We’ll find out that it could have run on a switch 1 once it gets ported to pc 
This is gonna be an absolute banger that will move units for Nintendo. Really genius decision to make this a launch title.

Makes sense tbh. The switch was the first Nintendo console or handheld without a new Mario kart entry.Was it originally for switch 1 an they said “nah, this tooo big of a game”
Honestly given the switch wasn’t much powerful then the Wii U and unlike the Wii didn’t have a clear gimmick gameplay wise.

Thank you Mr obvious
That's crazy so they took the guts of a Switch 1 game and said hold on we can prob charge $80 for this with a few key adjustments. This might be the first BBL video game in history. Yall boys bout to eat good with all that ass Nintendo is serving.
Yall didn’t read the article. Devs were struggling BAD on switch 1 and almost had to make it 30fps and moving to the Switch 2 made 24 player races much much easier to do without sacrifices. This was the very first Nintendo team to get S2 dev kits for that reason. The MK8 expansion was used to buy them more time during development

Most brehs here just post on for their agenda. I doubt most would even bother to read the article. Nintendo deserves criticism as a company, no doubt.
But if they were really out to milk it they could just pulled a 2k or EA. This is a new game from the ground up. Now whether its worth $80 that’s another discussion.
Nintendo devs are def one of the best in the industry. But brehs grew out of lot of their games.
People here still shyt on Nintendo for how Pokemon games are developed lately even though the only thing they are responsible for publishing. Man Gamefreak pisses me off
