Pause right until the russians figure out how to data dump it onto my pc.

Hope it's better than the previous Switch 1 version; it was missing so many features from the Wii Mario Kart...

Can’t believe someone actually downvoted you for being excited; I swear, heaven forbid you like something that others don’t.

I’m skeptical as to whether the open world aspect will add to (or detract from) the experience, but I’ll probably end up grabbing it few years down the line once my kid is old enough to appreciate it.

I'll wait for real reviews to come in. IGN is a lying piece of garbage and I don't trust their biased and probably bought opinion.

[warmaster@lemmy.world]

I can't wait for it to be perfectly emulated so that it can be preserved for eternity. Personally, I'm not interested in playing it.

I think it's for being excited about the Switch 2 and MKW despite it being sOoOOoo expensive. People are butthurt games are more money. Like, yeah it sucks that game prices are increasing but that's what entertainment does, it increases in price. Movie tickets have gone up. Concerts. Dining. I regularly have dates with my partner that cost what buying me and her MKW would cost and those last a few hours at best.

If you can't afford it then you can't. That sucks. Learn to save your money over time and buy it once you have it. If you can't then that means you probably shouldn't be spending the little you have on video games anyways.

I'll give you IGN is less than cool but the game will be quality. I can't think of a bad Mario Kart game. I can't even think of a mediocre MK game. They have all been great.

Well, with the system bundle it was only going to be $50 more. No way I was gonna pay $80 for it. With the stupid tariffs, who knows what's gonna happen?

Mario Kart 7 is mediocre, and a massive downgrade compared to DS.

MK7 was great! Critically and commercially. It was the best selling game on 3DS. Review scores between critics and users were all pretty high as well. I would say it's better than mediocre. Maybe for those chronically online...
