That is loving dumb and I hope they change it. I was just telling my girlfriend how one of us can use the Pro Controller and the other can have the grip.

Guess I'll be ordering those tiny single joycon grips off Amazon.

You can do that. It's only if you have more than one switch involved in the split screen shenanigans.

According to Nick Robinson from Polygon you can't use two Joy-Cons for one player (IE with the grip) while playing wireless split-screen (meaning two+ switches, connected wirelessly, doing split screen). You have to have each player use a single Joy-Con or a Pro Controller.

You can still use a mix of joycons and pro controllers in whatever format you want for docked single console multiplayer though, right?

Can you just do like local wireless non-splitscreen?

If so, why would you ever do splitscreen with two switches?

Ohhhhh you can do 4-way with 2-consoles? That's legit cool.

Kinda a niche use case though so I don't mind being limited to a single joycon if you're doing that.

Probably about 7-8 hours till it's available in Europe.

You can link up to 8 switches wirelessly, each one can support up to 2 players, maximum of 12 players total.

You can link 12 switches over wired LAN using docks and USB LAN adapters.

They didn't seem to have a very large throwing arc. I could have just been playing it wrong, but it was impossible to hit anyone unless they were directly in front or behind me in that round.

I was going to say that the may have changed up item spawns a bit, because there was only one Blue Shell over the first three races of the 50cc cup I tried out. Race Four showed me that it's still the mario kart we love with one Blue Shell per race.

I couldn't do anything about it, because the horns I did get kept getting stolen by boo's.

So I waited until pretty last minute to pre-order this on amazon, but with enough time that it could logically make it here by release date except it still tells me that they don't know when I'll be getting it. Did they oversell the game so mine wont ship until they replenish stock, or when it officially released will it be like oh yeah, its already half way to your house.

If it's like double dash, you can hold the item button to throw farther.

I pre-ordered as soon as it was available like a week ago and only got told yesterday that it would ship out and get to me by Tuesday. It still hasn't left their 'distribution center.' poo poo is definitely popular, Amazon lies like a dog.

The Switch's real online system (the one we'll have to pay to use) won't be up and running until later this year. It's possible that this friend code malarkey is just a stopgap solution until then, but nobody really knows because Nintendo won't say anything

Am I being dumb, but how do you enable tilt/motion controls? We've put the joycons in the wheels but it still expects you to use the stick. Can't find an options menu anywhere.

I just played through a cup and it looks like courses are unlocked by default but vehicle customizations are unlocked by playing.
