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

... interesting

Nintendo now makes a Forza?

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.

I was watching the nextlander coverage and they were hoping for “burnout kart”

That screen share fps is rough

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.
