Thoughts on Mario Kart World
-
While I am personally excited for a new Mario Kart after 10ish years, I am slightly skeptical of the quality of the gameplay, as it seems a little cartoony, a little bit like Super Mario Strikers, where the game is fun for like 2 weeks then no one plays it ever again. What do y'all think?

It has some gimmicks that I don't think will stand the test of time, but mostly I think it'll be like 8 with some tweaks. It'll be fine, I think.

Seems interesting, but not for the price.

Too expensive

Everything I want was announced for "sometime in 2025", not launch day. It looks good though.

Looks like some of the biggest changes the series has ever seen. I'm excited for it, but like many others, not excited enough for the price they are asking right now.

Seemed fun but I noped out of everything the moment, I heard the prices.
Steam Deck OLED + Emulations is the way to go.

Looks pretty different from any game we've seen yet. I guess they made it that way since mk8 is already compatible with the new console, so it needs to be something other than "yet another Mario Kart" to not be overshadowed by 8.
Maybe I'll pick it up in a couple years, but there's still more than enough games I haven't played on the Switch 1 for the steep price of the Switch 2 to be justified for me personally.

I think it looked great. More variety, bigger races, a world to play around in, etc those are all winning ideas from where I'm sitting. Adding something like wall jumps fits in the Mario universe and could add some interesting skips on courses and things. I was very excited after that trailer.
Of course now that pricing has been revealed, all of that excitement has been sucked out of the room for me. I've got a Steam Deck in the mail right now and that's probably going to be it for me this next gen. Metroid 4 for the OG Switch might be my last Nintendo purchase

i'm pretty excited. i was disappointed by 8 and disapointed even more when we got it again on Switch instead of a new installment, with . one of the main things that bugged me was the kart customization that felt more like picking nerfs than buffs. having that eliminated alone makes the game 10x more appealing, and then this new rally mode seals the deal for me
...aside from the price like everyone else is saying. i'll gladly get it used, but if we all wait for it to go on sale used, there won't be any used copies to buy used! the comments in the gameplay streams nintendo did today where flooded with demands to drop the prices so i think everyone is on the same page. it'll be interesting to see in the coming months if nintendo budges

I don't see the appeal beyond for children.
Nintendo increasingly reminds me of Disney, pulling out the same old tired franchises for increasingly cynical cash grabs that prey on people's nostalgia.
"for all ages" and "for kids" are two different things

I'm not big on the idea of open world racing. Too me, driving between race tracks feels like a chore.
I've seen other racers do it, but I've never really delved into a game like that. Maybe once I do I'll really like it.
I do think grinding rails and wall jumping around looks pretty fun in MK. But it could end up gimmicky and unexicitng once you're used to.
Basically all a big 'wait and see' from my perspective.

Driving to tracks is 100% a chore. It's made me not enjoy any new racing game in the last 5 years.
I really hope this game has an option to skip that and jump right into a race.
I don't look forward to wrangling my family to drive to the same track just to start a race. I'm sure at least one of my kids would drive in the opposite direction because they think it's funny. -

As a Forza Horizon fan my curiosity is piqued. I like being able to shift vibes from an intense race to just cruising around the landscape, and Mario Kart is a very different style of racing so it'd be a very different experience

Agree 100%. From the trailer, at least, it looks like there's a separate "Free Roam" mode, and it will otherwise be normal Mario Kart. Also looks like they'll maybe have races that will span multiple tracks, which I can see being cool.

Looks like they had to do something different than Mario Kart 8 and they did. The game looks interesting.
If isn't interesting enough to buy, but then I figured I might sit this generation out.

Then don't buy it. Buying it tells them it's ok to keep raising prices.

It seems interesting but Sonic Crosswolds seems even better
