While I am personally excited for a new Mario Kart after 10ish years, I am slightly skeptical of the quality of the gameplay, as it seems a little cartoony, a little bit like Super Mario Strikers, where the game is fun for like 2 weeks then no one plays it ever again. What do y’all think?

    Looks pretty different from any game we’ve seen yet. I guess they made it that way since mk8 is already compatible with the new console, so it needs to be something other than “yet another Mario Kart” to not be overshadowed by 8.

    Maybe I’ll pick it up in a couple years, but there’s still more than enough games I haven’t played on the Switch 1 for the steep price of the Switch 2 to be justified for me personally.

    It has some gimmicks that I don’t think will stand the test of time, but mostly I think it’ll be like 8 with some tweaks. It’ll be fine, I think.

    Looks like some of the biggest changes the series has ever seen. I’m excited for it, but like many others, not excited enough for the price they are asking right now.

      Then don’t buy it. Buying it tells them it’s ok to keep raising prices.

        You can’t expect prices to never increase. That’s not realistic. It sounds like small budget or free games are more your speed.

          You Nintendo shills are hilarious. Have fun shelling out premium prices for out of date tech.

            Lol! I’m not a Nintendo shill. I rarely play Nintendo. Priorities change in life and that means sometimes changing up how you do things. The Switch 2 fits into my family picture.

            It just sounds like you’re a broke little boy that can’t afford to play video games anymore. You could always save for a few months. Maybe find a better job that pays more? Be better professionally.

    i’m pretty excited. i was disappointed by 8 and disapointed even more when we got it again on Switch instead of a new installment, with . one of the main things that bugged me was the kart customization that felt more like picking nerfs than buffs. having that eliminated alone makes the game 10x more appealing, and then this new rally mode seals the deal for me

    …aside from the price like everyone else is saying. i’ll gladly get it used, but if we all wait for it to go on sale used, there won’t be any used copies to buy used! the comments in the gameplay streams nintendo did today where flooded with demands to drop the prices so i think everyone is on the same page. it’ll be interesting to see in the coming months if nintendo budges

      As a bundled launch title I expect most launch window sales will be digital. There won’t be 2nd hand game cards on the market in any volume until after they drop the bundle.

    Looks like they had to do something different than Mario Kart 8 and they did. The game looks interesting.

    It isn’t interesting enough to buy, but then I figured I might sit this generation out.

    I personally can’t wait. I have an OLED and MK8D but just didn’t play it enough due to life getting in the way. This has me beyond excited to play it. It’ll be nice to get into a game with my fiance from the start especially because she plays basically only animal crossing.

    The price is too high. They are going to sell skins and characters. The game is going to be fluffed with open world sections instead of actual content. I probably won’t enjoy it.

    My kids will though

    I don’t see the appeal beyond for children.

    Nintendo reminds me of Disney more and more, pulling out the same old tired franchises for increasingly cynical cash grabs that prey on people’s nostalgia.

      “for all ages” and “for kids” are two different things. They don’t make kids games except for some of the yoshi platformers and even those are still playable

    Seemed fun but I noped out of everything the moment, I heard the prices.

    Steam Deck OLED + Emulations is the way to go.

    I think it’s cool. Just another Mario kart game. Updated graphics and world exploring is neat. I would be loving this game if I was 10. In my thirties? Nah. $$$
