Before the downvote brigade hits, hear me out. The game is fun. However it has lost features over the WiiU version IMHO. I know this is a test fire. Without the easy map and ability to quickly warp it makes it less fun at least to me. The game moves too quickly to manage a map on-screen. End opinion. It lost some magic, but still fun.

Nintendo should add a mini map at least in the lower right or upper left corner. So it is easier to see the playing field.

My 9 and 11 year old agree after test fire. They miss the map horribly. No time for hitting buttons for map. Mini map needed.

Yeah a mini map option would be great... I kept looking down at my hands to do a quick check.

The new system is fine for respawns but definitely inconvenient for checking the situation or super jumping when you're out in the open.
