I don't get why they didn't just include this with the base game and charge the same price as Mario Kart World as even without this Bonanza is more worth the asking price than Mario Kart World is.
Hopefully this is better than Mario Kart World as that was a huge disappointment for me thankfully Donkey Kong Bonanza is filling the void on my Switch 2.
Is Nintendo only offering 64GB cards for 3rd party developers as I find it hard to believe they put Donkey Kong Bonanza which is only around 8GB on a 64GB card one that's a waste and two a lot more expensive than a lower capacity card.
So this could have been in the game for free then very shady. Also thought they might have included it free for people on the Nintendo online expansion pack as it is will only get it on same at best.
@Suketoudara Only did a few as there's no check list for which ones you've completed it just seemed unfinished I did a few git all the trophies and that's me done with the game it's one of the weakest in the series so didn't care to go back to it some dlc might tempt me but we shall see 🙈
One of the worst reviews I've seen mentions nothing on the graphics which are strangely poor even worse than the PS4 version not to mention only 30fps why is it not matching max settings of the PC as it's only streaming from a super computer anyway.
I was literally sat there thinking is there a new game out Mario Kart World was not that expected so the title to the article was odd nice it's back top but likely due to it being a pack in and lack of Switch 2 games
Donkey Kong will stay top until FC 26 knocks it off in a couple of months time then it will be a battle between Pokémon and FC 26 for the end of the year.
@Dunkin Mario Kart World is not better than Mario Kart DS,Double Dash, Wii or 8 it's a fun game but not better than those and Donkey Kong would have been a much better choice for the launch game.
@lightningbolt79 Can't of played many Mario Karts then it's a fun game don't get me wrong but Mario Kart 8, Double Dash, Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario Kart are all better than it. Donkey Kong should have been the launch game not a racer.
@USWITCH64 Because it was the main launch game so based on reputation we thought it would blow our sucks off but it didn't. Tracks change after each lap this should be an option and there is no check list in the open world mode so you don't know what is left to do in each area it felt a little unfinished still a good game though but Donkey Kong should have been the launch game and Mario Kart should have released later in the year.
How is this not 10/10 Mario Kart World got a 9 yet that is one of the weakest games in the Mario Kart series and feels unfinished. This should have been the launch game not a racer.
Been coming for a while the company has been really badly managed especially the Xbox arm why would they buy Activision if they were planning on pulling out the console race anyway and not making it Xbox exclusive.
@Kiz3000 That's the issue the games have been out years I suppose you can now play them on the go so there's that. Plus Mario Kart I don't think was a good choice for a launch game basically a racing game and one of the weaker games in the Mario Kart series for me a solid 7.5 imo.
I think the screen is great don't see what his issue is loving my Switch 2 so far just needs more games if it wasn't for backwards compatibility and lack of competition it would have flopped hard.
Mario Kart World may be one of the weakest games in the Mario Kart series but no surprise to see it selling well as it's still fun regardless and the main launch game.
I can't believe Nintendo would drop the ball like this they obviously intended to have it docked but didn't somehow check they had the right hdmi protocol which is 2.1. Bad enough the console name is bad being called Switch 2 instead of Super Nintendo Switch but now this come on Nintendo.
Got mine preordered in Currys luckily got the Mario Kart Bundle the Switch 2 Pro Controller plus Switch 2 Micro SD Card can't wait for launch to play Mario Kart.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
Absolutely ripoff for remasters of two retro games. Sony remastered the Uncharted Trilogy on PS4 and charged half the price.

Surprised to see Mario Kart World so low but then it is one of the weakest in the series.

Re: UK Charts: And Just Like That, Mario Kart World Is Back In The Lead
Mario Kart World being top is hardly a shock as its bundled with the console and most are going to grab it as there little on the Switch 2 still.
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.2.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Finished the game ages ago short and sweet and a bit too easy not a patch on other Mario Kart games in the series especially Mario Kart DS.

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) - Absolutely Smashing, But Can It Beat Mario Odyssey?
@Ralizah Exactly if the developer didn't come out and say that performance wasn't perfect they give this game a 10.

Re: The First Review For Donkey Kong Bananza Is In
Those scores mean nothing then if mario Kart World got 36 from them and that is a 30 at best. One of the weaker games in the series imo.

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza, Like Mario Kart World, Was Initially Planned For Switch 1
