It always seemed like a kiddie game that’s not meant to be taken seriously, but apparently a bunch of people in their 20s and 30s take it very seriously.
Why? Isn’t it pretty much random and unfair by design?
Do people really get hours of fun out of losing races due to catch-up mechanics?
The only thing that comes to mind is that it’s a Nintendo game and most people with Nintendo consoles don’t have access to the variety of games that the rest of us do.
They’re kind of stuck with whatever Nintendo puts out, so I guess it makes sense they would value it more.
I remember when I first bought my Gamecube… I had to sign an agreement that I would never play a non-Nintendo property again. “How could they ever enforce this?” I thought. Little did I know that the next day, the Sony SWAT Team would be bursting into my house to extract my Playstation. It was absolutely terrifying.
I haven’t played a single non-Nintendo game since.
Dude. Mario Kart sells consoles, not the other way around. You’re delusional.
