Don't worry though, from what I've seen, all items in general have been nerfed, as the recovery time after getting hit has been reduced. Lakitu also saves you much faster, so getting hit by Lightning or the Blue Shell in a flying section is not as bad. It also seems like you won't lose your item anymore even when it's being dragged after taking a big hit, so that should help prevent the whole blue shell followed by red shell followed by bullet bill nonsense, especially since you can only have one item at a time now. From what people who played the game at the preview event are saying, it seems the Blue Shell shows up less often. Of course, all of this could change in the final game. |
Yeah, and this goes in line with the developers saying that they aim to make the game more balanced. Most likely they are aware that other controller options wouldn't be viable if avoiding a blue shell at all costs was the key to victory.
