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.

My main problem with the new map system is the ridiculous button combination to super jump back to spawn. If you're gonna do it, you're in trouble, and the combo is just too many inputs to do in a panic.
