Does this mean you can insert the red joycon in the blue side and vice versa? If so that would be really cool but then why have the color coordination in the first place?
I hope it's a hundred piece statue of a mario kart for that price. I wasn't really a fan of the way mario looks in the cheaper sets anyway, not that I'm all too interested in either personally haha
With all this silence I feel like they are not prepared this year to focus on launching switch 1 games alongside switch 2 games but maybe they aren't saying anything to get more people eager for switch 2. I'm betting we won't get a direct until after the switch 2 presentation let's see if I'm right or wrong. (Besides a Pokemon direct this month)
I'm really looking forward to seeing more courses and graphic upgrades. The jump from MK Wii and 3ds to MK8 visually was jaw dropping back on the Wii U.
One thing though is Nintendo always bundles Mario Kart as a Christmas package so there is a chance Mario Kart wouldn't be a launch title since it would be a killer holiday title and has proven to be time and time again. If they release Mario Kart in the summer that would mean they would need something better than Mario Kart to be the holiday title which I don't think is possible. But they could also release the switch 2 in the summer and have Mario Kart be the winter release which is frankly possible since Mario Kart 9 was just teased and not confirmed to be a release title. Prime 4 might be a better release title than an October release. Anyway I'm rambling it's all just theorizing it doesn't matter.
As someone who was hoping for a new F-Zero entry early on for switch 2, Mario Kart with an absurd amount of racers seems like a great compromise. (Plus it sounds like we'll be getting another Fast RMX game near launch)
If you're on the fence about getting it NL did give this a perfect 10 back in the day so you will like it if you put yourself in the shoes of the Wii era. (That being said I personally like the originals and Tropical Freeze better but everyone has different tastes.)
It beat year of Luigi easy! and honestly it should get extra points for Sega successfully making a bold marketing move which doesn't happen all too often.
All games in the recent tab are p*rn, it's disgusting that Nintendo has let it get to this point, any reputable company would have dealt with this immediately
They really need to work on their communication, they can't just outright say 'we're not a retro company".
Instead it's better to phrase it as: "While we're always looking for opportunities to appeal to our loyal fans, currently our vision for Sega is quickly approaching a new direction in order to compete in the modern gaming space. Right now there are no plans in place for new Sega mini consoles but it is something we are still open to later on if the demand is still there." Would be much more professional.
And I thought the NX rumors were out of control back in the day, we just keep seeing new methods that say the same information, it's just a switch but bigger
I feel like it would be silly to not take advantage of a holiday partner showcase but I don't know what game Nintendo is playing right now so who knows
Welp ever since Sonic Origins I figured this was coming. Although removing this means our only legitimate emulated copy of Sonic 3 and Knuckles with the original music will be gone. But yeah because of the input lag as @KayFiOS mentioned it's definitely one of my least preferred ways to play these games.
I'm glad they at least communicated an official response instead of keeping us on our toes. Although I still don't get why there were so many teases with it if it wasn't going to be announced in October. (Like "there will be no news about the switch successor in this presentation" what was the deal with that if they weren't going to announce it this year?)
Even though Origami King sold over 3 million sales I'm pretty sure Nintendo will see more success in a new paper mario game that is a mashup of ttyd's gameplay style and origami king's writing. Also I think paper mario fans are more excited to buy a new game versus a remake.
