I really wish the three people who had a Wii U could transfer their stats and whatnot across.

Anyone tried playing 4 people at once locally?

Me and my two kids on one Switch...

Tried three today. Plays just fine but definitely noticed the faster framerate once we switched to two.

Am I the only one who thinks the new ability to store two items has really messed up the competitive balance? Gives the people up front the ability to hold more blocking items and turns the bottom slots into complete and total anarchy from what I've seen.

Anyone playing today?

So you have to use a third-party voice chat app because Switch doesn't provide it. My friends and I have all downloaded the Discord app for our cell phones.

I'm Fedaykin98#4754 on there. You plug that exact name into the "add friend" field.

Eventually, the Switch is supposed to have its own voice chat app, which will also live on cell phones.

It still boggles my mind that Nintendo can so completely **** up the social and online aspects of a new console in this day and age.

Yup. Having a lot of fun with this one. The AI seems a bit stronger in these expansion courses than in the original 48. I'm the guy who "has to" get 3 stars on every circuit at every level. 50/100 were pretty easy of course, but the 150cc cups have been more difficult than I remember. Maybe I'm just losing my touch, though.
