I didn't forget, I'm a straight up mario kart freak!! I'm nasty! I've played Mario Kart 8 for almost 11 years and my crazy ass needs that new game!!! Yummy yummy yummy!!
hopefully they show off something to do during free roam cuz as of now, that aspect of the game looks boooooooooring
the full extent of ground tricking and wall riding has the potential to give Mario Kart World just as long of a competitive lifespan as Mario Kart 8. $80 price point aside (it's been discussed to death.. 80 is too much but it's 50 with the bundle which is fantastic), this looks like bar-none the most high budget and content rich im-house Nintendo game ever made.
They've got my ass. I'm waiting for American pre-orders, got my cash set aside, and I'm really looking forward to it. Mario Kart 8 was such a multi-generational experience for me. I've played it with high school friends, online friends, college friends, family, my partner... I'm hoping to make tons of memories with Kart World too. My gf and I have sunk at least 200 hours within the past few years, so I'm sure Mario Kart World will be well worth the $50 pricetag

i think i see where the 80 dollar price tag stems from now
with the switch 2 on the horizon, i really got a random wave of depression over the kh games not being natively available on the switch systems.
such perfect games to play on the go. oh how i woulda loved to fight the lingering will inbetween my work breaks...

that's the footage they used to show off the game?
yeesh...
yeesh...
they brought back paul rudd from the snes commercial from the 90s 
no price increase on the system or games in the US = happy launchpad! I do think the peripherals are TOO expensive and I won't be buying a pro controller at launch. Back paddles are cool, but fuck Nintendo's switch controllers, generally speaking. I've gone through 3 pro controllers over the course of the switch due to drift issues, issues I've never faced with Sony hardware or previous Nintendo hardware.
Given that my current pro controller and joycons will work with the new system, I'll wait and see if the lack of a dedicated C button and inability to wake the system from a distance are deal breakers. I wanna make sure the new controller is of a decent quality before sinking a disgraceful 85 bucks on it.

DLSS is aiight! I've got an RTX 4060 and I've gotten some use out of it. It's pretty good. But it's not perfect, and there are certain elements of it that can be damn unsightly, especially on games with lots of granular detail. I can only hope developers can strike a delicate balance with its use on Switch 2.
dlss is very impressive tech for sure
a lotta people really like to get into the nitty gritty of graphical fidelity when it comes to games but as long as it looks and runs well, i couldnt give a rat's ass
also i think my tv passively upscales so that its almost always outputting 4K so it won't make a difference to me when playing docked

2.2 million preorders in japan alone 
the switch 1 sold 2.74 million worldwide in its first month.
the ps5 sold 4.5 million globally in its first month. and nintendo's secured over 2.2 million in japan alone??

money conversion is a bit complicated.
converting yen to a stronger currency like the euro or the american dollar will always appear lower but that isn’t necessarily because it’s cheaper, but because markets in japan, like nintendo, generally price their products domestically based on local market expectations. the “cheaper price” is to maintain strong local market dominance and to encourage consumers to opt in for early adoption.
in japan, the switch 2 costs 50,000 yen, while the average monthly income is 471,000 yen. that means it would take about 10.6% of the average monthly income to afford one.
in the united states, the switch 2 is priced at $450, and the median monthly income is $4,750. so it would cost around 9.5% of the average income there.
so when you compare affordability based on income, the switch 2 isn’t actually cheaper in japan. in fact, it’s slightly more affordable in the united states, or at the very least, about the same.
the “lower price” isn’t really a factor here. but let’s see what the number of preorders will be in the states now that they’re available in the west.
