I am disappointed!

http://mynintendonews.com/2014/05/15/mario-kart-8-restricts-online-chat-to-friend-only-lobbies/

EDIT: Hey this is an update to my post. I just found out after watching GameXplains review that you can still join a friend and friends can join you but you cant invite them. Ill just probably end up messaging my friends on miiverse to join me. Im not disappointed anymore hahahaha. Im actually happy about the voice chat because some people with mics ruin the fun with annoyance.

Nintendo's online functionality is lightyears behind Playstation Network and Xbox Live. These are the most basic features, and they're missing from one of Nintendo's biggest games......

Mario Kart WII had these features though.

That's good! I don't want to hear or talk to strangers. The no invite thing is dumb though.

Personally I don't care, but that is pretty stupid.

I don't care. Simple as that.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

That kinda sucks with the invite thing but I m glad about the headset thing though... the last thing I want to hear is nyacat in every game over and over again (looking at u mw2)

On one hand, yea I'm disappointed. On the other, can't really say I didn't expect it. At least it's a right move forward.

Disappointing, but expected. Nintendo aren't exactly well known for their online functionality :p

The moment Nintendo announces a patch to allow this, 100% of the "I don't cares" will be "HELL YEAH FRIEND INVITES." I wish I lived in a world where everyone was as unbiased and secure as myself, but alas, it shan't be.
