As someone who has played Smash, it would be nice to play as Captain Falcon, Samus, Fox, and Pit in a Mario Kart game. Hopefully we get another Super Smash Bros. game. Do you think there will be another Smash Bros. game for Ninteneo Switch 2?
Small thing, but i would love if when not driving, like, at the starting line, characters had little idle animations to at least make the time waiting for races to start online less boring because you at least have something to look at, and just give the game a little extra charm as well. I'm thinking something kind of like CTR:NF where the characters all have a variety of idle animations.
Cosmetics could be fun, as long as they don't paywall them too hard. Thankfully Nintendo seems to be past their "Toying with microtransactions" phase, so i am at least not expecting anything like Tour.
@@anth636 I hope all the different costumes in Tour are selectable like the colors for certain characters in MK8. and perhaps racing suits for more than just the "princesses," I swear I've seen designs for the Bros and Toads somewhere before. Would definitely be nice in setting everyone apart in a 24-person race.
If MK9 is Switch 2’s big debut game like Breath of the Wild, I wonder if it will have a campaign mode. Perhaps it’s both a Mario Kart game and a Super Mario platformer in one. That would be smart for a console release.
Honestly ignoring the movie, DK’s design looks more like his original self than he ever has. I like this. He looks like the big goofy gorilla he was meant to be. But I can understand if this is jarring to many. I think it could have looked a little bit better, but giving the main humans more expressive looking faces and whatnot is exactly what I wanted from every Mario game since Wonder. This game is gonna be epic.
Personally I think the movie and the games should be kept separate from each other UNLESS they are making a new game that is about the movie. Like a crossover.
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of DK’s movie design, (or pretty much any of the movie designs in general), but despite how similar his new model looks to the movie, it actually looks pretty decent here, especially next to the other characters thanks to the new cartoony style.
Donkey Kong in the 2020s is an anomaly. No real games for the last decade, just remasters but for some reason in he’s the spotlight at Universal? Now he’s getting a redesign?
I mean people leaked almost everything about the switch 2 The design the compatiblility with switch 1 game so we all knew it was gonna happen it was just a question of time so Nintendo just gave up and did one of the most boring trailer I mean you can see they gave up the surprise effect. So yeah it would have been really hype if it wasn't leaked
@WildGardevoir I mean true, but also I've lived through the launch of the DSi, 3DS, PS Vita, Wii U, Xbox One, PS4, Xbox S/X, PS5, Stadia, Ouya, Souljagame and all that and I just don't feel the same amount of excitement. I buy maybe one big game a year and I don't really like having to shell out so much money for a new console when the one I play still works just fine and is perfectly serviceable on a graphical level
@@MAN-MILK Damn you old 😅 But obviously what you said makes sense, I feel a lot of people who own a Switch or Switch OLED won't be as quick to switch, especially with inflation right now (and that's not including new exclusive games for Switch 2)
There’s a theory that DK Jr grown up is modern DK, which makes a lot of sense considering DK in this game looks very similar to DK Jr in Super Mario Kart
It looks more like OG DK. Pre Country. Sorta resembled a DK plush from the early 80s... yes, they did make those. Donkey Kong the arcade game was very popular.
I thought that was Mario Kart 8 they showed. I suppose I was expecting more stand out visuals for the debuting S2 game, making it clear the system is a lot more powerful. But perhaps it’s not a huge leap after all?
it's kinda hard to upgrade from MK8, that game still looks fantastic. There are a lot of hints that this new Mario Kart will support 24 racers in one race, so that's something
It’s a huge leap from mario kart 8 the character in that game looks cartoony but the realistic graphics don’t fit in at all even though it looks good visually but it just doesn’t fit the cartoony aesthetic of the character in 8
Older is not always better. Yuji Naka was cooking when he updated Sonic for the Dreamcast era, and the fan sentiment towards Classic Sonic in new games says it all (classic gameplay is great, but people would probably like him more if Sega could just do it proper like the one time Christian Whitehead and Tee Lopes did). DK and Dedede are like if Sonic went back to some amalgamation of his modern and classic designs just because.
@@BronzeAgePepper "Older is not always better" well of course not. same as "newer" is not always better. I don't think anyone says either of them is always better. And why are you talking about sonic. I am saying the design is ass. Its not cuz its new, I simply hate the illumination redesgin.
He was redesigned to look like the old Shigehisa Nakaue art... from 20+ years ago... it's not FROM the movie. The movie was also using the old Nakaue art as design inspiration. As was Wonder.
the item boxes are in the last shot in the background right in front of the boost pads and they are rainbow colored again just like before mk8,. they have a different color then the thing that to me looks like a mcdonalds paper bag in the yoshis drive through. i think that carts now have their own special abillitys but thats pure speculation
I really dont care for the new design personally. If they wanna make a stand alone dk seth rogan movie thats great but why change the games look for it.
It doesnt bother me and I can barely see a difference in mario tbh aside from more facial animation as he bounces around but I think I do prefer the older designs myself especially kong. That said I dont hate the new ones. I am delighted to hear a 24 character race though. That could get nuts.
No the new designs are not cool. Way to make a headline clickbait. The header text of your video made it sound like you were thinking it was questionable too but then you go on praising it. We don't need the Mario movie designs in a Mario video game. The Mario movie is just Hollywood trash. Not Nintendo
what are you guys hoping for most in mario kart 9?

New Gimick like double dash
New characters
new items
And new features
AND KIRBY PLAYABLE CHARACTER

Princess Zelda and Poochy as playable characters
Everyone is comparing the redesigns to Mario Wonder, but they look exactly like the Mario RPG and Mario Kart 64 designs. (tiny chibis)
Yess!!! Been thinking this too!
Maybe they added different outfits for characters.
Cosmetics could be fun, as long as they don't paywall them too hard. Thankfully Nintendo seems to be past their "Toying with microtransactions" phase, so i am at least not expecting anything like Tour.
They added everything from Tour except for the variants.

@@sackfu7952 since when did they add micro transactions to first party switch games? They should hopefully be free like smash ultimate.
I find it funny that the footage of the game is running at a noticeably higher framerate than that of the console itself in this trailer
I think that was an intentional marketing gimmick to make it look smoother. Good catch!
I'll say it, the new DK design is cool. But after seeing the same DK for years at this point, it's going to take time to get used to this redesign...
Same, my favorite design will be the country one but I can dig this new one. It’s not so drastic that I hate it, he still loves fun
He looks like movie DK wish can be used to quickly
It looks horrible
Rare design is superior. I’ll say it a million more times.
No it looks stupid and goofy. They should keep the DK model or even return to Rare's original model.
Seth Rogan is racing on radiator springs now💀
the new designs made me think of the n64 designs the characters had.
If MK9 is Switch 2’s big debut game like Breath of the Wild, I wonder if it will have a campaign mode. Perhaps it’s both a Mario Kart game and a Super Mario platformer in one. That would be smart for a console release.
Im glad Nintendo is continuing to make everything hella stylish and creative
I mean that Bowser is straight out of the MK64 character select model.
I hope penguin king from the movie is a playable character
Peach looks like how she does in Wonder

I think the redesigns are refreshing (yes including DK’s) and make the new game stand out more from MK8
DK looks ugly and I hate you for it
@@ZachStarAttack Wow, okay
Hopefully they add movie rainbow road
Personally I think the movie and the games should be kept separate from each other UNLESS they are making a new game that is about the movie. Like a crossover.
@@Flibbermox yeah but there alreadt kinda crossing over dk and peach with their movie designs, i think its fair to add the movie rainbow road as well
@@FlibbermoxPersonally you don't care. You'll still buy and play the game in the end.
@@nintendofannot4898 Bold of you to assume I have money.
That's not cool for Donkey Kong from the movie, we need to tell Nintendo to ask to fix Donkey Kong right now.
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of DK’s movie design, (or pretty much any of the movie designs in general), but despite how similar his new model looks to the movie, it actually looks pretty decent here, especially next to the other characters thanks to the new cartoony style.
It does look like the movie design!
Ew
@SquidwardSmellsGOOD734 I agreed, I want Nintendo to Fix Donkey Kong Right Now.
I hope download play returns! Just like the DS, when you could play Mario Kart DS with players who had no game, and they'd play as shy guy.
24 players!!!
Movie Donkey Kong?
More like original Donkey Kong. His eyes are touching, just like his OG design.
Donkey Kong in the 2020s is an anomaly. No real games for the last decade, just remasters but for some reason in he’s the spotlight at Universal? Now he’s getting a redesign?
I'm gonna be real. The older I get the less excited I get over new game consoles

@@WildGardevoir Nintendo only has itself to blame by waiting and hesitating for for ever.
There's a wonder seed/flower looking item near the yoshi grill thing. That may be the new gimmick
Im fine with DK Mario Movie Design Same For Bowsers too
That’s Actually His Mario Kart 64 Design
Really? Donkey Kong Fans are not happy about it! We need Donkey Kong needs to be fixed!
Who says that’s DK and not DKjr? From the snes?
The fact he's wearing a tie
There’s a theory that DK Jr grown up is modern DK, which makes a lot of sense considering DK in this game looks very similar to DK Jr in Super Mario Kart
The DK design has a lot of similarities to that of Donkey Kong Jr from the original Mario Kart (SNES).
And also the Unused version Donkey Kong Jr. in double dash
Also Peach has her normal hair for the first time since...super circuit i think
Why does DK look like the Seth Rogan DK?
Cause it is
Probably appealing to first time fans who came from the movie
@@RealZerenaFan All four of them?
Because Nintendo likes to screw things up
I really like the new design! The perfect in-between of Nintendo OG Arcade DK and Rare's design. I love it!
Mario look like his sunshine Ara Luigi and Bowser look like their 64 Ara and Donkey Kong's design I love a lot.
It looks more like OG DK. Pre Country. Sorta resembled a DK plush from the early 80s... yes, they did make those. Donkey Kong the arcade game was very popular.
Different character
DK is growing on me little by little, he looks so funny xD
I'm very satisfied with the new designs.
I'm hoping for marker 9 to have N64 Wario Stadium as one of the retro tracks
I thought that was Mario Kart 8 they showed. I suppose I was expecting more stand out visuals for the debuting S2 game, making it clear the system is a lot more powerful. But perhaps it’s not a huge leap after all?
There’s literally no way you can tell…you’re watching on your phone…
it's kinda hard to upgrade from MK8, that game still looks fantastic.

I think they put the extra power into the draw distance. That track seems pretty expansive.
It’s a huge leap from mario kart 8 the character in that game looks cartoony but the realistic graphics don’t fit in at all even though it looks good visually but it just doesn’t fit the cartoony aesthetic of the character in 8

I want my boi shy guy to be in 9
Everyone who likes the new DK are people that don’t play DK
they really just sh*t on the DK fans
FR
Yeah
Thank you.
Some people think that the characters will all have different skins and outfits
He’s so wide
Whats the music you used at the beginning. Ive heard it before but cant remember
Windmill hills from tropical freeze
the item boxes are in the last shot in the background right in front of the boost pads and they are rainbow colored again just like before mk8,. they have a different color then the thing that to me looks like a mcdonalds paper bag in the yoshis drive through. i think that carts now have their own special abillitys but thats pure speculation
Mario maker 3 please.
I swear to god i hope this is just a beta design because i don't like this Look for DK at all
I have a feeling that the game's not called mario kart 9 but Mario Kart Overdrive
There's no way the roster will be less than 30 characters
RIP Rareware's Donkey Kong. 1994-2025
Freaking hate DK in this
me too
I can get used to everything else but heck no to DK’s design.
I really dont care for the new design personally. If they wanna make a stand alone dk seth rogan movie thats great but why change the games look for it.
WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS IS DONKEY KONG
I hope you can change the outfit of dk to be the old model..,.,.,.,
It's not Movie DK
It's Classic DK
Classic dk is a different character
W first video
might be unpopular opinion but id rather them not add all the courses from mk8 tbh id rather it all be brand new tracks and have no returning ones
The kong is gone.
DK looks disgusting. Why?
Movie design
Based on pre-rare dk design
I love it.
Ragebait
64 DK was peak DK design
So not only those characters had terrible voice changes and now they have these terrible redesigns.
Super Mario Kart 2 or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 2 lol
Lool why does DK look so fat and goofy now ? And why does it look like M8 or even worse (graphically) ?!
I dont like the redesigns
It doesnt bother me and I can barely see a difference in mario tbh aside from more facial animation as he bounces around but I think I do prefer the older designs myself especially kong. That said I dont hate the new ones. I am delighted to hear a 24 character race though. That could get nuts.
It’s perfectly okay if you don’t like it!
@@Terron29that’s because you don’t play as DK
Beta footage

128th view!!!
donkey kong looks fkn awful
