I guess it would be cool. They did add link in the past along with a Hyrule track. Could definitely help them with some new ideas but they can't ditch the name Mario kart.

The platform breakdowns really show how irrelevant xbox has come for selling software.

1 Hogwarts Legacy Switch 41%, PS5 26%, PS4 24%, Xbox 5%

2 EA Sports FC 24 Switch 34%, PS5 28%, PS4 26%, Xbox 12%

Yea, you can see why some developers and publishers are increasingly starting to skip XBox all together. Unless you're in a small minority of successful and highly played Gamepass games, you're pretty much taking a payout on your game just to rot and die on the service.

Not that surprising, the Switch has some killer exclusive titles, so people have to own a Switch to play them.

I’m part of the Wiiu numbers myself.

Which then make MK 8 a bit over 70 million!

Maybe it's time I buy Mario kart for my switch. It's just so expensive atm

OtterX13d ago

The game has 96 tracks, how is that expensive for what you get? lol

Inverno13d ago

Gotta look into if you're really going to enjoy it long term. I bought it because of all the crazy MK Wii videos of people doing skips but found that MK8 was a lot more tame mechanically. Got boring pretty quickly, and the online last i checked wasn't very stable.

Probably be using 3+ year old chips by the time it launches

Tacoboto24d ago

The 2017 Switch is based on the 2015 Tegra X1 so even if Nintendo is using technology from 2022, that alone still represents a significant improvement.

How many decades has it been since Nintendo consoles been about power?

Inverno24d ago

Should open pre-orders through the E-shop for a period before making it available through stores. And now that COVID is out the way, you can make in store preorders mandatory too. People interested wouldn't have much of an issue driving by if it meant keeping scalpers at bay for a bit.

I mean, the problem is these a-holes have bots that eat up every sites inventory. Then they sell it on eBay for stupid prices. No matter what you try to do we’re still going to have to fight through these human pieces of sh*t to get these damn consoles at launch.

phoenixwing24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Well I'll either see if I can get one online against bots or wait till they're saturated and buy in a brick and morter store. Waiting isn't an issue anyway I have enough games to wait out the shortage

FinalFantasyFanatic23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

I can't really understand people rushing out to buy a console at release, I'll wait a year, two years, etc... until I can walk into a store and buy one if I have to, I'm not paying scalper prices.
