It’s crazy how today went from an insane amount of hype about the Switch 2… and then 180’d when the game prices were revealed. Biggest feeling of whiplash ever.

PEAK and WORRIESOME is the best way to describe how I felt with everything.

Fun fact: June 5th is exactly 64 days away from today.

*At the Mario Kart development team*

Character Designer: Sir, we're really starting to run out of main series characters to put in our roster, maybe we should start pulling from some spin-offs now?

Miyamoto: Moo

Seeing Donkey Kong finally getting a new original game after 10 years, let alone a 3D one, almost made me cry. But now my bank account’s crying because of how much I’m spending to get all this.

$80 for Mario Kart is kind of insane. I could see $70, but $80 seems to be pushing it. I think they’ll get away with it though. I really hope $80 doesn’t become the standard price for games going forward.

Just when you think Pink Gold Peach was the weirdest Mario kart character, then they do this.
Nintendo smoked too many wonder flowers.

Honestly, I can pay $450-500 for a new console. $80 games? Absolutely not. Here's hoping they have the sense to walk that back. I wouldn't be surprised if a big factor in the Switch's success was how much cheaper it was compared to the competition.

it’s actually kinda sad how this was one of the best directs ever and yet nobody will remember that because of the prices

[SuperAndrew]

The website says "***Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. Actual price may vary." meaning that the price could change until June 5, I hope.

[ayearoldonyoutubeluigi]

The way my excitement dissipated when the prices and UI got revealed will never cease to amaze me.

[inkyinkfrfr]

wait until you find out they added Cataquack and Fish Bones to mario kart

[MrDraven]

So my theory is Nintendo wants to sell the $500 mario kart switch 2 bundle, which is why the game is $80

[SomeDude]

I feel like this is going be a 3DS situation all over again but with more games

[Aron]

I loved everything, it was so hype. Only thing I wish was different is that “Welcome Tour” was free, it makes no sense for it to be a paid game 🤦‍♂️

[neonfurry]

Fans: Open world 3d Mario! WE WANT MARIO KART

Nintendo: Shut it you have both now

[morningbowl]

Not justifying the price but the Switch 2 is pretty much a PS4 Pro in your pocket. The console I can get behind, but Nintendo got confident after everyone bought Tears of the Kingdom for $70

[SwitchAnimationsGacha]

The whole direct was so broken, literally
THE SCREEN FROZE FOR A GOOD 2 MINUTES
Too many people watching the stream lol

[RoyalKingOliver]

PEAK games coming out. They have their entire line up ready for the launch.

SUPER WORRIED because Jesus Christ those prices and the specs aren’t the best :/

[Sebastian-B-Sellebjerg]

Honestly disappointed that the main menu UI hasn't changed.
