That is all

The internet reacts to Nintendos new Switch 2, Mario Kart World

It’s a massive, long-awaited day for gamers with Nintendo announcing the Switch 2 in a livestreamed event on Wednesday.

We got glimpses of so many cool things: the new console, Mario Kart World, and more. It’s safe to say people were pumped — more than a million viewers were tuned-in for the 9 a.m. ET event. And the reaction online, in general, was plenty of excitement — especially for some new characters you can race as in Mario Kart.

People seemed to be excited about the Switch 2 itself, which certainly has upgraded capabilities in features like mouse controls and voice chat.

OK IM READY FOR SWITCH 2

World on fire, economy collapsing, I sit in my bunker and mutter to myself, “Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo Switch 2.”
