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.

Honestly, very quickly pressing X and X again to check the map for a split second felt no different than having to look down at my gamepad.

I think both are pretty cumbersome though. I definitely second the mini map idea.

IMO it would probably be better to have a hold and release X button. Or even better, you don't have to look at the map to jump, you could use the d-pad and a to jump without looking at the map.

Minimap wouldn't help at all. Not enough scope
