The next Mario Kart World was initially intended for the OG switching console, according to one. This was the goal until the development team realizes that the console could not manage it.
“It was difficult for us to incorporate everything we wanted, so we were always aware of what we abandoned in return,” said programming director Kenta Sato. A large bonding point seemed to be that the original switch should have executed the game at 30 images per second. Mario Kart games have always worked at 60 frames per second, for obvious reasons. You cannot simulate the speed without, uh, simulating the speed.
The developers have bitten the “difficult situation” until finally decide to create more DLC to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe As a way to force the time, because the team understood what to do.
“As we had decided to go out Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Race PassWe thought it would give us a little more time to continue development, “said producer Kosuke Yabuki.” It was at this point that the conversation to move it to the Nintendo Switch 2 system appeared, and this suddenly opened a lot of possibilities on what we could do. It was really a glimmer of hope.
This interview also revealed that the game has been in development since 2017, which is a hell of a long time. However, this has a certain meaning given that the original Mario Map 8 Released in 2014.
The next runner has always taken place in an open world and he was never called Mario Kart 9. The developers wanted to “pass the series to the upper level”. The big and connected world seems to do exactly that.
“I felt only in Mario Kart 8 DeluxeWe were able to perfect the formula we had followed in the series to this point, where the players run on individual lessons, “continued Yabuki.” This is why, this time, we wanted the gameplay to involve players who lead to a large world, and we started to create a world card like this. “”
I personally think that the company made the right one by delaying this game until the Switch 2. In any case, we only have a few weeks before we played Mario Kart WorldIf you have for the launch of June 5.
