I think it’s fun to drive around some areas, but there definitely should be more of an incentive to explore the areas. Definitely more fun than I thought it would be, regardless.
Yes! I was running out of things to not care about! Jokes aside, this game just doesn’t look like it’s for me. Props to those who are looking forward to it, though.
Tour is in last where it deserves to be, but: 1. MKL straight up shouldn’t have been included, since it’s hard to compare it to the other entries 2. Super Circuit still looks leagues better than the first game 3. World being at number 5 is downright baffling. It seems like most people only played the battle mode 4. 7 was not the first game in the series to have a number at the end; that would be 64 5. Was Mission Mode in DS really that good?! Wii is way more fun (I have played both) Just some facts and opinions (or fact and opinions)
I gave it a 9; Free Roam is really fun for a quick romp, but it doesn’t really have anything worthwhile to keep you playing. Grand Prix is also fun, as usual, but the whole “traveling from one course to another” gimmick doesn’t work that well, since you don’t reach the destination until the last lap, meaning you barely get to experience the track. Battle Mode is kind of disappointing. What it does offer is fun, but the lack of different modes does not do well for it in terms of replayability. Still a great time, though. But Knock-Out Tour is way more than a great time. It’s a total blast. 24 racers, with 4 getting cut after each lap, with 6 laps across different tracks, it all comes together to make up one of the best modes in a Mario Kart game.
@AstroTheGamosian If you registered, then you should get an invite at some point, though when that will be is up to Nintendo. I haven’t heard anything about them no longer allowing people to register interest, but I imagine they intend to start flat out selling the console on their website rather than using the invitation system soon.
Loving it; the build quality is great and the screen is gorgeous (and this is coming from someone who has the OLED Switch). MKW is fun, and the upgraded BOTW is also fantastic, though I do vastly prefer Mario Odyssey. Battery life is a bit disappointing, though. Also wish there were more exclusive games, but it won’t be long before they start piling up.
I mistook mine for hot dogs, so I put them in buns and swallowed them whole. Nintendo has really been slacking off lately when it comes to preventing stuff like that from happening, but of course I can’t file a lawsuit. At least the Joy-Cons tasted better than the cartridge.
This is what I got from it: “OMG EVERYONE YOUR CONTROLLER STICKS ARE BROKEN BECAUSE THEY LOOK LIKE THE OLD ONES THAT WERE CRAP BUY OUR REPLACEMENT STICKS IF YOU’RE A CHAD” Something like that
@Henmii Excuse me?! This all started with Switch 2?! The Switch in its first year was basically a repackaged Wii U, and they were selling a bunch of old games at full price. NSO did not seem worth it at the time. And the Expansion Pack was even worse. And the Switch is still being sold at full price at $150 less than a Switch 2, which, besides the abysmal battery life, is a huge upgrade. Also, the Joy-Cons are much, much better. They actually stick to the console! The Switch 1 Joy-Cons, while cool at the time, have not held up. And those are $80 compared to $95 for the Switch 2 versions, which again, are vastly superior. Sorry for rambling, but I just don’t see why so many people think this new generation of Nintendo is so awful when Nintendo during the Switch 1 generation was easily much more money-hungry.
Have barely used it in handheld, but it still drains quick enough that I’m 100% getting a power bank ASAP. Put me down for the revision with better battery life.

@Dev-N The lack of a music player is a crime as of right now (if it gets added to Nintendo Music, then I won’t complain).

Will they ever put SSBU music on the thing, even if it’s just the original tracks and not the licensed stuff?

Re: Hardware Review: Nintendo Switch 2 - A Faster, Slicker, Sexier Switch
Loving it; the build quality is great and the screen is gorgeous (and this is coming from someone who has the OLED Switch).
