By far the funniest part of the direct. Nintendo discovers voice-chat.

    So there is now a C-Button which opens the new Game Chat, which requires a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. This means if you don’t pay for their subscription, you will have a dedicated button on your controller which will most likely open a popup that tells you to buy their subscription. Great, I love it…

    Their example of what a game chat sounds like in Mario Kart is ridiculous

    “Let’s make a left up here”

    My brother in Christ you are on a track, you go where it tells you to go

    Also not enough swearing, insults, and slurs

      Sounds like there’s actually a free roam feature and an overworld in the new Mario kart game so this actually makes this conversation a possibility

          When I was a kid, I’d spend hours screwing around in Mario Kart 64 before Forza Horizons was even a thing.

          Glad to see that Mario Kart is actually doing a Forza.

          It’s going to be so much fun being able to frolic around in Free Roam without having to try to tune out Lakitu telling me to turn the fuck around.

      At least it seemed honest. But yeah, I feel like when you have only one other player in focus, it should try to stream in better quality. Must be capped by the output device.
