The game looks awesome! That price is wacky though.

I will definitely get this game when I buy a Switch 2. I will buy it physically to boot because I still plan on sticking with physical games for Switch 2.

Looks great but I'm seeing the game costs 80 digitally and 90 physical???
This can't be real.



The pricing sucks but the game itself looks like a great sequel to MK8. The visual leap is less than I was hoping for considering the 11 year gap but it still looks notably better and the open world aspect makes up for that. The direct in a couple weeks will go properly in depth but as a big Forza Horizon fan this is already looking like the best MK ever if they pull it off.



I am looking foward to see the battle mode.
Any chances to have a story mode with boss battles?



 

 

We reap what we sow

Why bother releasing this when everyone is just going to buy Kirby Air Riders instead?

Possible, but not likely.

I feel like with how open the courses are is one of the big new features of the game. Adding a story mode with boss battles might be Nintendo having "too many cooks spoiling the broth".

If you can get the bundle, it'll be a better deal.

This will likely be the SKU that will sell out the game and help the overall hardware sales.

Nah, that's uncertain and people extrapoling from EU prices(which includes VAT btw).

It's likely parity prices between physical and digital editions, they would specify otherwise, like on the Nintendo UK store
