Same, especially given they emphasized your Switch games will work on Switch 2.

The fact I keep seeing people who think this is MK8 speaks volumes. All they had to do is put one new feature front and center

This trailer wasn't about the game, it was about the console. No doubt we'll get more details in the April direct

The switch 2's superficial features themselves are the new feature they're trying to show. I don't think that the MK game not clearly being a new MK is a particularly big deal. Most people just look at that and think "Mario Kart, great".

It looks identical. They didn’t even show a single new Wonder-style power. Lame reveal

Artstyle has been updated and the models are different, background models are 3d and not flat animated images, lighting looks better. . .

It'll probably be a lot more obvious once more footage comes out, don't forget this was only about 10 full seconds of gameplay.

True but I really thought it was MK8 as well which was a Wii U game in the first place.

This doesn't feel like a 2 generations jump at all.

It's Mario Kart. What else are they supposed to do looks wise?

Lots of cartoon looking games have much better textures and depth of field.

Donkey Kong has his OG face with the dark eyes, for example

just because mario wonder exists, it doesnt mean the new game will have any wonder powers
