My prediction is that the tracks won't be wide enough tbh, also someone pointed out that the yellow thing might be a gas can, there might be a gas mechanic where you have to refuel every now & then like F-ZERO. That'd explain the Fire Flower Gas Station right before the line. It worked fine in F-ZERO, but the healing was still on the main path there...no matter what this game will be interesting.

I think the main thing for me rn is that there doesn't appear to be that many walls to prevent you from escaping, the Lakitu spots in MK8 still make sense, this is a desert, what's logically preventing me from driving away

Admittedly I don't recall what Kalimari Desert does to prevent this, I'll try that when I play tomorrow.

I think the gas station is meant to be like the shortcut on GBA Mario Circuit

It just has a bunch of unmarked out of bounds area and Lakitu will pull you back to the road.

It could be the wonder seed. If you look closely it kind of looks like the wonder in the sand world in Mario wonder.

It could be a double function. We still don't know at the end of the day. So much speculation...

We were really talking about the one at the start of the course. Also I feel like it'd be more obvious if it was Wonder related. Like, why are there cars & stuff? Where are the talking flower spectators?

Also funnily enough, this has implications for other series

Splatoon 4 might go from 4v4 to 5v5, or 6v6(which would be hell to watch competitively, but fun to play(as long as the maps are better))

Smash, whenever it comes out, could go up to 10-12 players

Pikmin 5 might have a new max Pikmin cap(I'm thinking around 250?).

Pokemon might run at 30fps. Might.

3D Kirby could be 4 player instead of 2 like Forgotten Land

3D Zelda will be bigger than Xenoblade X

Xenoblade itself will probably double that knowing Monolith Soft

We'll get big 3D party games like FF7R & Okami 2(assuming the reason that guy crashed out is because that game is coming out on Switch)

We've only had 14 seconds of gameplay but the future is really bright.

Lots of smaller indie games are already announcing Switch 2 ports

Guess Squeenix will say something soon.

Switch 2: Meh. shoud not exist, no more games to Switch 1, unnecessary
MK Whatever is called: OHHHH LEETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GIVE SWITCH 2 NOW!

Switch 1 is so old, it really is high time we got better hardware. It is far from unnecessary.

Well i guess thats why seeing new Mario Kart changed my mind.

if they made smash be playable with 12 players

When you said the word Chaos I thought you were talking about the sonic character

It looks like DK has seen some things.

Tbh I think the 24 player mechanic will make mario kart feel fresh again like when double dash and 8 came out they made made some insane changes (double dash added double items) u think this will be more of a test game to add new stuff with i like the idea of

A new potentially depressing reason for the old character designs has been discovered.

Unless some sort of dark magic to prolong life is discovered, this is likely the last generation for a lot of the old developers like Miyamoto. Even if they don't die retirement is stratight around the corner. They may be going back to the old designs for one last romp before taking their leaves.

A lot of the other series developers like Aonouma(I think I butchered that) are also fairly old. Zelda may go through a similar thing, 2D Zelda for sure, Echoes was planned to be LttP2 before they decided to change it.

Also the direct is 10 year anniversary of the day Iwata held his last direct.(in Japan)

And before anyone(well, a specific person I can think) starts dooming & glooming, no, the games will not change that much once they're gone. We've already seen with Splatoon & Wonder that the next generation is being raised for the occasion.

Also this topic will be updated as more comes to light.

here's a meme i made myself because of when i saw dk in the new mario kart

Mario: Guys i think we all look good for this

Everyone: Yeah!

Dk: Oh Yea!

Everyone: Dk what the hell happened to you?

Dk: What? what's wrong with me?

i heard that there are hints towards Hollow Knight Silksong being shown off in the direct so there's that too

Yh I saw that post too

Could be a dev trolling tho

Maybe it will have the ability to have 3 items at once (Like in Mario Kart Tour)
