Btw, can confirm the Onn express card works well. Just moved some switch 1 games over to it to clear up my internal storage, and Mario Kart 8 launches faster than it did on my original Switch.
I've seen people online upset about the Kamek system of unlocking characters but honestly, I'm fine with it and it will keep me playing. I don't want to unlock everything immediately
lol, apparently the speedrun record for Pokemon S/V has dropped by 40 mins since the Switch 2 update.
I really wanna play Violet again after I get my fill of Mario Kart. Speaking of I did all the Grand Prix races first (rainbow road absolutely rips) and have finally tried knockout mode. I fucking love it
Apparently there is a common issue where the Switch 2 battery drains quickly but they have fix to recalibrate it if anyone has it happen to them. Edit: There is also this link which is titled the same but it has different steps but has been working for people.

MKW Rainbow Road kind of feels like a medley course of sorts? Like if previous RR courses. That’s the vibe we got playing it. I spoiler tagged that for those who haven’t played it yet.
There is apparently a hidden difficulty system. TLDR: if you drift a lot the NPCs are harder to beat. Mario Kart World Appears To Have A Dynamic Difficulty System | NintendoSoup
Hell yeah it does. Finally started going through the Grand Prix tonight because I really want to try out rainbow road. Only thing this game has me scratching my head over is why does every outfit have to be its own character?
Finally got my switch setup. MK is awesome and the gameplay is super fun. I really wish Nintendo had its online system better integrated into games. Setting up game chat was a bit clunky, but easy enough when I figured out all of the settings. Free roaming with friends would be a ton of fun and the fact that you can’t play with friends against other people online is pretty disappointing. The whole idea of an open world racing game and Nintendos focus on social gaming should make for a better online experience. I’m hoping these are things they will work on in the future.
A new splatoon spin off game for Switch 2 titled "Splatoon Raiders" was announced in the Nintendo today app lol Splatoon 3 will also receive an update on June 12th for updated visuals when played on Switch 2
