Is there a single reason this couldn't have released on the original switch as well?

The devs said the open world and 24 players would be too laggy.

yeah retard because they're trying to sell a new console

>>712678621 (OP)
remember all those PS5 exclusives that Sony was preparing that would take full advantage of the console, and then they just said fuck it and release everything on the PS4?

>>712678621 (OP)
Player counts and the seamless exploration. Visuals aren’t everything

>>712678664
24 players adds nothing to the game besides more items which is garbage

they should remake super mario 64 but it is a 64 player battle royale

>>712679008
is knockout tour similar to that?

>>712678621 (OP)
Daisy's ass won't fit on Switch 1

>>712678860
not even sony expected the snoy retards to buy the ps5 in droves with literally zero reason to. At that point they were like "fuck it, these retards will buy it anyway so put the games on ps4 to make more money"

>>712678664
Hurr

>>712678943
They didn't care, they wanted 24 and refused to reduce it.

This question can be answered with, how's the emulation for this game on Steam Deck?

>>712678860
>they spent months proclaiming how Ratchet and Clank NEEDED to be exclusive to PS5 because muh ssd
>then it gets ported to PC a couple years later

>>712678621 (OP)
The music and the dozens of shitty skins the babies have

>>712678621 (OP)
then switch 2 wouldn't have a single exclusive and no one would buy it

>>712678621 (OP)
>IT LOOKS CARTOONY SO IT SHOULD BE RUNNING ON NINTENDO 64
Then you'd be complaining about 20fps.

>>712679256
You can't emulate sw2 games anon, give it 2-3 years

>>712678860
>then they just said fuck it and release everything on the PS4
Because of picrel. Even four years in, most people stuck to PS4. Because they released a mini-PC with the multi-part scam FF7Remake as their big draw (cutting off PS4 at Rebirth too) and when that jumped ship to PC that set the tone for every other PS game to do the same.

>>712678621 (OP)
Then they would make less money on Switch 2 sales.

>>712678860
What does that have to do with Mario Kart World and the Switch?

>>712678621 (OP)
The Switch can't handle 4K+60FPS+HDR+24 Players. You have to move on at some point.

>>712678621 (OP)
It was originally intended for switch 1. Just read up on the development history

You can just watch how botw and totk run on sw1 (20/30fps with dips) to 60fps with more resolution.
MKW runs at 60fps all the time.

>>712680114
Just like Mario Odyssey is a Wii U port, right? /v/ said so.

>>712680114
Dinosaur planet was originally a n64 game but end up on the game cube, doesn't meant the n64 was capable of running the game cube build.

>>712678621 (OP)
Money.

It would have ran 30fps on the Switch at a much worse graphical fidelity, we're talking sub 720p, and that's not a compromise they were willing to make. Seeing as how MK8 Deluxe runs 1080p 60fps on the same console, it would have been a pretty hard sell as the game would just look infinitely worse than a Wii U game essentially.

>>712679256
0p, 0fps

>>712680495
What the fuck? How could Nintendo do this? THIS IS ANTI-CONSUMER!!!

>>712678621 (OP)
Nintendo needed a system seller exclusive for their new console. It only worked with BOTW because no one bought a wii u

>>712681546
>It only worked with BOTW
so then why is Switch 2 already selling faster than the Switch 1?

>>712681949
the absolute state of tendie reading comprehension

>>712678943
That's irrelevant to the fact that 24 player races + track continuity with Switch 1 graphics at 1080p or higher at consistent 60 FPS wasn't possible on the Switch 1.
The Switch 2 is about pushing Switch 1 graphics into higher resolutions, anti-aliasing, some better texture work, and higher framerates. It's not a "generational step" where the games will look entirely different. They'll look like the old games but pop off the screen with higher fidelity.

Isn't this what people wanted? Graphics engines that support strong artistic direction without excess horsepower going into decadent yet superfluous features like memetracing? I thought everyone wanted PS2 graphics but at HD resolutions. Why are people complaining when a console that's about delivering that experience actually comes out?

>anti-aliasing
but mario kart world doesnt have anti-aliasing

>It's not a "generational step" where the games will look entirely different.
Except it is a generational step. What we're seeing is a game that started development on Switch, and then was moved to Switch 2. We're not going to see the "real" power of Switch 2 until we see a graphical powerhouse like Monolith Soft put out a new Xenoblade game.

Power wise the generational leap from Switch to Switch 2 is comparable to that of PS3 to PS4, which is pretty significant. And Mario Kart World runs at 1440p 60fps, and is an open world game with zero loading times. A lot of open world games even on modern platforms are struggling to hit consistent framerates. There's also more going on with Mario Kart in its lighting system, whereas MK8 used all prebaked lighting, so less expensive to render in general.

>Isn't this what people wanted?
It is, and I think most people are content with it because their Switch 1 games run better and now they're getting games that wouldn't be able to run on Switch 1 period. You're also getting cutting edge ports for games like Cyberpunk which are running better on Switch 2 than they would on PC handhelds that cost twice the price. It's not an underpowered device whatsoever and is making even dedicated PC boxes like Xbox Series S sweat, as a hybrid console. I think with how fast this thing is selling, yeah people are pretty satisfied. The ones screaming about not buying it clearly in the vocal minority.

>one of the big takes with world is how much the open world doesn't lend itself to the core gameplay
>in fact all the hype about the wall-riding and rail-riding tech its seen as a problem how often you're doing intermission tracks that don't lend itself to the movement enough
We could have gotten a Mario 9 which simply brought wall and rail riding to a more bogstandard non-open world game. And not only could they have done that on the switch 1 but it could have been released years ago.

>>712682550
lol that's fair, and in hindsight I think Nintendo just really hates AA in general for their first parties. That being said, it's clear that the Switch 2 is targeting much higher quality on the same level of fidelity as last gen
>>712682634
I should clarify - it *is* a generational step, but it's not a *leader* in cutting edge fidelity by design. In Nintendo fashion, it's a stable target that pushes the console back into mainstream palatability (think Bloodborne but with some better shader work), which is honestly a smart move when every other platform is in an arms race for who can layer the most UE5 lighting features into their games.
There is nothing "bad" about the fidelity target on the Switch 2. The only thing people keep asking for is a competitor for current PC/PS5Pro games on mobile, but traditionally handhelds have always been a half or full generation behind their larger brothers, but in no way is a PS4-looking video game unappealing. Most PS5 games are PS4 video games with more shaders, higher framerates, larger render distances, etc., but fundamentally the same experience. Contrast this with the jump from Morrowind to Oblivion or Skyrim. The power of the 360/PS3 generation made a traditionally PC-only genre not only viable to run but viable to render on console hardware

You can choose to have the normal 3 lap race online, you don't have to do the intermissions.

>>712678621 (OP)
Yes, the reason why is nutendo is run by comically inept and evil accountants and former ea executives. All their games on the switch 2 look like regular ass switch games.

>>712678787
Yeah but they didn’t know that at the time they started developing the game, back when the switch 1 launched
