@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club I was really disappointed when I saw the trailer for the game; mostly because I'm soured about the BotW open world formula, so I didn't want another open world in Mario Kart. We have to wonder at this point if Nintendo has ran themselves into a corner with the existence of MK8DX. It feels like the ULTIMATE Mario Kart. Whenever my brothers and I get together, we sit down to play MK8 and Smash Bros for at least 5-6 hours. MK8 is definitely my most played Switch game and I really love it.

Nintendo also ran themselves into a corner with the existence of Mario Maker. The development of Mario Wonder was so hectic due to existence of Marker because that game was considered the ultimate 2D Mario experience. They were basically throwing any idea into a hat and trying to somehow incorporate it into Mario Wonder just so it could be slightly different than Maker.

This might be a hot take but I honestly feel that MK8DX was so complete, they should have just kept expanding on it with the Switch 2. I know people would have complained that the game is 10+ years old but if it ain't broke...
A 60 FPS for multiplayer would have been really nice. More Battle modes, too. They could have taken the tracks from World and added it to 8.
At this point, I don't see myself getting the Switch 2 unless a new Animal Crossing or Kid Icarus comes out. Nintendo is fucking up or doing too many changes to all franchises I care about. Zelda is no longer a console seller to me, for example, because I much prefer the linear style games.

Nintendo might pull a New Horizons with MK World, though. Meaning they will "fix" the game with patches but a negative first impression stays with the game forever. In the case of New Horizons, I felt they never fixed shit anyways. The whole game remains a Redditor screenshot simulator to me. Hoping they will unfuck the franchise and go back to the roots more. ​​
