Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Coconut Mall track updated to include moving cars
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The first wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC brought back Coconut Mall, but not without some controversy. In the original game on Wii, the cars that can be found towards the end of the lap moved and caused interference as another obstacle. However, in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, they were static and stayed in place.
Nintendo apparently heard the feedback and has implemented a change. As part of the latest update to the game, the cars that the Shy Guys are riding in in Wii Coconut Mall now move from time to time. The only exception is Time Trial mode.

Disney Speedstorm dev on what sets the game apart from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Disney Speedstorm will be appearing on Switch later this summer, but as a kart racer, it has fierce competition on the console as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has proven to be a juggernaut. That being said, the team at Gameloft believes there are enough differences between the games to make the Disney and Pixar racer stand out.
Gameloft Barcelona game manager Aska Suzuki spoke to us about a few aspects such as how there are four character classes in the game and everyone on the roster has specific power-ups. Of course, simply having Disney and Pixar representation is a straightforward but appealing aspect. Updates and season passes are also planned, so players can look forward to additional content to follow after launch with new racers and more.

We still don’t have complete confirmation, but this week’s announcement of the second wave gives credence to the original speculation.
