This looks incredible. The tracks being connected is very cool.

Mario Kart with open world wasn't on my bingo list, but it looks great.
For $80, apparently?
While I’m not defending the price point ($80 is $80, JFC), after watching Nintendo Life’s hands on play of the game… I can see why Nintendo decided to have that as the price.
I’m definitely going for the bundle so I can avoid that price, however.
looks like we can bundle the game with a purchase of the switch 2 for an additional 50 bucks
It’s worth it . The number of hours you can play a Mario kart game is nearly limitless. Not saying it shouldn’t or should be that much but the cost to value on those game are really high.
What is it worth it - 600 doubloons for a kart game?
This is worth it if it came on the switch 1 too, theres no reason other than greed (literally evil greed, games are culture and a core for social integration in todays world). Mario Kart 8 was worth it 500 because it was times pre-covid and pre-2-class society. This might seem "radical" but its the bitter reality.
I want switch 2 to be successful, I loved the detail in the reveals - pacing, audio and logo design in these clips full of gameplay brought me to tears as a creative. Seeing artists still having the possibility to polish their crafts like that. I think my first paragraph has weighted in the balanced evaluation.
I just hope people will have good times with entertainment and either receive a product worthy their social features or at least include the switch 1 people, while they themselves deal with having no new gimmicks versions or reduced perfomance. Or at least hope people can find balanced entertainment with people who did not choose to buy themselves into products worth nintendo's stock
Saying there's "No reason other than greed" is just plain wrong.
Games have sat at the same general price point for an incredibly long time while inflation has continued to go up and up. It sucks but it was going to happen eventually. The alternative it to start pumping it full of microtransactions.
I'm way more content to get a full game at $80 than cramming it full of loot boxes and battlepasses.
600 includes the console. The point was missed
