I consider Mario Kart Wii to be an "accessible" game and Mario Kart 8 the same. (Incidentally I use motion controls for both for maximum fun) One point you make that is definitely true - it's a lot easier to 3 star all cups on MK8. On MKWii I still haven't managed that to this day (I did manage 1 star on all cups, but no more). However, that's a transition that started on MK7, where it was also super-easy to do that. At the end of the day, does it actually matter if the game is "casual" or not? The question is whether it's fun. Both MKWii and MK8 deliver very strongly on the fun factor for me - and online is still a fantastic challenge on MK8 simply because even if the game is easy, online it's easy for everyone! |
I've explained my use of the word 'casual' to NoName.
Anywho, it seems you are agreeing with me. However, you go off course at the end. This thread isn't about which one is better than the other/which is more fun, because difficulty isn't the only defining factor in a game. Still, difficulty makes a game have more replay value as you keep trying to do better, because there's always expanses of room to improve. With MK8 I got bored quickly because I already reached a max level, at least single-player wise.
