@Gwynbleidd I never played any since the GC one. At first I was pretty annoyed by everything being unlocked already (apart from kart parts) and by way to much driving assist options turned on by default without mentioning it. (Both issues that the Wii-U version did not have I think)
But once I got into it, it really hooked me. Looks amazing and plays perfectly. Driving the same tracks over and over again for years gets old at some point though.
I think they missed a huge opportunity in not giving it more “Deluxe” DLC or events on Switch. Especially with that playerbase it has now.
But everything I just wrote got said hundreds of times already.
