>How do I play with you guys!?! --First time racers: Go to "online - one player", go to "tournaments", go to "search by code", enter our main (or auxillary) lobby code and hit "join". If you keep getting put in empty lobbies, the current one is full. --Returning racers: Go to "friends" from the online menu & view "recent players" list to find and join someone who is currently racing.
>News Update 1.1 is out. 200cc got shit on and Inklings animationngesture was censored
>Thread PSA: Do not reply or respond to shitposters. Regularly announce the number of players in a lobby. Keep up the banter during races. Namedropping is discouraged but posting along the lines of "Haha John Smith that green was beautiful" is not only fine; you should do it more! Keep on posting screenshots in the thread!
>Today's protip We're gaining steam! Keep powering on! Call out 1/12 often
Cameron Butler
After a few weeks someone should make an updated list of pic related. It's always nice having some new regulars.
Andrew Wright
There aren't online profiles for Switch users like there is for Wii U users

hi
Nathaniel Cruz
Nintendo just posted this on their official Twitter. I guess they're doing a quick synopsis on each character.
One thing seems off to me, though. >First Appearance: Super Mario Kart Are they implying that the Mario Kart Mario and the mainline game Mario are two different Marios, and that the first time the Mario Kart Mario appeared was in Super Mario Kart? Is that why there are so many different Marios in Mario Kart?
Brody Wilson
Hey
Jacob Wright
any wii u players here want to race? besides boneyT
Ryder Campbell
I take that to mean: First appearance in the topic under the lens: Mario Kart. Like how Inkling Girls first appearance will be "MK8" and not "Splatoon"
Parker Campbell
Boney and Spooky are cute teehee
Christian Howard
>there are different generations of mario >each mainline game is a different mario >the mario games have an even deeper timeline than zelda's

I'd love to ride the Warp Star as Dry Bowz. How the fuck would wheels work on it though? Or would it just be a warp star themed cart?
Juan Price

David Murphy
Are the ghosts it shows always the top 20 in the world?
If so, I might be 20th on SNES Rainbow Road.
Caleb Bennett
I used to think Villager was best girl, but I have seen the light and now know that it's Toadette.
Aiden Martinez
Obviously it changes depending on who has better times but you and your friends' times are at the bottom of the list if you're not shuffled in the middle, from my understanding. Sorry to bring your day down.
Sad.
Jonathan Ross
Eh, I figured that was the case, anyway.

Jackson Turner
Can you even message people on Switch like you could on Wii U?
Zachary Nelson
>it's a wild woods episode Don't think so
Anthony Perry
Wii U can actually get lobbies going because Wii U players actually post status updates in the thread. Switch players just join the lobby and never post any updates so lobbies stay at 2/12 for hours.
Gabriel Myers
As it stands, no. I hope that comes with the app. I also hope they get rid of friend codes by then and allow you to add people right in the game or search them in the app.
I thought they'd learn by now. I sincerely hope they have.
Nicholas James
All right, I need to get some sleep. Good games.
Isaac Peterson
Night
Liam Jones
One of the things I don't like about the Switch. It's too minimalistic. They took all the things that was alright with the Wii U (the messaging, community, etc) and just omitted it entirely. It might be added to that phone app later, but going on my phone and signing in and all that junk is just repetitive. There's nothing you can do that has anything to do with the community other than see what your friends are playing and being able to post your screenshots on Twitter. Don't fix it if it isn't broken.
Samuel Williams
Strange sounds like they just went backwards with the online on Switch, and now they want people to pay for it. They had made so many leaps when it comes to online on the Wii U (being able to send friend requests via IDs, being able to message people,miiverse) and it just sounds like they threw all that out the window.
Brody Ross
I can see why they removed Miiverse, though. They'd prefer people to post stuff about their games on Twitter instead of their own echo chamber so people without a Switch can see them. Bit of free advertising.
Zachary Perry
i'll buy a switch once they add netflix to it
Owen Jenkins
>sounds like they just went backwards with the online on Switch, and now they want people to pay for it Kek, what do you that nk with happen with this "bad netcode" and "minimalism" once paid online is upon us?
Lucas Smith
one last race then I'm going to bed

Good job keeping the thread alive while I was sleeping.

Aaron Sanchez
So where's Tim?
Lucas Harris
Hopefully in the garbage bin
Jose Morris
I dunno, maybe he didn't see a reason to buy a game he had already played for like 3000 hours on Wii U. Most people who played here on Wii U probably feel that way.
Jose Carter
One of the main reasons why we're not gonna see a lot of the old regulars return, I reckon.
The other reason being that a Switch isn't worth having yet to a lot of people.
