Message: [QUOTE="SpikeSlania, post: 226698, member: 300252"] I did finally get to sit down and enjoy my new Switch 2 yesterday after work. I will admit I was jealous listening to other people in line talking about getting food at Sheetz and then heading home playing Mario Kart while for me I would be lucky enough to just set it up before going to bed. Too old to be doing midnight releases anymore :P About the unit itself I'm pretty neutral on. I'm in the minority that I only use my Switch in docked mode with a pro/3rd party controller so don't have much of an opinion on it's handheld features or joycons. The UI is hardly different from the OG Switch and gets the job done. I guess their magnetic features for the joy cons are pretty cool but I don't have anything else to really say about the unit itself. Now the Pro Controller on the other hand fixed my one major issue with the OG Switch Pro Controller. It actually has a good d-pad compared to what Nintendo gave us last gen. Haven't tested any of the game chat features with it since none of my friends got a Switch 2 yet, but for gaming it feels pretty nice and has a decent weight to it. Looks like the battery life is good since after my few hours of playing yesterday and I checked the status on it afterwards it was still near full charge. Now for the one some people might have been waiting for, my thoughts on Mario Kart World. For the short summary, I love it. First new Mario Kart in a decade. Mainly been doing Grand Prix unlocking characters, skins, and cars. They have a few traditional race courses that you would find in the other Mario Karts the whole doing laps in circles formula. But the majority of tracks are racing to the next destination. You did get a few tracks like that in 7 and 8 while World is mostly those tracks which is a nice change of pace. I also went online and raced for like a hour and had a blast with how chaotic it is with up to 24 racers it is. Like you could be in 6th about the cross the finish line and then get hit finding yourself in 17th and with a new found grudge against a guy named Blue Luigi. So my initial thoughts are pretty positive and looking forward to the Switch 2 generation. I know I have Donkey Kong next month and Daemon X Machina in September. Will also be looking into some Switch 1 games with Switch 2 updates and of course finally getting my hands on Xenoblade Chronicles X and playing through that. [/QUOTE]
