You are like a thread whistle blower. "We are the only ones telling people how it is" etc etc..... In reality this is a massive step up for the series in terms of graphics.

They are offering an upgrade path with certain titles. Nobody is forcing anyone into this. I sold BOTW ages ago but might be tempted to go again if I can find a physical copy cheap enough.

Keep on telling yourself it's olnly the kids buying any of this. And on the whole console owners are obsessed with frame rates and graphics. When in fact it's just core hobby gamers that spend far too much tome playing videogames. And then still find time to discuss them on the internet and zoom into screenshots that look great... to find faults. It's a case of peole in bubbles speaking to people in similar bubbles, And even then some do not agree.

Nice drive by.
It's a PS4 class product running games at 4K. Of course there will be compromises. But just the other day the forum was full of people saying Nintendo would be too cheap to offer 4K, too cheap to ship a 120 Hz screen...

One car in GT has more polygons and texture detail than this entire game

I'm not comparing it with its prequel. Of course, it will be a step up. Why wouldn't there be? There is a generational difference between the two games and two consoles after all.
My point is that these games and consoles are priced more expensively than their competitors, yet these games look at least a decade behind in terms of technology and visuals. The value for money is so much lower here compared to the competition (Xbox, PS, PC, etc.)

Who would’ve thought Nintendo will go Forza Horizon route for their next big game?
The Switch 1 launched for the same $299 price as the PS4, and then the Pro was only an extra $100. It remains to be seen what will happen with 1st party and 3rd party titles since for example Donkey Kong Bananza is listed at $69.99.

I doubt native resolution or texture resolution will be on par with PS5 or Series X, but yeah, it’s great to have 4K at last. I hope console UI will be rendered in 4K as well, when docked.
The game looks like a large leap in scale/size from the last game. I originally was disappointed in the first viewing of the game, but the new trailer changed my mind on the game. The grass though bugs me a little honestly but it probably won't be as much of an issue when racing.

Yeah $450 before tax, $90 games, 256GB storage (LOL!) while for same price otehr consoles have 1TB. $90 for a pair of joycons...you Nintendo fans are really a special money printing breed. Also you dont need to be a pixel peeper to notice on those 4K shots of Mario Kart, the bikes have low poly wheels as in its not a proper circle, the gas tank has low res texture which looks like DooM3 which came out in 2003 and the decal lettering is blurry as well...this is all 4K, its not some decompression or whatever excuse. Sorry, this is a laughing joke. Mario Kart is a first party title, its artstyle is generally simpler but you cant tell me in 2025 they still have low res objects and decals for an ALREADY simpler graphic game.
Also dont use the argument that Im a Nintendo hater as I owned both Wii U and the Switch. There comes a time as a grown man when you know you are getting shafted and want my money better spent elsewhere.

It's a hybrid console. Idk what kind of graphical fidelity people are expecting when you're constrained by battery life and power draw and still have to keep it cheap enough.

I was very concerned about the Game and the console the first ime we saw It in the hardware presentation video. I thought It was inexcusable that the Game looked indentical to MK8D. And no, double the racers didn't made up for It.
After seeing the Game in the presentation I honestly think It looks amazing. Its doing ton of stuff with the tracks, the racers and the whole open world at a good framerate with a very clean look.
It also looks fun as hell, with the grinding, wall riding, boats, etc. It looks like they didn't hold back and got in everything that looked fun.
I probably wont rush to get this but if I can get It at a reasonable price down the line i'll be happy to do so.

Didn’t play that.
Does it have seemless online, drop in drop out? If yes, then that too.
Online seems to be big focus for them this time around.

Whut? I can still totally play it, not only that but I have a 21/9 display and I modded MK for ultrawide. It's glorious and here is some screens I took just now:

Its not, this is a PS4 level machine just like the Switch 1 was a PS3 level machine. That said I'm very happy we're moving on from the switch 1 and the switch 2 having a 120hz, HDR and VRR display is a gift from heaven. This little handheld is going to be a great upgrade over the basic ass switch 1.

I meant a lot of the games are running at a resolution that doesn't have distracting aliasing or blur on a modern display. I get its still behind tech wise vs current gen competitors.

Youre comparing systems that are like a pile of bricks and always plugged to a wall to a system that also has to be able to be carried and produce results usisng a battery. The tech is solid
Alloy is more hairy than Mario, but it doesn't mean anything since Mario is more popular than Alloy.

Mario Kart is a social game meant to be played with friends and family. Modding it so you can play alone with better graphics and sneer at console peasants playing it in the joyful company of each other is really quite sad.Whut? I can still totally play it, not only that but I have a 21/9 display and I modded MK for ultrawide. It's glorious and here is some screens I took just now:

That's some horrid modelling and texturing along with flat xbox 360 lighting
Yeah, mobile games looks better nowadaysNice drive by.

Tag, you're it.
1) Sorry but who tf are you to tell me how I should enjoy my games?
2) Who said I'm playing alone? Do you know Parsec? I played with friends in real life and online. No issue at all and I had tons of fun.
3) This is why I haven't turned my Switch on for years: I have a far better experience on PC and I play with my friends thru Parsec. Smash Bros, Mario Tennis, MK, LM3, Mario Party, 3D World etc.... I played all of those on my PC and with friends. Oh btw, here is some screens from Smash Ultimate (not in ultrawide since it was before my new display):
4) When did I "sneer at console peasants"? I just posted some screenshots for comparison purpose but if you ask me, I think MK World looks a LOT better than MK8 on my PC, so get the fuck out with you warrior attitude and go have sex with your plastic box.

I was expecting a much bigger jump compared to the MK8 from 11 years ago, it looks better but not much better.

What is the mod you use there? The one I have stretches the game a little.Whut? I can still totally play it, not only that but I have a 21/9 display and I modded MK for ultrawide. It's glorious and here is some screens I took just now:

I uses those:
Then make sure to change the aspect ratio in Yuzu as it follow:
Now enjoy glorious ultrawide native res gameplay. Be aware that you will encounter some minor visual issues, mainly with the main menu of the games since it's supposed to be 16:9. It's not that bothersome, in my opinion.

But we get this everytime a new Nintendo console is announced. Everybody seems to think they will go cutting edge tech. Nintendo do not do that and certain people complain about the visuals. Rinse and repeat. The vast majority do not care about any of this. This game looks awesome.

Looks good, I hope they introduce a gore mode where you can blow other characters up and see their guys and parts flying.

Seriously people. Please stop bickering over petty bullshit. It's why people think gamers are a bunch of sweaty nerds who live in their parents' basement. It's one thing to debate or discuss with civility and humility about a hobby, and it's another to engage in the quibbling and sniveling over pointless semantics and meaningless minutiae of gaming. It's embarrassing. We should be a chill community, not a divisive mob. (This will be ignored but I said my piece.)

It's hard, but I try to believe some of you are just pretending because the alternative to that is quite grim.
