I would not buy this game, just because I'll have to unlock everything again ^^

I spent enough time on the WiiU version. They should have created a way to bring your Wii U save to switch. Maybe not fully, but at least you should be able to unlock everything.

They could have updated the WiiU version with a tool that gives you a code that marks your progress.

Of course you would lose your record times and stuffs like that. But you could use that code to put into the switch version and have bring over your number of stars for each cups in each speed category, and the characters and karts.

Good point

Unlike smash, mk8 takes some time to get the characters and the majority of kart pieces. Gonna be sad to see no save backup, but I probably shouldn't be so concerned if I'm already willing to double dip later on

Can I use amiibos without opening the case? I don't want to break the box just to use them one or two times.

Nintendo put stuff at the bottom that "blocks" the scanning of them. There are tricks like cutting open or the bottom.

That required far too much effort for me. Leaving my two options leave them in the box, or use them.

Which led me to just not buying them in the first place. Aside from a few like NES that stay in the box.

Actually cutting them open at the bottom is pretty easy. They are already perforated on the side where the plastic touches the cardboard, so that you only need to insert a sharp knife in one of the holes and slice it through. Fron there you have a starting point for the two sides.

That way you get a flap that is unnoticable once you set the box down. It's obviously not mint condition anymore after that though, so the 'collectos value' as it were is gone after that. It's really just in case you enjoy seeing them in their boxes, but still want to use them
