Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC sparks backlash from Nintendo fans over \u201clazy\u201d graphics Nintendo \/ Twitter: @NibrocRockNintendo has released the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe but not everyone is happy with the first eight new courses, claiming the graphics aren\u2019t up to par. Revealed during a Nintendo Direct in February 2022, the Booster Course Pass DLC adds six waves of eight courses from previous games, with the first being released on March 18, including fan-favorites like Coconut Mall and Choco Mountain. The new 8 Deluxe expansion isn\u2019t sitting right with every player, though, with some claiming that the graphics on tracks don\u2019t look as good as they did in the Mario Kart games they originated from. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe fans slam \u201clazy\u201d DLC Following the release of the first wave of tracks, some fans took to social media to voice their disappointment in the graphical quality. \u201cThese are from the same game,\u201d Twitter user @KRoolKountry wrote on March 17, alongside screenshots of the same track from 2014 and 2022. \u201cAfter seeing what Nintendo is capable of, I have to hold them to a higher standard,\u201d the fan followed up. \u201cThey just copy and pasted Tour\u2019s tracks, updated the lighting, and are charging a premium for what clearly took little effort on their part. It\u2019s disappointing after waiting so long for a new MK.\u201d These are from the same game.

Adding lazy mobile game ports and calling it a day isn\u2019t acceptable from a AAA company https:\/\/t.co\/R0q2pBljCs \u2014 CyberUltra (@CyberUltra_) March 18, 2022 Not everyone was critical, though, with some even making fun of those annoyed at the graphical change. \u201cHonestly after seeing tweets like this for the 257th time, it makes me realize how much I couldn\u2019t care less about the graphics,\u201d a fan said. \u201cI just wanna play the game. Is this the unpopular opinion?\u201d \u201cThis really isn\u2019t as big of a deal as people are making it out to be. It\u2019s just grass,\u201d tweeted another. I don\u2019t play Mario Kart and I\u2019ve never been a fan of Nintendo in general but this really isn\u2019t as big of a deal as people are making it out to be. It\u2019s just grass. \u2014 Adnonnymous (@Adnonnymous) March 18, 2022 With five more waves and 40 tracks being drip-fed over the coming months, it\u2019s possible that Nintendo could take the feedback on board for upcoming courses. There\u2019s no release date for wave two yet, so fans will just have to wait and see if their graphical complaints will be addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
