I read in the Nintendo Life review cars felt like they have more weight, do you see a change in controls? Or is it just the HD Rumble that gives this illusion?omg, this game is not leaving my Switch until Arms release, lol. This is so much better than the WiiU version.

I actually liked it on Wii. These are a lot smaller though so I don't know.

Interesting I have no idea, lol. So far I'd say no, not more weight but I might be wrong...hmm..
it works quite well, and it's a lot of fun to casual players.
the main issue with motion controls is that, while on a stick there's a clear "stick goes from center to all-the-way-left" there's no end point to how far you can rotate the wheel. You can turn it further than an actual steering wheel would actually turn.
This is both:
* fun
* somewhat detrimental to your controlling accuracy.

I hate you.
I would do the same but I'm having OCD about keeping big purchases under my main account
Looks like it is following Australia time zone, which is good
Too bad I turned off my Switch before I leave home. I will need to rush back and start downloading

But I guess I can still use the stick while having it in the shell right? You don't have to use motion controls right?
I would ask less questions if my copy was already here 😂

Fun little aside, MK8 Deluxe is now the 4th best selling game of the year on Amazon US behind Zelda and in front of Horizon. I wonder if it'll pass Zelda?

It's more about when than if.
And the when is soon.
Think this game will stay the best selling Switch game throughout its life.

Want to go for digital on the Swiss eShop - but it's more expensive than physical in Switzerland ... Do I lose all my purchases if I change the country or my balance only (which is 0)?
i would strongly guess so - you can also use motion controls without the wheel.
They're just a plastic shell, just like the one on Wii. (or just like the joycon straps are, really).
There's nothing telling the console whether or not the wheel is attached to the joycon.
(earlier in this thread there's a screen shot of the pause menu, where you can toggle:
Smart Steering
"Tilt controls" (i.e. motion controls)
Auto Accelerate
i think you can toggle any of these features regardless of what controller you use.

You only lose your balance. If it's 0, then no probs, go ahead and enjoy cheaper games.
It will be in English. It is exactly the same file you would download on a US account, with the region your Switch is set to telling the game how to behave.
Create a japanese account on your switch to access the japanese eshop, so that you can buy the digital game at 47 on amazon.jp, instead of 59 in Europe.

I am in the UK and used my UK debit card on Amazon Japan just fine.
I just made sure I entered a primary address in Japan. (I copied Nintendo HQ's address)

Add a Japanese address to your Amazon address list and it will let you purchase.

I am surprised they didn't announce a season pass yet.

Maybe it's just me but it think it's way harder now to get good items. Maybe it's because you can get two items?
So I tried to log in with my main amazon account on the Amazon.jp website and it didn't let me. Do I need to create a new Japanese account in order to purchase the code there?
Honestly I'd like to play this as soon as possible (despite putting hundreds of hours into the WiiU version) so whats the best way to go about getting it off the Japanese e-shop, amazon or something else?

Amazon. You need to create a new Japanese account.

Could someone link to the actual digital card Amazon.jp page for the game? I'm afraid I'm going to accidentally order the retail copy or a guide or something lol

An easy way to tell if you are on the code version of a game is that there will be a line in the description that says "This product can be downloaded again or its product key can be reacquired from the Games & Software Library."
Hete is an excellent tutorial to buy on amazon.jp: http://cdn.halcyonrealms.com/japan/how-to-order-from-amazon-japan-a-detailed-buying-guide/
edit: Post above answered!
When playing online, do people with smart steering on play in the same races as people without it on?
I don't have a problem with the feature for younger/inexperienced players at all but it seems slightly unfair online if otherwise good players can keep it turned on and eliminate all risk of falling off whatsoever.

Very easy, as there is a button on the top right of the Japanese site that will put the whole thing in English.
No one knows!

There's no way this is true. The stars and trophies on the lower CCs don't appear if you only play the higher CCs.
...right?

Nope, they absolutely do. And yes, I went through in order on the Wii U without knowing this too, haha.
