Os fãs desta entrada subestimada de Mario Kart são mais uma vez esmagados graças ao trailer do Switch 2

Quando a revelação do Switch 2 se aproximou, os fãs de Mario Kart ficaram muito empolgados, pois alguns momentos do que pareciam ser o próximo jogo da série foram exibidos. However, for a subset of those fans, the reveal was another crushing disappointment.

For those, like myself, desperate for a Double Dash!! 2 , the lack of a second Mario character clinging onto the back of each kart for dear life was a total letdown.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! , for those who aren't aware of the greatest entry in the series, was the GameCube's entry into the long-running racing franchise. Landing in 2003, it was also one of the most innovative ones ever released. See, in Double Dash!! , you didn't drive your kart alone; Em vez disso, era um piloto cooperativo com uma pessoa dirigindo o kart e a outra responsável pelo lançamento de projéteis e ajudando com slides de energia. It was an absolutely wild gamble that paid off with one of the best in-person racing experiences ever.

No entanto, nunca apanhou da maneira que outros jogos de Mario Kart fizeram, possivelmente porque estava no cubo de jogo de baixo ou porque as pessoas estavam confusas com a idéia de corridas cooperativas. Whatever the reason, Nintendo abandoned the concept, leaving behind a small but devoted fanbase who have been yearning for a sequel. That fanbase has once again been denied, and they aren't happy about it.
