No Plans for an Update to Fix Mario Kart 7 Glitch

If you've been playing Mario Kart 7 online, you may have seen a number of players driving off the edge of the track on Wuhu Mountain Loop. This is a glitch that allows you to skip a section of the course and gives players who know about it an advantage. The question is, do Nintendo plan on updating the game to fix it? Apparently not, says a statement the company gave on it.

According to Nintendo of America's Buddy Roemer, updating the game would create an unfair advantage for players with the original release of the game. You can check out the rest of the statement below.

We are aware that it is possible to navigate a certain part of the track in Wuhu Island in a way that allows a large part of the course to be bypassed. There are no plans to update the game to remove this shortcut as doing so would create an unfair advantage for the users of the original release of the game. Rest assured your comments have been added to our records for Mario Kart 7.

This was reported by StickTwiddlers, who emailed Nintendo of America about the problem. Judging by the response, it would seem Roemer is talking about an updated version of the game at retail and not a downloadable update. According to Nintendo the 3DS does allow for patching, so fingers crossed!
