So, the NS2 Direct showed us a presentation of the new Mario Kart game, which will be called Mario Kart World and will be the Switch 2's launch title. A Direct about the game itself will be aired on April 17th. What do you think of this new MK game? Share your opinions! I personally really dig it! You can drive offroad to explore possible shortcuts to use during races. But the thing that got me in love with MKWld the moment I saw it, was grinding. Yes, you can grind on rails now!

I mean it’s neat we’re finally getting a new Mario Kart, but other than this and DK Bananza I was super disappointed. I was gonna save up for the Switch 2, but noticing the price and the lack of solid titles that aren’t just ports, I’m not really seeing the point. I’m also American, so due to some silly political reasons the Switch 2 will likely be a hundred dollars more or so, and I’m not sure it’s gonna be worth saving that money up so far. Hopefully they at least release something new, though I do feel Nintendo has been on a decline for the past 8 years or so since the console launched.

Because I know they do this to lure people away from emulation. "See, you don't need emulation anymore for good graphics/performance! Just play TotK on the NS2!" Better than taking down emulators. Oh wait. And 120 FPS. Now I want to see Kaze get a stable 120 FPS in RtYI. Nintendo's RAMbus has more vroom vroom than Kaze's. Not that I, having grown up with the DS family, care about 4K or 120 FPS. Lag is bad, but 120 FPS is unnecessary. But cool that it's a thing.

Yeah, the list is constantly growing and isn’t going to stop, due to Japan being a big manufacturer of cars Trump is targeting them to force people to buy American cars for some obvious reasons… On the other hand, I think it’s neat the switch has 4K, but I mean idk how much of a difference that really makes in the long run. Also yeah they definitely ain’t stopping emulation if they’re selling slightly modified switch one games at full price on a console that already can play them  I do hope they’re going to announce new Mario and mainline Zelda games, but I’m kinda worried since the last few have been kinda disappointing  I think at the moment what Nintendo probably needs is a new series of more unique games, since their staple series are running a little dry now… Or they could also bring back an old series that’s had a lot of attention, ok sure that would go well. _________________________ Hacks Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqA5CgsW-CTfD56DCa2kvYw/channels |

Posted by Staryu Trek Posted by Luigimushroom yeah, they really need to, we need a new game to get hyped for switch 2 new legendary starfy when? I’d say kinda, we got tropical freeze about 10 years ago, but I mean we also haven’t gotten a Mario kart in 10 years other than a mobile game and a remake so I don’t think that’s quite what was needed. Plus DK has been in plenty of other games since Tropical Freeze. What I think we really need is something like a new Mother or a Kid Icarus game, Nintendo has plenty of old franchises that are still pretty noticed they’ve pretty much left behind in the past 20 years. On the download play thing I’m really upset with them acting like it’s this amazing new feature when it was on their past 2 handhelds pre switch, both of which did relatively well, with the DS being one of the best selling handhelds EVER… It’s nice it’s back but I think it’s clear they didn’t have a lot to say about the switch 2 to get people to actually buy one, so they tried to rebrand download play as something new _________________________ Hacks Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqA5CgsW-CTfD56DCa2kvYw/channels |

What are ya guys' opinions on the price tag? $80 digital, $90 physical, $500 bundle?
Oh, also, here's the character roster. Funny how it mostly has enemies of Mario.

Well, I miss the good ol' days of lowly-priced video games. T-T And no, piracy ain't gonna work either. That won't make Nintendo lower the price, just take down more ROM sites. If you want the game for a low price, just don't get the game at all (neither legally nor illegally) and hope for the big N to lower the price to fifty bucks or buy second-hand. And then we still have the problem of NSO being a paid subscription service unlike good ol' Nintendo Network... T-T "To boldly glitch where no one has glitched before" - Staryu Trek Hover!

You actually have two options to get a Switch 2 Similar to the Wii U situation, the Switch 2 offered a better resolution, interesting games that'll release along w/ it, but its concept is the same, and the price is not tempting at all to upgrade from its predecessor. I hope it won't have a small game catalog but i doubt it's powerful enough to defeat the PS5 or XBOX Series in any way. I would rather save up my money for the new rhythm heaven and tomodachi life games coming soon. _________________________ I make SM64 Based videos (Machinimas), go check it out! My YouTube Channel |

As my dad best put it, inflation is bad. He had it worse when he was younger with SNES games, they were a little under the same price in the 90’s, which equates to about 110$ in today’s money. I’m not super happy with the prices yeah, but I mean special unique cartridges are a little harder to manufacture than DVD disks and Bluerays, so it definitely comes with a price, especially since these are all the big mainline console games they’re trying to sell and not portable games. It stinks but it could be much worse honestly. I’m more ticked about the console price tbh because there isn’t much it actually adds to justify such a price… _________________________ Hacks Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqA5CgsW-CTfD56DCa2kvYw/channels |

If you have good modelers, creating open-world maps shouldn't cost that much time (and therefore money), and I'm sure the modelers at Nintendo can model better than most modders. GAME FREAK's 'nother story, though. The reason the Pokémon games never got the 3D games to be either good-looking or well-performing, is because they kept firing their modelers and hiring new ones...

You're not thinking about the whole. Making an open-world map isn't just about modeling, it's also about design. You have to account for everything the player can do because the gameplay/story isn't strictly scripted. You have to try and make all the different elements that MIGHT ever interact work properly. Even just making a game with branching routes is a lot of work, so imagine having to fill a gigantic map with fun objects and npcs to keep the player engaged. In many areas, breath of the wild is very empty and boring. Despite this, programming the game was a darn challenge due to having to render a zillion things such as every blade of grass (the grass was the single hardest element in botw dev in fact which is well-documented trivia you can look up).
Making an open-world is a commitment because you are creating a huge area that has to be fun to play and replay (partly because backtracking will require you revisit areas a lot which is boring) in any order. You have to make the entire design work, which is a lot of decisions. You also have to balance out costs in order to maximize profits, you aren't doing this for free. I've heard that many rookie indie devs try to make open worlds not realizing how big of a commitment that is and go bankrupt. |

I want to play as the no 1 creature to throw off cliffs. T'sucks Scuttlebug probably won't be playable, I want to get 24 Scuttlebugs racing and call it a jamboree.

Hmmm, good question,I don't have the game but you can be sure I'll go with biker or aurora Rosalina 80% of the time. And you, do you have a main?
