I like how this article does not talk about the anti consumer practices engaged in by Nintendo, that might push some customers away from their consoles. /s Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA. There is already a switch in my household, but the price along with the ability to remotely brick the device, is what made our household pass on the switch 2. We bought a second steam deck instead.

Mario-Kart-at-home by the way: supertuxkart.net
Buy now for $0 and get Rocket-League-at-home for free on top!
(It's one of the game modes in SuperTuxKart. 🙃)

But yeah, $80 is kind of wild, even just because it's fundamentally still a cart game. You pretty much need a group to regularly play it with, otherwise you won't get your money's worth out of that.

    I've seen this evolve over the years. Time to give it a shot.

    I actually reinstalled it myself after writing that comment. 😅

    I only really started to fully appreciate it, when I learned that drifting gives you a boost. So, if you're going around curves, you pretty much always want to drift, which then kicks your speed up once you stop drifting. Maintaining a higher speed than your car normally goes, is vital for beating the harder difficulties.
