I'm sold on this game. Everything about it just feels very polished and presented well.

No the graphics aren't some insane leap over MK 8 Deluxe, but it's all in the extras. The tracks and world feel so much more vibrant with lots going on. So many small details that we are getting to see thanks to the extra power of the Switch 2.

Can't wait for June 5th.

That shot where the Koopa trooper jumped in the air and went to another course was super impressive

Cacabunga39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

It looks fire 🔥
But still pass on this console until they solve all the broken anti-consumer things

I do not bother waiting, i can get this game’s deluxe edition with all DLC in 3 years.

repsahj39d ago

Me too!!! Still praying for the price of the physical edition to be $60, though.

SimpleDad39d ago

Never gonna happen! Everything is made, shipped to Murica and waiting for launch. It's over.

Profchaos38d ago

I think if you shop around you'll find retailers who offer $10 to $20 off promotions via different codes.

I have managed to find a few various offers for 10 off of DK bananza

Prepare for the backlash!!

Everybody waiting to see what surprises Nintendo was bringing as Nintendo saying we’d find out why they were charging £80….. then they literally showed nothing particularly new. None of the “saviour” single player rumours were true. No new content that anyone was expecting. Just everything that we already knew hahahaha…

Wow. Bold move Nintendo.. bold move indeed… so what exactly were they waiting to show us that would change public opinion???

-Foxtrot40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

I can't believe it's 2025 and Nintendo still can't give us a single player campaign mode in Mario Kart, Diddy Kong gave us one in 1997 and Crash Bandicoot had one in 1999.

Profchaos39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

I thought there was a Forza esq experience in this game that's the impression I got

ZycoFox40d ago

It's a bit better than I was expecting: being able to unlock missions on top of the other modes.

But, I think it's still gonna be lacking compared to a full SP mode like DKR had.

Worth it maybe in the bundle, full price on its own? Possibly not but that's just IMO..

TorTurphyre40d ago

The $80 price point has me on edge, but it feels like a full game that I can at least sink a good 10-20 hours into. I'm on the fence and I know it is a steep price for many other people... It looks really nice, I just hate how much it's going to be.

badz14939d ago

A racing game you only spend up to 20 hours is not a good racing game

TorTurphyre38d ago

you're completely right, the only thing enticing me about it is the freeroam and the ability to just zone out and drive around a bit after work. However, even that gets stale, and then you move on. The 80 dollar price tag isn't worth it.

Profchaos39d ago

Yeah I'll be picking it up in the bundle I liked what I saw and Mario kart is a huge winner when it comes to gaming with the family.

I'd like to know how it supposedly took 8 years to make this when the open free roaming mode looks so empty, unless they're purposely not showing where the content/missions are..

Really how is driving around empty land going to be exciting? I find that so boring, I get some may like it but.. if there's hardly anything to do then why bother.

repsahj4d ago

I saw a youtube video that there's platforming missions you can find throughout the map.

"Pushing boundaries" seems like a stretch.

badz14914d ago

LOL

The only boundaries it's going to push are the boundaries of the series itself. nothing more

'For software, in addition to the same factors, the price is decided by considering factors such as increased costs due to increased game capacity and longer development periods.'

Hmm, why not use key cards then if they're good enough for third parties?

“Longer development periods”

LIES!

This would be true if the Switch 2 was a current generation console and outputting graphic fidelity of current gen, but it’s barely better then a PS4.

If they are saying that their games take as long to develop then high end current gen games, then that is a complete lie. Typical PR spin.

Just call it what it is - Greed.

Extermin8or3_15d ago

When did the last new Mario kart title actually release?

CrimsonWing6915d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Yea, nothing you said justifies the price hike. Variable pricing already shows you’re “testing” it with popular titles until the sheep give in and you make it the standard you greedy pig.

ravens5215d ago

Whats worse than the greedy pig IS the sheep though.

CrimsonWing6915d ago

You’re right and that’s the thing I wish could be prevented. Like, if they didn’t give in, companies would quickly adjust for the market.

For me, I’m just limiting myself to a game a month and waiting for sales on everything else. It sucks, but I’m making my stand with this industry. Otherwise a year from now $100 will be the standard for games.

anast15d ago

It's the president of Nintendo's job to lie. What is not said or avoided is the truth.

gold_drake15d ago

heres the translation

"the next Zelda, pokemon Mario, Smash, Animal Crossing and other games will be outrageously overpirced, regardless of glitches, how they look, how they play, how outdated they look, how ridiculously bad the voicechat functions"
