NE: "Today, we're examining the Switch 2's launch lineup compared to other Nintendo consoles to predict how release day will go."
While Mario Kart World has been praised for continuing some decade-long traditions, the kart racing title has also brought an end to others.
WTMG's Aaron Price: "Mario Kart World may have been slightly controversial based on its price, but realistically based on my time played already vs my time playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it seems somewhat justifiable. The Switch 2 has a significantly better online experience, meaning less connection issues during races. Having essentially double the amount of races with Grand Prix and Knockout Tours, plus having the free roam all means there’s a ton more to do just playing the game alone."
Mario Kart World is a solid leap forward, but its $80 price tag and underwhelming free-roam leave much to be desired.
yeh i agree.
the funmy thing is tho, theworld map road drivingz reminds me sooo much of Diddy Kong racing.
Almost sounds like the Xbox Series X which just went up by $100 for the same exact hardware it's had for a long time lmao

People complain too much in general, I have no problem with any plastic box. I've owned all of them and I have loved all of them :)
At £75 ($101), I soon got bored of it, even free roam. All old tracks up to now, can't fault much else, but maybe some of the characters are stupid. It's just not as good as Mario Kart 8, which was a Wii U port on Switch. Went back to Mario Kart 8, World doesn't come close even if you play the Wii U version.
Terrible terrible take. World has far more content than the Wii U version did at launch. Obviously 8 deluxe launched with more content than the default version, it included all of the DLC content from the Wii U version. The characters are fine as well? It focused far more on the "Mario" universe of Mario Kart, rather than "Nintendo Kart".
I agree. I like World but 8 just plays better, the driving and drifting feels much tighter and more responsive, and I prefer the narrower track designs that rely more on being good at drifting, over the bigger and wider tracks from world, there are some banger tracks in world though.
I think Wild Heart S is the first failed Switch 2 port. Even Switch 1 can handle how ugly the port is.
