TeamVVV.com Weekly Racing Video Game News Videocast: Back on the GRID

VVV: "In this week's TeamVVV.com Weekly Racing Video Game News round-up, Codemasters get back on the grid with GRID Autosport, a spin-off that aims to rectify everything wrong with Grid 2. Expect motorsport to be back at the forefront, an improved authentic handling model and not one, but two cockpit cameras. You can't say Codemasters don't listen to their community. The catch? It's coming soon to a PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 near you only."

GRID Autosport and other racing games have compatibility issues on Switch 2

Not entirely true.

I had this issue with Grid Autosport, it crashed about 5 times in a row at one of the beginning logos. I finally tried another game, then tried Grid again... and it worked!

So it's not working well, but it eventually does work. I did a handful of races no problem once I got the game going. So yea, hoping for a patch soon bc it is a pretty good racer to have handheld!

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."

I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
