Mario Kart 8 Deluxe fixes issue with acceleration ratings from original game
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 11 Comments
Mario Kart 8 on Wii U had a slight issue with kart ratings. When it came to acceleration, the amount was rounded down to the nearest whole number. That means a kart rated at 2.75 in acceleration raced as if it was rated 2.
Nintendo ended up addressing this in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. A 2.75 acceleration kart will be at its max speed faster than a 2.5, for example.
YouTuber AbdallahSmash026 takes a closer look at the situation below:

Playtonic looking to improve Yooka-Layee as work on Switch version continues
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 32 Comments
Yooka-Layee’s initial launch took place last month. Of course, we’re still waiting on the Switch version – which Playtonic is still working on.
Aside from the Switch edition, Playtonic is also tinkering away on improving the overall Yooka-Laylee experience. The team promises to “add significant improvements and introduce some of the most requested features,” such as “the optional ability to skip dialogue faster, bypass cutscenes or reduce those pesky gibberish voices” along with an improved camera. Presumably this will all be included when Yooka-Laylee is ready on Switch.
