None of the three really want much to do with physical games. They want the future of games to be reliant on their services and for people to not be able to play games in the future that have been shut down. It's really sad... like, I love retro games, but in the future so many 'retro' games (the ones for this time) will literally not exist!
How will the Angry Video Game Nerds of the future review classic games of the mid-2020s? By modding hardware illegally so they can play games they used to "own"?
But yeah, Mario Kart World is a lot of fun. My wife and I don't have a Switch 2, but our friends do, so we went to their house a month or so ago and played it together. It was a blast. The free roaming feature was pretty neat, too. I like that the tracks are connected and that each cup is a continuous race in four parts rather than four separate races (I mean, it is still four separate races as we go back to the same starting line at the beginning of each race, and each race has its own result, but your characters continue driving until they reach the next track). Honestly, I just love Mario Kart in general, and this is a worthy new addition to a series that was probably feeling tapped out yet (it's not another Mario Kart 8 rerelease, for what it's worth) yet still has plenty of gas left in the tank.
