This looks like MK alright.

Yeah this just looks like the switch Mario Kart, it does have better IQ and I know its open world and all that but when you are actually racing its just...Mario Kart 9 but at 80 bucks

Yah it's very crisp but watching them do laps they didn't really reinvent the driving much. Should've added a campaign and went full Diddy Kong Racing imo. Hopefully there's something more to the game.

Prime 4 looks pretty good.

So I hear the game carts don’t physically have the games on them is this true? If so… this is some “always on” Xbox level fukkery.

Prob the 3rd party games will be like that. Consider how well Nintendo optimizes their games especially with file size, I doubt there is an online download for those minus patches.

I'm sure not even people in wheelchairs want to play this thing

They made ARMS again basically. A bad tech demo to sell and to justify the new joy con features.

 

[Mandarin Duck]

Serious question: Why is Nintendo not interested in creating a library we can purchase all their previous games from like they had with the Wii?

I had the Nintendo Online service for a year but it's just not worth it.
