So cool to see Smyths doing a midnight launch, I had to move my half-day off on the 5th so will be working all day unfortunately. Still tempted to nip over at midnight though, although I won’t be able to play it at all or even unbox it, we’ll see where the mood takes me on the day.

Picked this up yesterday, made a start tonight, impressions to come soon. Really liked 2016 and adored Eternal, looking forward to digging into this more.

Yeah, just a standard case, slightly compressed on here but no bells and whistles.

I hardly remember playing DK64 so have no real experience playing 3D DK games. This looks like something new and fresh though, I fully expected a 3D Mario which I would’ve taken with open arms but is nice to finally get another 3D DK game after all these years. Red Faction Gorilla indeed lol, I loved that game. My only worry at the moment is the smashing stuff will become repetitive and won’t be fun after say hour 3-4 but this is Nintendo, I’m sure they’ll of thought of ways to switch things up in the game, the puzzle elements with finding the banana ingot things looked interesting too.

Been impressed with what I’ve seen of this so far. I didn’t think Mario Kart could really be perfected or taken anywhere else after 8 Deluxe really, I really didn’t know where they’d go with it in terms of scope, tracks, characters, costumes, all that stuff has already been jam packed into 8. With this though they have managed to take it in a new direction, I have to say I never saw MK being an open-world racer or even a racer where tracks fit certain world segment, I’ve always kind of taken for granted that you’ll go from one zaney N64 era track to one from a GBA game that’ll be completely different. The knockout races aren’t new but are new to MK and almost add a bit of a Battle Royale-esque element to proceedings. I also really like that they’ve ramped up the number of races, it is going to be super chaotic. My only slight concern at the moment is how wide some of the tracks are, there has always been wide tracks like Mario’s speedway and the ilk but World’s tracks all like much wider than previous games. Little QoL improvements like not having to hold a button to keep a shell behind you are nice but feel like a bit of the nuance, a bit of the mystique of MK will be lost in the process. I’m not sure how they will handle legacy tracks either, I’m not saying the game has to have them to be good, and it will be nice for World to have x amount of fresh new tracks but it would also be cool to still be able to race on some of the best legacy ones too. This will be a home run whatever happens, I’ve always liked MK games, DD and Wii being the low points, but they’re always so much fun. It feels long overdue at this point as well with MK8 coming out 10 years ago.

Smyths have opened pre-orders for those interested. Have managed to nab one for collection at my local branch.

Absolutely loved that trailer, the music by Woodkid was hauntingly beautiful. I liked the first one but messed it up for myself around 19 hours in by trying to carry a pickup load all on my own 😂 never went back to it unfortunately but have always wanted to.
