I forgot that these are still coming out.

    My only complaint (other than I’ve always hated when they recycle maps from previous games) is that you need Internet connectivity to play these. That completely defeats the whole point of the Switch.

        Even with the online pass you can go a while between checking in, I play mk8 on planes pretty regularly

          You can play the original courses, but not the booster courses. Once you quit the game and lose your internet, no more dlc.

          I suppose if you don’t change games you might be fine. But it feels like a low blow on a system marketed for it’s portability.

            I don’t know what to tell you, I literally do it.

            I turn the system fully off on the way to the airport, then boot it back up and play whatever I want, including the booster courses.

            I just checked, and it let me start the game and load up the feather cup while in airplane mode.

      You can’t play them solo?

      I’m pretty sure I have the initial free booster tracks and I was able to play them solo offline just like any other course. It has been awhile though, I could be wrong.
