No one shall be brought before our LORD David Bowie without the true and secret knowledge of the Photoshop. For in that time, so shall He appear.
They announced this direct before they announced the price.
Anyway, I'm stoked for this!

Multiple worlds with their own huge map or they can get out. Mario Kart Campaign mode. Roadmap with new content that is offered for free.
I think they will just talk about online features I have no interest in.

Wow, I was actually thinking this too when they showed it. I hope we get a similar open world game with yoshis that's their version of Red Dead Online.

Normally you'd be right except that the bundle only features the digital game. I'm a physical collector and they kinda got me by the jewels here. I mean, I'm still gonna buy it because it looks great, but that extra $30 to have my own real copy of the game is kinda painful.They don't need to justify anything. MK8 sold over 70m copies for 60 dollars each, has a 92 metacritic, and has consistently charted in the top 10 game sales and often much higher each week for the last almost decade. I refuse to check but it is probably the highest selling Nintendo game of all time if you don't count pack ins and maybe even if you do.
If there was ever a game that didn't need to justify a higher price tag vs other games, it's Mario Kart and Grand Theft Auto.
This is to show people who are Nintendo/Mario Kart fans what the game will be like.
Also, if you buy the bundle the game is only 50 dollars, lol. EVERYBODY who buys Switch 2 should also buy this game so there really is no excuse to play 80 dollars for it. Just buy the bundle and get it for 50 dollars, cheaper than even MK8 is today. Reread that last sentence carefully as it is very important and relevant here. There is no reason at all not to buy the bundle and get this game for 50 dollars. If you tell me "I'll buy the console today and MK later" NO, just save your money and buy the bundle. This is why rich people keep being rich. Be wise with your investment and get the game via bundle for a mere 50 dollars. Your arguments are as weak as well water.

I'm liking what I see in Mario Kart so far with the 24 players in a race, free roam where we see other civilian npc driving, walking etc. Hope they show even more unexpected stuff.

well instead of playing greats, make some greats. And good luck.
I saw a clip of some Toads that were by a track and when the kart hit them it bounced up, so it might be possible to have Main characters out in the world.

Anyone think there could be no charged DLC, but they have Battle Passes? Or Season passes?

Nintendo needs to stop advertising their consoles and games
People may be tricked into wanting them

Don't think DK ends up being good enough for a direct.
Would love to be wrong.
What's up with this early mourning stuff Nintendo?

Well each of us in my place had different tastes, me my self still using pc and ps5 occasionally, and we only unified by switch currently, good for laugh and bonding team (more often bullied each other for laugh)
Thanks for the wish anyway

The Crew 2 and 3 will be better comparisons, because FH was still just different forms of racing or drfiting in almost all events.

This argument boils down to "the game sold a lot, therefore $80 is justificable"They don't need to justify anything. MK8 sold over 70m copies for 60 dollars each, has a 92 metacritic, and has consistently charted in the top 10 game sales and often much higher each week for the last almost decade. I refuse to check but it is probably the highest selling Nintendo game of all time if you don't count pack ins and maybe even if you do.

It doesn't mention the PS4 graphics and 20 years old gameplay.

One direct for one game? $90 for a game is insanity, everbody will buy it used, or use it as an example not to buy games.

$90? What currency are we talking about here?

Both will get their own Direct since both are their flagship titles. Metroid still doesn't have a date, Donkey Kong is clearly later on since Mario Kart will release first.

There is no scenario where I can imagine roaming around in an open world Mario Kart being fun

There is a UFO you can get beamed up into and control in the game, so we'll be flying around the map one way or another.

Unless they showcase it's a Mario Kart RPG or there will be no paid DLC I find it hard to justify that price. But we shall find out soon.

To be fair, it's the only Nintendo game at launch. There are quite a few third parties ones I'll want at launch day for Switch 2. That being said, if Nintendo were releasing this and Donkey Kong on the same day...I'd sooner buy Donkey Kong than Mario Kart. I get bored of them pretty fast.

woked up coffing i guess i will stays up for thirs
Can't wait for this, but was hyped for the switch 2 reveal direct , but disappointed as there was only Mario kart and donkey Kong new Nintendo switch 2 games, and only Mario kart new from Nintendo on release, was expecting peeks at a lot of Nintendo switch 2 only games in development not a load of third party games which already played on ps5 or pc, so hopes are up for this showing , but got a gut feeling gonna be coming away disappointed, I can play Mario kart but get bored easily with it, so wanting to see a good single player campaign
