Got the Switch 2 Zelda Edition and having a blast with Mario Kart World.

I was worried with all the criticism on Reddit, Lemmy and general on the internet that the game would be such a letdown but I think exactly because of the criticism and that I never really had any expectations that the game is now really fun for me.

I like that the races are a bit chaotic and really love the KnockOut Tour thing. I also like the new animations and the way the game looks.

The only two things that I have to get used two are; the racing feels a bit slower and that drifting seems a little different than the previous game(s).

As for the Switch 2 itself, its nice! But I’ll be purchasing these third party grips. The console feels non-ergonomic (coming from a Steam Deck).

Can’t wait until Ocarina Remake is released and a month or two later will be getting Tears of Kingdom (or Bananza).

I’m also slightly hoping that Nintendo will be making a sequel of Mario Odyssey and Captain Toad Tracker.

    Don’t sleep on Kirby Air Riders. If you have the means to borrow it from a friend or library, try it out! Especially since you mention you like the chaotic MKW races- the chaos is turned up to 11 in this game.

    It’s unfortunately a divisive game, though, where according to everything I’ve read online you either love it or hate it, so I can’t comfortably recommend you drop cash for it without trialing it first. But as a veteran of the original I think it’s brilliant.
