Never played Donkey Konga.

But basically references/characters/etc from DKC1, DKC2, DKC3, DKLand 1/2/3 and DK64.

Well they do have that in Mario Kart and Smash Bros, but I agree that it would be cool to see more of them.

A LOT more of them.

Btb before anyone wants to bring up the supposed leaker "Next handheld" into the mix. Consider his background was checked by Famiboards and revealed the guy under previous monikers which were "scam/false leak" accounts.

The pic of the supposed Switch 2 shown sideway is also heavily disputed to have used AI generation to invent the picture, appart from the myriad of technical problems the model even shows to begin with.
So a whole week of anticipation for nothing lol.

Supposedly another leak states that January 8th will likely be the announcement date/reveal date, we'll see.

Is it about the countdown to that date ? 

I thought that had been linked to an Arknights event recently which isn't before mid-January weirdly enough. 

Honestly, anything to get us through those uncertain weird times where everything is just confusing.

Let us be out on the straight road by actual Nintendo info plz !

Btb if you were interested for any more "info" on the previous matter. The supposed leaker showed uncropped pics of the supposed dock. Considering all the previous post have been ofuscated by AI generation and editing, I don't think I honestly give any more f* in the matter until Nintendo states anything now.

Apparently, the leaker in question probably found the info in a nebulous leaker circle and decided to be the one to "clout chase" the glory of the reveal. 

Meh, I don't know anymore 😂

As long as it doesn't cause confusion like the Wii U.

For the next Mario Kart, I would love for the roster to be as expansive as possible across all of Mario's adventures. And I do mean ALL of them.
I'm talkin' the RPGs, Luigi's Mansion, etc.
I'd love to play as Geno, Mallow, Bombette, Vivian, Madam Flurrie, Goombella, Count Bleck, Professor E.Gadd, Toadsworth, Prince Dreambert, Connie, the list goes on and on.

And not just characters from those games, but courses and music tracks based off of them too.
Basically make Mario Kart into a celebration of Mario's ENTIRE gaming career.

I kind of feel like they should just go all the way with what they've been doing with their DLC and go full Smash Kart. More potential new courses and a better potential roster. 



I bought Super Mario Party Jamboree from Target with a gift card. It should be coming in a few days.
It's interesting that Switch is probably the first platform to date where each Mario Party is considered better than the last. You look at critic and user scores and people tend to see Jamboree as better than Superstars which is considered better than Super Mario Party.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 48 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

Yeah, there's a lot of information which is just wrong/false out there.

I saw the info about the dock this morning.

At this point, I'm still planning to pre-order and/or get the Switch day 1 or at least year 1 (depending on stock if I cant pre-order).

The day they confirmed b/c was the day I was 100% in.

Indeed, forget being unique, if its not broken, dont try to fix it.

The first party line up overall is just great on the Switch, hopefully they'll keep the momentum going forward.

Ehhh, I could see them going either way. But I think they should just leave the 'Smash Bros' crossover appeal to Smash Bros and just let Mario Kart be its own self-contained thing within the Mario universe. 

You know that saying of, "Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing?" The biggest reason why Smash Bros is so special and such a huge deal every time we get a new game is because of the concept of gaming's greatest legends and icons coming together to beat the shit out of each other. And the fact that it's the ONLY franchise where something like that is possible. If Nintendo did a "Smash Kart" or a "Smash Party" for all their franchises, then Smash Bros. wouldn't really be that special anymore.

I think Smash would still be plenty special. There is a big difference between a racing game, where characters are pretty much all skins, and a fighting game where each character actually brings their unique traits from their games. I don't feel like I would be the least bit less excited for Smash if they made a Nintendo themed cart racer.

And, I just don't see where else they go with the Mario Kart franchise. With the DLC, MK8 now has pretty much every course throughout the history of the game that's worth racing through. And virtually every Mario family character is already playable. Racing through Brinstar as Kirby just feels a lot more interesting than Bowser's Castle 10.
