Maka Wuhu glitch is here to stay

Maka Wuhu glitch is here to stay

Multiple websites, including Stickwiddlers (just so I can link back to someone) says that Nintendo will not fix the Maka Wuhu glitch in Mario Kart 7. The glitch allows you to advance fairly far ahead in the course.

Here's Nintendo's statement:

Thanks for your patience in waiting for a response during this busy time of year. 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.
Sincerely,
Buddy Roemer
Nintendo of America Inc.

This is a bummer, because the 3DS can receive updates. But if one group has the update and the other doesn't, then that creates an imbalance. At the moment, we just have to live with it, but we should continue to put pressure on Nintendo to make them do something to fix this.
