Well, that certainly got me hyped.  Basically liked everything they showed.  Not sure if it's the Mario team though, there are traces of open world zelda in there and even Splatoon too.  Looks great although the visuals could have been better I feel.  Not sure if the destructible environments are taxing the Switch2 too hard, or if Nintendo still needs to find their feet with pushing graphics further.  Or perhaps they just didn't feel like pushing harder on that front.

Donkey Kong Bananza looks great and like it’ll be a lot of fun to play. The level of destructibility is pretty impressive. An easy day one purchase for me, can’t wait.

I love the texture work in DK Bananza. Looks like Nintendo pulled a Marvel and hid Pauline from us. Love it and have it preordered.

Got to admit, if Nintendo had shown this during the Switch 2 presentation, I might not have jumped at buying the PS5. This really looks fun.

It was their tactic to spite those without the fate.

3rd parties seem unhappy with sales of their games on the Switch2.  General concensus amongst gamers seems to be that that's what you get for porting old games and releasing them on gamekey cards.

Personally I think it's too short of a timeframe to come to any conclusions.  The cost of the unit itself probably means most people didn't buy much more than MKW, which will heavily impact launch window software sales.  Only those that released half assed efforts hoping to capitalize on that early drought of games will probably suffer in the end.
