I'm going to try very hard not to be, but I'm definitely the type of person you're describing. That Nintendo direct had me drooling at the new Mario kart and donkey Kong games, and nothing hits like a zelda. Super mario wonder was a delight.

I only hope I can emulate this system relatively quickly. I am not a man of strong willpower.

Don’t feel bad for liking things. Your post kinda bums me out. Don’t let all this negative hype impact what will make you happy. If you can afford it. Do it. If you can’t then yeah don’t, but we as people are allowed to enjoy things.

Do you play many indie games? I feel like they've taken most of these formulas and really expanded on them, way more than Nintendo will do.

I do! Many of my favorites are indie games, I'd say more than not. But I guess there's some things that you can't do without a massive budget or many many years in development, because many nintendo core franchises just aren't beat in quality in my opinion, at least for some entries.

That's why I'm just not looking at these new games. It would be interesting to know how they're tackling an "open world" Mario Kart! But I already know it's too expensive for what I'll get out of it, so taking a look will only be bad for me in the long run.

Sounds like they’re doing a Forza Horizon kind of setup, where you drive around the open world to get from one structured race to another.

It’s kinda cool in that it keeps you in the world, but also annoying if you just wanna bang through races
