Wasn't too keen on DK. Looked like a Skylanders button mash bonanza. I hope that it's not EPD 3D Mario team doing it. Was also weird seeing DK without a David Wise sequence soundtrack.

Day 1 sure, I'll be happy with that Mario Kart, but they really didn't show much... and, hello, the price please.

Just checked my emails. I've been selected for the pre-orders. Looks like those thousands of hours playing Splatoon 2 and Tetris 99 really paid off.

Mario Kart World will retail for £75 :D

DK will be £66.

Strewth.

I haven't played computer games for decades but I remember loads of games retailing at £40-50 even back then - is £66 really that much for a game considering how much more quality there is compared to 20 years ago (not to mention inflation?).

For some reason, Switch 2 has attracted my attention and I might buy my first console since the Game Cube :D

The economics of games are weird, but distribution costs should be much lower. Digital games are essentially free to distribute, yet have the same cost as physical games.

£60+ definitely STINGS.
 
£75 seems very high for Nintendo, especially if they do DLC for it (MK). £66 seems reasonable for the reasons you cover, but given new games go for £50 at the moment it's still a big jump.

This is actually a very powerful system so price-wise it does make sense.
 
I don't expect I'll be getting this straight away after all 🥴
 
I had to leave when they said up next was some game with "dragon" in the title. I'll need to catch up with what they did next after the gym.
 
Watching the rest now. DK does indeed look good now that it's not just in the caves. In the water with all the greenery looked gorgeous.
 
So what's the deal with the new Mario kart? Is it open world or just massive levels? Either way it looks amazing.
