This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

looks like we can bundle the game with a purchase of the switch 2 for an additional 50 bucks

This looks incredible. The tracks being connected is very cool.

Mario Kart with open world wasn't on my bingo list, but it looks great.

It’s worth it . The number of hours you can play a Mario kart game is nearly limitless. Not saying it shouldn’t or should be that much but the cost to value on those game are really high.

What is it worth it - 600 doubloons for a kart game?

This is worth it if it came on the switch 1 too, theres no reason other than greed (literally evil greed, games are culture and a core for social integration in todays world). Mario Kart 8 was worth it 500 because it was times pre-covid and pre-2-class society. This might seem "radical" but its the bitter reality.

I want switch 2 to be successful, I loved the detail in the reveals - pacing, audio and logo design in these clips full of gameplay brought me to tears as a creative. Seeing artists still having the possibility to polish their crafts like that. I think my first paragraph has weighted in the balanced evaluation.

I just hope people will have good times with entertainment and either receive a product worthy their social features or at least include the switch 1 people, while they themselves deal with having no new gimmicks versions or reduced perfomance. Or at least hope people can find balanced entertainment with people who did not choose to buy themselves into products worth nintendo's stock

It looks fun, i feel like the roster is really starting to get bloated though if we've reached the point where a dead fish and cow were needed to be made into characters just to meet the roster quota
