| Link_Nines.XBC said: I wonder if they'll pull a MK8 with MK9 and release it for Switch 1 and then later remaster it for Switch 2 (or whatever it's called), or they'll just save MK9 for Switch 2. I actually think the first option is more probable. Regarding Legends Arceus, I don't think it looks bad like some people make it out to be, my biggest worries are that the gameplay flow will get too repetitive and that the world will be too barren. |
My problem with that strategy is then MK9 will be limited by Switch technology, which itself has games that look basically the same as Wii U games, graphically, except to the most nerdiest of gamers like Digital Foundry. So then for Switch 2, until it is in the second half of its life (so 2027-2028?), will have a Wii U-graphics-level game being it's official Mariokart. That would be fine if Switch 2 had basically no bump in power over Switch 1, but that isn't Nintendo's pattern. They do big graphic jumps every two generations and Switch 2 is due.
If MK9 comes out on Switch 1, I hope it stays there so we aren't stuck with it on Switch 2 for 3-4 years. But hopefully it comes out on Switch 2 and takes full advantage of the huge leap forward in power.
