Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has arrived and it’s time to play with your friends! If you’re wondering how to connect with your friends on Nintendo Switch, we’ve got you covered. Although Nintendo’s online service is still in development, there are two ways to connect with your friends on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Firstly, you can create a room by clicking on “Friends” and selecting “Create Room” if your friend is not online. Then, pick your racer and wait for your friend to join you via the same “Friends” menu.
Secondly, if your friend has already set up a lobby, you can join them by clicking on “Online Play”, selecting “Friends” and then clicking on their name. It’s that easy!
Unfortunately, there is no invite system available yet and we are still waiting for more information on the online service. However, the lobby system has been modified to allow players to swap karts and characters in the lobby. So, get ready to battle it out with your friends in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe!
It’s worth noting that the online service is working well and the game looks amazing. Although there are faster and more modern ways to connect with friends, this is a quick way that works well. And it’s great to see how quickly matches are loading, even when playing with friends located across different states.
In summary, there are two ways to register friends on Nintendo Switch for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: creating a room or joining a friend’s lobby. Although there is no invite system available yet, this is a quick and easy way to play with your friends. Stay tuned for more information on the online service and get ready to race!
