all of you oldfags that don't understand the hate for the Koopalings, it's because they're worthless, now.
We grew up back when they accompanied weird-shit worlds and had their own ways of doing things. Not to mention their own styles.
Now they're not even Bowser's kids, they're just different flavors of sorcerers.

Whoever is making Mario boring at Nintendo needs to be fired.

>>376421116

It's fine to like the Koopalings back when they were interesting, but the only Koopalings that these kids know are just minions that don't really do anything besides show up everywhere.

>>376428048
kek, I totally forgot that Birdo was a thing.

I hope Nintendo keeps it that way. By now even that Poochie dog is more relevant than her.

>>376428181
Mona actually drives a moped though. I picked her and Diddy Kong because they actually deserve to be in a Kart racing game more than most other mario spinoff characters.

>"Wahhhh! I wanted Diddy Kong, Birdo, etc. Pink Gold Peach, Tanooki Mario, etc took their spot!"
I'm tired of this argument. Simple palette swap clones do not take the place of your favorite character
Same thing goes for Smash Bros

>>376428191

Then you're underaged and grew up with bowser jr.

>>376430554
Actually I grew up with the N64, so none of them.

Not my fault even Nintendo thought the koopalings were shitty enough to ignore until the wii

IMO, the perfect Mario Kart roster would be Double Dash roster - Paratrooper + Dry Bones, Dry Bowser, and Shy Guy.
