I thought it was a funny placeholder price to start with but apparently that's what they want for it 😂 There's a couple of neat things I wouldn't mind owning but for nowhere near that price

I'm so glad they kept it in and I'd love to see a retun to this mechanic, even if just an optional mode in Mario Kart World. The 2 characters and character specific specials, created a nice bit of strategy and utter choas on certain tracks, Baby Park with giant Banana's and Koopa Shells springs to mind.

When this comes to NSO I'll be playing the hell out of it

I'm just not that bothered, I bought Mario Kart 8 on Wii U and then again on Switch and its dlc on both platforms, so I spent way more on that game than the retail price of Mario Kart World, let alone the £35 that it's actually cost me.

When I'm now living in a world where a takeaway can easily cost upwards of £40 or when me and the Mrs go out for an evening for £100, a game that I'm going to play for a long time costing an extra £10 just doesn't even register as an issue

Switch 2 isn't even in the discussion for me, as whilst there are plenty of great games, the overwhelming majority are existing titles simply ported over but Mario Kart World and Fast Fusion both look amazing.

My favourite has to be Gamecube, with Wave Race, Star Wars, Super Monkey Ball and Luigi's Mansion all still looking great and remaining amongst my favourite games

Nothing for me yet but I think i may have had a couple of weeks gap before I last renewed NSO and I secured one at Argos anyway. But I do want to be able to get that Gamecube controller and an SD card

Ahh yes because when other publishers and platform holders raised the prices of their games, they immediately stopped selling dlc, season passes, battle passes, early access and everything else on top of that.

What deluded nonsense to suggest they can't offer dlc further down the line

I couldn't care less about achievements but come on, bring back the Wii shop music

All this fuss over it's price and it cost me £35 and might actually be the cheapest Mario Kart I've ever bought.

Whilst i obviously don't want prices to increase, even if this was £100, it'd still be easily worth it for me as a game I'm likely to be playing for many years to come

Opinion, lots of miserable people online are taking their own shine off the Switch 2 reveal.

Me, I'm loving what I'm seeing and can't wait to play Mario Kart

OLED is great but newer LCD screens can also look very good and are often brighter for HDR, plus OLED panels can and do suffer from VRR flicker to varying degrees

Never mind fancy rumble, why is nobody talking about GameShare? They're bringing back being able to play local multiplayer on 2 consoles with just one copy of the game and I don't see anyone talking about it

It's ok, I'm sure Donald Trump has a plan for how America will magically start to make all of its own electronics and games and consoles etc

@Danondorf on Nintendo's own site, Smyths and Argos didn't seem to get that memo

@Rykdrew it's got its own direct in a couple of weeks, so it may still have something like that in it

Got mine preordered today with the console, Mario Kart World looks incredible and I can't wait to play it

This was the reveal of the show for me, it's been a very long wait for a new 3D Donkey Kong and this looks exceptional

I'd imagine this will have a Switch 2 version or upgrade, so we were never likely to be given a release date until that's announced

So let me get this straight, they think that Mario Kart, which has been in the top 4 best selling games of every console its been on and top with Wii, Wii U, 3DS and Switch, won't be a slam dunk?

😂😂😂

Some of us have been playing Mario Kart 8 for over a decade and we're more than ready for a new entry

Finally, Nintendo might just copy what Sega did 30 years ago and use these new fangled hall effect sensors 😉

It's a bit sad that I've had controllers fail from Switch and other recent consoles, yet my nearly 3 decade old Saturn 3d pad and Dreamcast controllers still work perfectly fine

I'm excited for Switch 2 but it and the Steamdeck occupy different spaces, despite the form factor similarities and neither will have a significant impact on the others sales. I've considered the Steamdeck many times but it's not for me and not because I own a Switch but because I have a powerful PC and now a Quest 3 and I just don't know when I'd even use it

Can't say I'm that bothered, these are the weaker Star Wars games from that era, give me the Rogue Squadron/Leader and Shadows of the Empire over these any day

Banjo never rivalled Mario back in its heyday in terms of sales, sure someone could make a good Banjo game now but to suggest it can rival Mario is comical

I played The Witcher 3 elsewhere and it has some outstanding side quests, but as for what I've played on Switch, Tarrey Town in BOTW is a huge standout as you see it develop over time amd a certain relationship within

@Qwiff Mario Kart 9 was a far better choice at this point than MP4. We know Metroid exists for starters and will be on the current Switch but Mario Kart is a substantially bigger brand, with MK8 alone selling 4 times as much as the entire Metroid series

Just proving that once again, investors know absolutely nothing about video games

Finally a new Mario Kart, i can't believe it's been over a decade since the last new entry

Well that was anticlimactic, at least it looks like we're getting a new Mario Kart

Translated as "stop playing Mario Kart 8 online for free, buy our Switch, buy the game again and then pay us for our amazing (rubbish) online service"

I'd much rather see the games. We all know it's a slightly bigger Switch that'll run games better and is using 2 gen old Nvidia architecture, so just show me what games are coming, that's the important bit

It looks like a shi**y mobile game. I'm a big Star Trek fan but I'll never buy a game that looks like that

@NintenGuy yeah I was disappointed in the the Mario movie, it was just 90 minutes or so of ooh look, remember this from Mario World, now Smash Bros and now Mario kart just because, no real story and no heart.

I've just got back from seeing Sonic 3 and it's my favourite in the series, the setup feels a little rushed but the characters are all really good and Jim Carrey is having the time of his life

I can't even remember the last time I even browsed the eshop, it's easily the worst online store I've ever used. Sure the likes of Steam recieve as much rubbish as this does but there its far easier to filter out and the simple act of navigating it isn't a chore. Nintendo should be ashamed of themselves for what they've let their store become and I hope they do a far better job (or at least bother to even try) with whatever the Switch 2 has

I'm a big fan of Astro Bot and it's very obvious how much inspiration it takes from Mario amd as a fan of the genre, I'm very happy to see them doing so

I'm certainly not against Nintendo bringing their older games forward but they shouldn't be anywhere near full price releases.

That said I do hope it leads to a brand new entry for Donkey Kong and whilst this will never happen, I'd love to see a new entry in the visual style of the original games as I feel they still look so much better than this

I've got to say that EoW is one the most disappointing games I've played on Switch, with many issues that just drag the experience down. Sometimes Nintendo goes a bit too far in trying to change up a successful formula for the sake of it and this is one of those times.

I think this year in general I've played a lot of good games but nothing that has really stood out above the rest

@MirrorFate2 it's much worse on the Switch

I'd love a new Donkey Kong Country game with the visual style of the SNES originals, which still look way better than the bland HD port that's coming to Switch.

Those original games are still gorgeous and I'll always remember first playing the likes of Snow Barrell Blast as the snow storm moves in from the background until you're in a blizzard

"Especially one this good"

"but this is still a fantastic way to play over 50 classics"

I'm sorry but am I living in some kind of alternate reality? Whilst this is a great collection of games, the Switch version has atrocious input lag and is easily the worst way to play these games on modern consoles

The official timeline of nonsense, where in the real world these games aren't connected outside of a few directly to one another

Spoiler alert the game is nearly 28 years old and anyone with even the slightest interest in it, knows about this scene. Also Vader is Lukes dad, Arnie is the good Terminator in T2 and Columbo always arrests the murderer at the end of the show

The menu system for the echoes is awful and one of the main reasons why I stopped playing the game. No thought whatsoever was put into it.

It'd be so easy to fix by just having a favourites tab or even assigning a couple to buttons for quick access, or how about not giving us countless variations of pots, boxes and statues

It's standard Sega nonsense to start developing a game, only to sign an exclusivity deal with a console manufacturer that didn't even support the engine.

Personally I never liked the design of the characters in this, so I'm kind of glad it failed. Especially now that we got Frontiers which is rather good and that has bow been built upon with the sublime Shadow X Generations. It's taken them a while to find their footing with 3D Sonic but this is definitely the path they should continue down

From what I've seen of this, it seems the Dreamcast is actually the best use case scenario for it. On Switch it ranges from a nice little boost to basically no difference

@Mgalens yeah it's got nothing to do with NSO as Xbox is losing more games outside this collection, such as Virtua Fighter 2 and Crazy Taxi. To me it seems like they're gearing up to repackage them another way, or at least that's what I'm hoping for

@LadyCharlie what's this got to do with NSO? They're delisting these on all platforms with Xbox and Steam losing even more games such as Crazy Taxi and Nights

@NintonicGamer Sonic 3 and Knuckles isn't on this collection

@KayFiOS yeah it's utter garbage and has sound emulation issues on top of that

Hopefully this means we'll get a better collection and as much as I hate games being delisted, this one is poor on the Switch with near unplayable input lag

Got it at launch but found it to be really disappointing with several glaring issues

This is one of the worst aspects of the game and actually stops me from enjoying it, I can't believe they shipped it like this. Just assigning a 2 or 3 echoes to buttons, like you would items in previous games would make a huge difference. That and a favourite ls bar so you can effectively hide the 90% which are either useless or or literally needed once.

Finally don't limit the use of Link form, so many of this games issues would instantly be solved by simply being able to fight without the need of constantly having to summon something else to do so
