Nintendo gave brief looks at various games as part of today’s Nintendo Switch trailer. One title we were able to see is Mario Kart. It looks quite comparable to Mario Kart 8, but there are some differences.

First, it looks like King Boo is on the roster. It also seems that two item slots will be featured. We might be getting Mario Kart 8 on Nintendo Switch, but there will definitely be some changes if it’s the same game.

REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 20, 2016 – In an introductory video released today (http://www.nintendo.com/switch), Nintendo provided the first glimpse of its new home gaming system and revealed that it is called Nintendo Switch. In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system also enables gamers to play the same title wherever, whenever and with whomever they choose. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system to enable unprecedented new video game play styles.

At home, Nintendo Switch rests in the Nintendo Switch Dock that connects the system to the TV and lets you play with family and friends in the comfort of your living room. By simply lifting Nintendo Switch from the dock, the system will instantly transition to portable mode, and the same great gaming experience that was being enjoyed at home now travels with you. The portability of Nintendo Switch is enhanced by its bright high-definition display. It brings the full home gaming system experience with you to the park, on an airplane, in a car, or to a friend’s apartment.

What exactly is the NX? One tomorrow’s preview trailer arrives, we should have a much better idea. But for now, there is still plenty of uncertainty surrounding the system.

Interestingly, Nintendo is labeling NX as a “home gaming system”. That comes directly from the company’s North American home page here.

Stay tuned.
