From what I've played and seen of others playing, the online play in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is no better than it is in the original. Exactly all the lag nuances are still there, such as teleporting players, players going through item box/coin but it doesn't disappear, hitting a player (even shows hit animation) but they keep going like nothing happened, random disconnects/dropped lobbies, and so ons. So with that, I think we can put to rest the idea that paid online equals better online, because once again, it does not! It is purely a scam, one most all of us are going to pay for lel.

but now we get to pay for it. God bless us everyone.

I m actually getting these weird connection errors more than I did on the wiiu which is interesting. But yea, I don't like paying for online since I consider that nonsense regardless of platform. Oh well... :T Least pc will fill my multiplayer needs for the most part.

Uh, I haven't encountered ANY problems yet online or wireless play.

I have never seen any of these on MK8 Wii U, and I've played online quite a lot.

lol good one

All that's gonna happen once the fee arrives is the NES/SNES game a month and voice chat if it isn't already implented by then. They never said online play would improve only once the fee comes out, cause really that doesn't make much sense. Why waste resources on an online infastructure you're not gonna use for more than half a year?

I hope yal aren't implying that these issues don't exist.

Here's the full deets:

So the online play we have right now is the free trial, thus the quality of it wont be any different once it's time to pay for it.

Seeing how I never even mentioned how often they occur, please do tell how I make it seem like that.
