Nintendo Direct focused on Switch 2: Apr 2nd.

Looks like joy-cons will have 'mouse-like' functionality and there's a 'C' on right joy-con but its functionality is not reveled. New Mario Kart showcased would probably be one of the first exclusives.

That's not one of the gazillion Mario Kart 8 tracks.

To be fair, if we’re going by track alone, there’s nothing to say it’s not just a new track for the Switch 2 release (or even just released at the same time, but available on both).

There would be a certain beauty in releasing Mario Kart 8 for the third console in a row.
