I didn't get one thing: Is the option of having 3 laps in the same circuit, as the way Mario Kart has always been like, only present in the VS. Mode when playing in local multiplayer?

I'll probably pick up a NSW 2 in a few years once it has enough good games that I want to play and maybe an attractive Black Friday deal or something like that. |
lol. You are the very first person that I see saying that the price of MKW is fine but not the bundle with the game on it

You can do it in private online as well, no idea how the public online matchmaking works they didn't really go into that.
GP mode is always drive between circuits afaik.

Maybe the intention is to keep people engaged until the game and console come out. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo held another presentation next month near the release date.

Yeah, thats what it looks like. After all, this is the game that will push the system for the release, so it wouldnt be wise to show everything today and risk to drop the momentum later in a few weeks
We reap what we sow
And how come character costumes are separate character slots instead of just selectable with your character?

This is not what I mean. What I mean is that MKW is not enough to get me to buy a Switch2 this year. I'll likely buy one in a few years once the system gets enough games that I like.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

It has two big games for me, and an upgrade to a Switch 1 game that I want.

It looks amazing, especially at $50 for early adopters in the bundle. Once the bundle goes away, it is not an $80 game in my opinion. Will players get more than $80 in value, since they are going to play it for thousands of hours,yes. But the amount of work that went into making the game does not equal $80 compared to other games.
