Regarding Mario Kart.

"The dismissiveness seems to come from people who aren't aware of the high skill ceiling and depth of gameplay."

I'm aware but the tracks are sub-par compared to MK 8. They feel way too wide and the open world is way too devoid of things to do. I was absolutely gobsmacked that we didn't get an update for DK Bonanza release to MKW... It's like Nintendo is just being stubborn.... also I want a 4k update for MK8 but.... You know they will not do it because MKW!

"Mario Kart World features a new, seamless world with interconnected courses"

With every racing franchise I'm aware of, the open world version always has worse tracks than the non open world. I really hope they fix MKW as it's wonderful except for the lame course design.

@Shiryu The whole character design of her is not good, I would much rather have a non realistic character in line with astral chain or other "pretty" character styles. I don't understand the current push to make all characters ugly or "normal" looking

And I kind of remembered why I got annoyed at this game. The stupid spiders are annoying, and how the hell are you supposed to know where you're supposed to go? Confusing as hell with a stupid key cards and such. Yes I know the old Boomer shooters have that, and they made them like labyrinths, but this day and age there's no reason to do that part of the game to make it a boomer shooter.

@purple_shyguy okay I just tried it It works wonderfully, it says in the upper left hand corner when done during gameplay Max frames per second 99.

And it's smooth as butter now, wow still kind of blows my mind that this game was so unoptimized that it couldn't run at 60 frames per second on the original switch.

@purple_shyguy cool. That's awesome. I'm try it

Great. 60fps and 4k option? If not why not?

Mario Kart World? Um.... No. It's good, but it's not finished yet. And they better not charge for DLC. $80 game?

@RiasGremory I respectfully disagree, $70 for old games? It should have been $40, and $20 for each.

I'm actually impressed how many games with in this short of a time period have been made compatible. I'm very pleased with the improvement in performance the NSW2 deals out to these older games. Extremely impressive.

I will eventually purchase physical, but I'm still pissed about the price. Nintendo is not right with the pricing on this one.

Will miss him. His videos are great. Hopefully he will pop up somewhere on YouTube.

Bowser was / is terrible, he is from EA. Glad he is gone. But the new one I've never heard of.

Five bucks says Nintendo charges $70.... Uggg. So frustrated with Nintendo right now.

@KayFiOS Amen!

Nintendo has turned into greedy *****. This really saddens me, I was looking forward to buying this for $40 for both games... $70? Wtf.

And they should add Super Mario Galaxy 2 as an update for 3D All-Stars for $20.

Really digging the resident evil. I am downright dismayed at having Bonanza DLC, expensive DLC, no free update? Why so expensive and why so soon? Also No Mario kart world updates? Mario kart world has so far not proved to be a better game than Mario kart 8, and it's definitely not worth it as an $80 game, are they just trying to piss the customers off? Nintendo just comes off as snooty and greedy right now... I do like that Mario Galaxy 2 is coming out finally, but I'm kind of pissed that they didn't announce Mario Galaxy 3 for sometime in 2026, that would be brilliant.

I was thinking maybe a turok revival? But I guess no.

Nintendo really screwed up with the cartridge design and decisions this go around, if what we're hearing is true the switch to cartridges are relatively slow, And that's why some companies are using the key card method, if Nintendo is smart about this they would have gotten rid of the key card, and left a block on the internal memory for a rather large cash file, so that games could prefetch assets from the card prior to them being needed by the game....

Physical percent sales are just horrible for Nintendo because of these damn key cards

Yeah not going to buy it not going to play it, this reminds me of the ill fated Star Fox zero. I was so excited for a new Star Fox I purchased it day one, and I really really tried to like it, and I just didn't like it because of the stupid controls...

This is how this game is for me.

@SalvorHardin good to hear another opinion... I love Mario kart world, but I have to go back to 8 often.

Wow... A lot of folks are saying they prefer this to Mario kart world. And I kind of get it, Mario kart's worlds tracks are so wide there is very little actual karting involved.

Yeah this looks like I might get it basically for when my wife wants to watch something else on TV and I'm playing a game and using game chat.

I really thought this was going to be a $40 game.

Is $70? The new $40?

@AmplifyMJ that's awesome. You sound like a great Dad.

Okay so my second question If I buy Madden 2025, will I be able to play this game and say 2030? 2028? Or will they make me buy the new game because they turned off 2025 online servers?

And how come he did not mention the stuttering I just watched another video and it stutters like hell. I don't get how this reviewer just glosses over that fact

How can you rate this an 8? I've seen several videos on YouTube, and the game stutters rhythmically every time there's a camera change or pretty much anything happening? That is unacceptable, who wants to play that way and why would you give it an 8 in this condition?

@IceClimbers I have faith in night dive studios to update it, also I think they will update quake, Doom I+II and turok 1 2 and 3. I would love to see it support higher resolution, 1080p looks great, but it would clean up the edges a lot to run it at 4K.

@AmplifyMJ Have you upgraded to a switch 2 yet? Doom 2016 and eternal are wonderful on the switch 2. I'm also hoping that they do a 60 frames per second update.

@BaldB3lper78 So I did play it, and I feel that it's not near as good as the old air hockey that was included with Wii Play? I think that's the one it was on. It is fun though I definitely need to make the physics better though The puck seems to go at a standard speed pretty much no matter what it's kind of strange.

@Talkshowhost Yeah that's a real bummer hopefully they will update it.

@Automated_Unit_4937 thanks.

Handy hockey? Am I the only one that thinks that sounds hilarious? And yes I just bought it. Sounds like a fun game. But it also sounds like something else Handy hockey!

@Automated_Unit_4937 very, yeah I have not checked to see if my receiver is 120 hz capable, in theory it is as it has the correct HDMI for it.

My Roku ultra on the other hand does not pass through video properly. May I ask what splitter did you use to rip the audio?

@Automated_Unit_4937 I avoid arc and earc like the plague. Every time I have dabbled with it. it ends up having problems. So I hook up all to the denon receiver, then pass thru video. I use a 5.2.4 Atmos setup. Some games are great with Dolby surround up mixing to Atmos...

I still think it's really funny how fan art is pretty much already plagiarism, and then everyone gets all crazy when the actual company that invented the stuff, accidentally basis something off of the fan created art... Seems like this is the third or fourth story I've seen like this in the last 10 years and it's quite funny to me.

@HugoGED I hope it is a reference to limiting the number of blue shells...

Such bad taste... Such a weird move to make this game the way they did.

@GameOverScreen lol. The mythical modern audience...

Star wars is over saturated in media. I totally dipped out of Star wars about 6 years ago.

I'll try it out... But dragging two mice around like I'm on a rowing machine does not sound fun

@Xansies I'm actually right there with you on the fur. It's an interesting design choice, I think I would have gone much more furry and less feathery. 😅

I have a feeling that they will have to fix it if they expect it to sell really well. I am really looking forward to playing this. But I won't buy it until they fix it up.

@ChakraStomps Amen on the extender. The mesh setups that are used in homes with consumer electronics are absolutely terrible. If you need to use an extender, make sure there is a ethernet cable connecting the router to the extender, and use unique Wi-Fi SSIDs on the base Wi-Fi and the extender. Otherwise it'll get caught in stupid loops of connecting reconnecting disconnecting to different nodes in your network. Mesh networking is a great idea in theory, but it really sucks on the consumer side.

@red_beard_smitty definitely not capped by The Nintendo switch, it must have something to do with your router or some kind of setting.

@Spoony_Tech that is staggeringly fast compared to the limits of the switch one.

I have gigabit internet, and I have it attached via Ethernet, and the Switch 2 seems to top out somewhere around 650 megabits per second. Which for a gaming console especially a handheld, is just mind-blowing.

@Johnny44 I get it. But I'm curious what are you expecting as better graphics?

Are you looking for:

Better materials? Higher geometry? Or more effects? Higher quality animation?

Reason I'm asking, it is currently my belief that most AAA developers are going the wrong direction in the graphics department. A lot of times I feel like they increase the geometry way too much, like seriously overboard. And in turn it hurts performance.

What are your thoughts on this?

@Metazoxan Amen.

It's a very good thing. Games are entertainment.

Now they can be ART. But I just hate it when one of the developers makes a political statement game, says it's art, but then the game is a fun, so the game doesn't sell, then they blame the consumers and players for not buying it.

Now if you want to make a political statement and make the game really really good, good for you and if it sells good for you.

There is several games that are somewhat political in nature, that are extremely good games and I support and play specifically because it's a good game not because I agree or disagree with their social message.

They must have faulty units, I was really surprised how cool the switch 2 runs.
