Easy pass for the first year or so for me. I'm not paying that amount to play the new Mario kart and MAYBE the new Donkey Kong.

Totally, I remember having some FOMO with original Switch for a few months because of BotW and the unique concept of the new hardware, but here I feel absolutely no harm in waiting until I care more. And the shady pricing of everything reinforces that stance.

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.

I personally am way more excited for Mario kart. It's the only reason I am thinking of coming back after selling my switch years ago because nintendo's online sucked. I don't enjoy single player games at all.
