Are you like fucking kidding me..? It's been less than a month and there's QA issues

    There's always a percentage of devices that will show defects, especially the launch wave. QA can never get 100% of units passed.

    Does anyone remember the PS5 issues with the disc drive, rest mode, coil whine etc during launch?

    Now if this turns into a pattern / widespread issue I'm ready to jump on the bandwagon, but this is not out of the ordinary.

    E: typo

    Exactly. We're hearing about the edge cases so far, which there will ALWAYS be some for any product.

    Not defending Nintendo here. I'd love to be playing the new Mario Kart, but not at those prices.

    The new Mario kart is the same as the old Mario kart. Just play 8 if you want to play Mario kart lol.

    That's like telling me to not read sequels to books.

    Just because it shares mechanics and characters does not make it the same game.

    Huh? The person I responded to said they don't have Mario kart world and don't want to buy it for the price it's being sold at. So i said play Mario kart 8 it's the same game.

    So yes. If you don't own a sequel to a book and it costs too much, then just read the first book.

    It's different to the point I sometimes go back to 8 for the more traditional format. That isn't something that has ever been the case for me across other mario kart games.

    Even with the vast majority of people having no issues, with millions sold, that's still a good number of people just got a bad one. The article only reports two instances.

    It's not really too unusual for a launch as big as this to have some bad units slip through QA. If it's a handful of people, I'd even say that's pretty impressive. This starts to effect a large enough percentage and then you've got something worth getting upset about.
