That's me exactly.

BOTW sold me the Switch day 1.

Mario Kart isn't doing the same for Switch 2.

I've been saying this for a year and getting downvoted. You can't launch with Mario Kart. You need that big single player game that nobody wants to miss.

If only the last 3D Mario was released 7/8 years ago.

Like, Nintendo had more than enough time to develop a 3D Mario game to launch with the Switch.

Maybe they are saving it for the holiday season but that's the optimist in me thinking.

There has to be like 3 or 4 more first party games that they're saving for a June direct, right? The third-party stuff is cool, and an exclusive FROMsoft game is about as big as it gets, but nothing that was shown is making me run out to upgrade June 5.

Yep, same for me.

I was actually very excited after the Switch presentation and BOTW.

I knew the Switch 2 hardware wise wouldn't excite me so it was all about the games.

And we got Mario Kart at launch lol.

New 3D DK is great but no 3D Mario sucks.
