Is even Mario Kart 9 a given? (YouTube) Limited timeI don’t think a June release date for the Nintendo Switch 2 makes sense for any reason other than Nintendo are trying to avoid something, aka GTA 6. I certainly haven’t heard any other explanation, unless they were aiming for March, like the first Switch, and this is just the closest they could get. Maybe it’s a combination of the two. It does make me…

Astro Bot – Mario’s new rival (Sony Interactive Entertainment) Double the pleasureI really don’t think Nintendo has much to learn from Astro Bot.
