No Fixes planned for Maka Wahu track

"Wuhu Island" may sound like an innocuous place, but it's apparently rife with dirty, dirty cheaters. And that cheating doesn't sound like it's stopping anytime soon, with Nintendo telling StickTwiddlers that the island's "Maka Wuhu" track in Mario Kart 7 won't be patched or updated to fix the glaring glitch found at the start.

"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," Nintendo rep Buddy Roemer (no, not that Buddy Roemer) told the site. And though Nintendo acknowledges the glitch, Roemer said there "are no plans to update the game to remove this shortcut." Not for the moment, at least.

The logic behind not updating the game is perhaps even more bizarre than acknowledging the glitch and refusing to fix it. "Doing so would create an unfair advantage for the users of the original release of the game," Roemer said, though he did also say the request for a fix has "been added to our records for Mario Kart 7." We imagine a printout of the email is now sitting in an official three-ring binder somewhere, biding its time next to fan art of Yoshi with a glider.

why is there no fix?

I saw this article, but I didn't feel like posting it, because I forget.
I really wish they would get rid of it, but the reason they aren't getting rid of it (from what I've gathered), is the fact that people who buy the game after they patch it wouldn't get to use it.
I hope I'm wrong about that.

I've only played online with you guys so far, so I can't fully appreciate the glitch.

You know, I really don't find a problem with snaking, but I'm gonna' go out on a limb here and say you're a cheater and I don't plan on racing you in Maka Wuhu now. :P

Meh. Mastering this glitch is easy.
I still don't use it.

And I won't either.

No promises about snaking.

Pff. My shell/banana throwing aim is based upon people drifting.
Also, it's been proven that unless you have a specific character/kart combo, snaking doesn't get you too far.

Yeah, I know. Actually, I don't really use it in MK7, it doesn't work too well there. I'll stick to it in Wii.
