While I am personally excited for a new Mario Kart after 10ish years, I am slightly skeptical of the quality of the gameplay, as it seems a little cartoony, a little bit like Super Mario Strikers, where the game is fun for like 2 weeks then no one plays it ever again. What do y'all think?

Looks pretty different from any game we've seen yet. I guess they made it that way since mk8 is already compatible with the new console, so it needs to be something other than "yet another Mario Kart" to not be overshadowed by 8.

Maybe I'll pick it up in a couple years, but there's still more than enough games I haven't played on the Switch 1 for the steep price of the Switch 2 to be justified for me personally.
