What I like

Definitely getting a Mario Odyssey/Breath of the Wild & Tears of the Kingdom vibe to it (also like that it got a Disney/Pixar/Wreck-It-Ralph vibe to it too)

I like that the costumes for DK & Pauline are useful and not just cosmetics

It does look like it will run at 60fps

I like that there were more surprises in the DK Bananza Direct than the Mario Kart World Direct (mostly due to that direct being just telling us stuff we already know)

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

I still have some concerns about it being too repetitive

Not sure how the game share feature will work on Switch 1
