Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick shares some initial comments on what to expect from Nintendo Switch 2 support.
Mario Kart World’s Free Roam is a fun distraction away from the main modes, best played in short bursts and not quite the 'open-world' it was initially billed as.
8 years, 150+ Devs and the free roam mode is pretty empty.
What did they do with the time they spent developing the game?? How did they take 8 years? I refuse to believe it.
It sounds like the game may have been ready and they just held it back waiting for the Switch 2 to release.. which already released 2-3 years later than when it could've.
"It sounds like the game may have been ready and they just held it back waiting for the Switch 2 to release."
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is just a slightly upgraded version of the wiiU version of Mario Kart 8. What you said is highly likely and this game was ready years ago. They just didn't want to cannibalise the sales of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe after it's huge success.
I totally agree. They had this in the oven, hot and ready but left it out to stale for the Switch 2 release. They needed something to build the user base in the meantime for their upcoming 1st-party titles. $80, pffffft. Nintendo keeps Nintendo-ing.
I always like to remind people that a console generally takes between 5 to 8 years to be fully developed ! Taking into consideration that the previous build were heavily based on the normal switch which is easily 15 years old technology Mario kart world is something akin of early Xbox / ps4 gen which would match the timeline you mentioned with the game being easily 7 years old
It’s ok to disagree but if you are looking into making the conversation interesting and constructive please allow me to hear why you disagree. Wii U came out in 2012 And one for the first games the switch got games was a port of a Wii u game and the graphics still looked pretty much the same. Now that I’m remembering stuff a little bit more even Zelda was a Wii u game . Switch 2 is at max 2017 technology with a few extra perks
Yeah okay 😂 I’ve not bothered with free roam in MKW, that’s not what I bought it for. But I have had a boatload of fun with my kids doing Grand Prixs and Knockouts, the new tracks are absolutely fantastic!
Free roam is typically pointless. Among the worst offenders are Mafia 2/3, GTA4 and Saints Row 4
New list available for Nintendo Switch games that automatically run at 1080p on Switch 2 handheld mode with no updates or patches needed.
Wow....1080p, you say? Nintendo always on the forefront of cutting edge technology. Take that, Sega Genesis!
Anything above 1080 on a tiny screen is overkill. Image quality to performance absolutely isnt worth it
NE: "We look at Kirby Air Riders and all the improvements it could make compared to the original Kirby Air Ride on GameCube."
This is my dream game. For so so so long I've wanted another go at an Air Rider. In Sakurai I trust.
GTA5?
BioShock 4
how about new mafia?
