Apologies - it was a long day and I called Mario Kart World “Mario Kart Tour” by accident. Too many Mario Karts in the brain! Mario Kart World is a totally new game. - Scott Stein

It's not the cost of the console that's concerning - it's the new price of the games.

[icomefromcanadia]

The prices in general are silly, but the Welcome Tour "game" being for purchase and not just a built in demo is an insult

[msorobia]

Selling a tutorial of how to use your $450 hardware is wild

I retire this year (I'm 62) and this is my retirement gift.

6:30 it’s Mario kart world not Mario Kart Tour 😂

[cletp]

@3:53. The fact they selling a console guide game says it all. Nintendo will suck every penny they can wherever they can...

[GhostlyTheRabbit]

The Switch 2 is basically the PS3 and the Xbox One all over again

[MFHRaptor]

As for me; OLED Switch 2 whenever that comes out.

[chrisdonald]

Yeah I’m getting it Day 1, comes out a week after my birthday too. Might as well treat myself

[ophidian_]

How were the AAA titles playing on the switch?

[boomoperator]

The screams at the end were perfectly timed lol.

[sazomedia]

I always look forward to hearing your thoughts on tech, Scott!

[AndreyBoarao]

You got it wrong. It's mario kart World! but ok, nice review

[WafflesIsTheStuff]

I have a weird suspicion that Jensen Huang's Jacket had a say in all this, given the pricing.

Still, the tech seems pretty amazing. Wonder how it turns out.

[MelonLemon]

Is the analog drift included in the package?

[financenumber]

Love the new Switch. Really happy with the larger screen and 4k docked. I am buying it Day 1.

[RealEroSennin]

Crazy that bro was able to call the basketball game “very tiring to play” without an ounce of shame.

[LydonLewisDoUbLeZz]

Duuude i'll be playing that wheel cheer game like a champ. I have a lift top table and I have a big a** computer mouse pad with wing zero custom on at l o l im ready!!!🤣🤣🤣

[Eric]

Are the triggers analog or are they just buttons again?
