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?

I think it looked great. More variety, bigger races, a world to play around in, etc those are all winning ideas from where I'm sitting. Adding something like wall jumps fits in the Mario universe and could add some interesting skips on courses and things. I was very excited after that trailer.

Of course now that pricing has been revealed, all of that excitement has been sucked out of the room for me. I've got a Steam Deck in the mail right now and that's probably going to be it for me this next gen. Metroid 4 for the OG Switch might be my last Nintendo purchase
