Indie developer behind the last Wii U and 3DS games says Switch 2 Mario Kart textures are "extremely telling that this system is significantly more powerful" than the Switch

A screenshot from the reveal trailer for the Nintendo Switch 2, showing the console playing a Mario Kart game.

Nintendo may have given us less than three minutes of Nintendo Switch 2 goodness in its reveal trailer, but that's not stopped fans and developers alike from analyzing every last frame of it. One experienced developer who's worked on games for the Switch, Wii U, and 3DS is convinced that the Mario Kart gameplay footage shown off offers some big hints as to how powerful the new console is.

Jerrel Dulay is the solo indie developer behind Sungrand Studios and its unique game series Silver Falls, and is credited as being the last developer working on games to release on the Wii U and 3DS eShops (thanks, DualShockers). After racing to release multiple games on the Wii U and 3DS before their eShops shut down, not to mention his Nintendo Switch releases, it's fair to say he knows his stuff, making his analysis of what the apparent Mario Kart 9 footage shows compared to what we're used to on the regular Switch particularly interesting.
