How do you think Mario Kart World will handle future DLC tracks?

Mario Kart 8 got a ton of post-launch support with DLCs that basically doubled the number of tracks—from 48 to 96.

Mario Kart World, on the other hand, only has 28 confirmed tracks so far (maybe a few more we haven’t seen yet). Given how insanely well Mario Kart sells—especially on the Switch—it feels like a no-brainer that they’ll add more tracks down the line.

But here’s the thing: since World is an open-world Mario Kart game where all tracks are physically connected within one big world, it’s hard to imagine how they’d add new tracks the same way. They can’t just drop them in like in MK8, because every track is also a part of the open-world layout.

So how do you think they’ll handle it? Expand the world? Add new areas? Or maybe separate DLC worlds entirely? Curious what you all think.

With the chat feature being announced on the Nintendo direct, I was wondering if external microphones/ headset mics will work. We were only shown the mic on the console working and Nintendo’s weird about something’s.

So I live in Canada and I tried to go to my local GameStop Canada to trade in my switch OLED and games to get credit to make it cheaper for when I preorder hopefully next week and the store manager told me they will not take in store credit for preorders right away and that you need to put down $250.00 down deposit of either cash or card and then use store credit to pay it off, really annoying and frustrating as they didn't used to do this when I did the ps5 pre order so this is a heads up for my fellow Canadians I wish they would put that on the website.

I wonder what we might really end up paying for a Switch 2?

Will you be able to play games like Minecraft, rocket league, Fortnite, etc on the switch 2?

Not my vid. Please see.

We’ll just have to wait a bit longer to end relationships due to Mario Kart World🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have both Physical Games and Digital Games. I do remember seeing some news that most of the games of Switch will be compatible with Switch 2 but did we get more news on it?

Also same question for NSO Expansion Pack. I bought it for Switch. Can it be transferred to Switch 2 as well? Like by account/data Transfer etc.

They just shouldn't tell people when the do this stuff apparently. Leave it off the front of the box like Sony and Microsoft.

Is it a fact? I heard it will cost like 1000 bucks totall or sth like that

Is anyone ever going to mention the Switch 2 without complaining about the price? We get it is expensive let's move on to something else now please.

The whole idea with the packaging and disclaimer was to make the Switch 2 enhanced versions idiot-proof, but I guess they didn't go far enough and needed to put, "does not include a download or code" on the front.

All it says on the packaging is that it, "includes the Switch game (which all these enhanced editions are) and the Switch 2 upgrade pack," (meaning all the enhancements, not a code or download) are included. Then it says, "upgrade pack sold separately" so customers are aware they don't have to buy the new version of the game and can instead upgrade their Switch 1 version.

It was meant to be intuitive.

It's not really about the price it's more that I'm just not excited enough about it. What I'm looking for is genuine innovation and fresh gaming experiences. I want something that truly stimulates the mind something that engages the frontal cortex and makes you feel like you're in the game, living it in real time. I’m talking about real immersion, where the events feel thrilling, the emotions feel authentic, and maybe even moments of romance or deep connection. I want a console that goes beyond upgraded specs and graphics something that redefines what gaming can be.

At the onset…the increased prices are jarring considering the potential trickle impact on the rest of the industry.

That being said, has anyone considered the “Game Sharing” side of this and how that will all work?

As a parent with multiple switches in the home I had several games I HAD to buy multiple copies of so people could play (animal crossing, splatoon3, MarioKart 8, etc…). $60x3 is WELL over the $80 price tag anticipated for switch 2 games.

Will a game like MarioKart World be playable on S1 with game sharing? Guessing NOT.

Either way…if I have multiple devices in a home I now only have to buy 1 copy of a game and can share with my household. That is actually sort of a bargain.

The industry impact is scary…yes, but this side of it actually makes a LOT of sense.

Thoughts?

ok... I know we're in the era of $70 games... and yes it's "only" $10 away from the $60 games we were used to. but I for one have NOT bought a $70 game (I kinda did but only because a friend offered to pay half of the game for me for my birthday). BUT $80 per game, if you think about it is $20 shy of $100... yes you can say $70 was $30 shy of $100 BUT you can do a lot with $30. but with $20... that's basically a fast food meal... or very close (including taxes). what I'm saying is how many of you are ok with paying close to $100 for a slandered game?

I have stayed away from most special and collector's edition games because they were too close to $100 (in many cases over $100). I just can't afford this anymore. also seeing the system may be over $500. I might've been ok with buying the system for $500 BUT adding $80 per STANDARD games? I may have to quit gaming... I bought a bunch of games for the switch so I may be fine playing what I got. you know? ...catching up with my backlog...

I'm Canadian and the switch 2 here is $700, but only about $450 canadian if I buy it from Japan.

If I do that, would it work Just like a normal switch 2?
