Outside of mario kart and 3d mario I have no idea what they are going to show. Feels like the first time in a long time where almost everything is going to be a surprise.

Not gonna lie, I just want a release date sometime between September and November (Time to save up), a price (That I'll have to convert to CAD), and like....one or two launch titles aside from MArio KArt 9.

I don't need an hour for this but my body is ready.
