In an official My Nintendo news post about the upcoming Mario Kart World Open Series being held from 5th March to 25th March, Nintendo might have accidentally spoiled a major content update that’s planned for this year’s MAR10 Day. Some of the screenshots in the post, meant to show off the unique rules for each week of the tournament, hides an explosive piece of evidence that eagle-eyed fans have spotted, hinting towards the return of the Bob-omb Blast battle mode from Double Dash and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. If you look closely at the menu icon for “Battle” in the screenshot (which still hasn’t been taken down at the time of writing), a Bob-omb can be seen alongside a balloon and a coin, which represent the other two modes in the game, Balloon Battle and Coin Rush. The Bob-omb isn’t present in the current version of the game, so either someone at Nintendo made a mistake, or this is an intentional, easy-to-miss tease for more exciting things to come in Mario Kart World.
It could be a accidental screenshot or maybe its fake.
So, a mode that should’ve been there from the start?
If it’s real, then it’s about time. This game needs more content to justify the $80 price tag.
Funny that people seem to think everything should be there from the start when MKW was never about that kind of battle mode, well, from the start.
Modern gamers are really entitled people.
🙄
The replay value justifies the cost imo… I have played this game wayyy more than any other and its imporve on MK8 is incredible, making that game unplayable.
Yoooo, my brother and I loved this mode in Double Dash
I might give this game a retry eventually, but forcing the intermission roads on us really left a sour taste in my mouth, and the drones who were aggressive towards people who have a simple preference killed any remaining enjoyment out of the game. It’s never a good look when a company tries to police gameplay variety just because they’re not playing the way that they like. They should’ve made it as a separate option when they noticed people choosing random courses just to have the classic gameplay.
I have to agree. I never really lied the update to begin with because it mess up the style of the game’s experience. Yes that separate option should be added as a future update.
It should’ve been a mode that, dare I say, should’ve been there from the start.
All you have to do is play Knockout Tour and none of that other bs matters
