I'm still stupidly addicted to this.
We're now at the end of season 3 and on the verge of season 4. They've really done a great job of keeping it fresh, with weekly playlist updates, new maps every few weeks, and new modes being dropped in and taken away again to keep you on your toes.
I barely play games online, and this is probably the first time I've really participated in something approaching a live service game. The only other game I've played a significant amount of online in recent years is Mario Kart 8 on WiiU, and by God, I wish Nintendo would create something like this for MK9.
The possibilities for different playlists, tournaments, limited time tweaked versions of modes, dripfed classic maps and characters/vehicles are endless. Not to mention the challenges they could build in, on a season-by-season basis, to let you unlock extra loot (Dodge 5 Blue Shells, win a race by less than 1 second 3 times, etc).
It really could be a whole lot of fun. I wish they would do that. Mario Kart 8 online worked fine, but it was about as basic as it could possibly get.
