LEGO® 2K Drive Nintendo Switch

Product Information

Players are going to get bored". Then why is it still placing in Top 10 video game sales charts consistently? They don't need to fill in the gap actually, it's still dominating sales charts. Games that are no longer selling millions of copies need gaps. Okay to be fair, Mario Kart 8 DX has a gap, it's the Booster Course Pass! I'm certainly not bored of the game and am actually really excited to see what courses they are going to bring in the final two waves! You know what really benefits them financially? Taking the best selling Switch game, and adding additional content to it. Keeps people talking about the game, gets even more people to buy the game, gets already paid players to buy the DLC, and as a bonus, incentives NSO. If Nintendo is paying attention to whether or not it is beneficial, then maybe I think it spells clearly that Nintendo is well off with their Mario Kart game that drives laps around the over saturated open world concept and that they can comfortably continue to support this game until the next big Mario Kart game on the next system. You talk so highly about Mario Kart Tour and forget that like the console handheld relationship of Mario Kart before the Switch, it extends to Mario Kart 8 DX on Switch and Mario Kart Tour on phones. There's your two Mario Kart games that both are being actively supported. If you can't think of a VIDEO GAME off the top of your head that is a spin-off of a spin-off, let that be a sign that it maybe isn't the best idea. TV shows and video games are vastly different types of media content. 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": Mario has never been an adventure game, but racing through and exploring large open areas does not conflict with racing casually and competitively. They can make it a side series if they want like the sandbox Marios or Metroid Prime (and that might be for the best because I'm not sure it really mixes well with traditional Mario Kart gameplay, but it would do well as a different feeling Mario Kart that could run alongside the main series). That's what Forza Horizons is, it's a subseries of Forza. Why shouldn't Nintendo want their own Forza Horizons for Mario Kart, especially when they insist on only having one main entry per console? They'll need something to fill in the gaps when console generations tend to be 5+ years, and DLC is such a tremendous waste of creativity (and possibly sales too, it feels like they're leaving money on the table by not having a big Mario Kart game of some kind midway through the Switch's lifespan). The worlds aren’t huge, but they’re genuinely beautiful. Big Butte County is a desert landscape complete with looming sandstone buttes, farms (complete with Lego cows, pigs and horses) and quaint towns. Prospecto Valley is a mining region with cowboy towns surrounded by woodlands. My favourite though is Hauntsborough, a spooky theme park world filled with giant spiders, creepy castles and dark, ominous tunnels. It’s a shame we didn’t see more landscapes like this one, embracing the fantasy element of the Lego universe. a b Towell, Justin (May 15, 2023).

It's all about Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at the moment for most Switch owners, but there are still plenty of other new releases to enjoy.

I think just make a smaller game that doesn't have core mechanics and balance that leverages micro-transactions at the detriment to player experience.

Pedal to the plastic

There’s some egregious pop-in, and textures are worse than a tree in Galar. The actual transformations of the vehicles look great when you can make them out, and it’s lovely seeing the vehicle you make on the screen, but if you have any other way of playing this game, maybe consider playing it on PS5 or something similar.

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 obviously a very classy game. It looks great, runs well, is fully featured and well balanced to ensure that everyone has a good time. LEGO 2K Drive is an easy recommendation then, regardless of whether you're looking for a gift for a child or just want a wholesome palette cleanser for yourself."
