Huh? They are 2 completely different games.

Mario Kart 8 (released on the Wii U) became Mario Kart Deluxe (on the Switch, which is just MK8 with built-in DLC). Is that what you meant?

Somewhat. The Mario Kart franchise definitely isn't starting from scratch or changing any graphic style that radically. It feels more like a 'Deluxe-deluxe' from that trailer. Everything from the last entry, but connected tracks now.

Mario Kart deluxe has become Mario Kart world, among other things.

The opposite for me. I end up feeling guilty at calling my own situation bad when there are a number of folks dealing with ten times worse. To put things in perspective, there were folks recently that went out in real life like James Bond did in a movie.

And really it is my example for any other games I hesitate to try out. Ironically, I tried out Starfield thinking that I would dislike it and I do a bit, but there are great things in it as well:

-> Heat leeches
-> Terrormorphs
-> Having Sarah and Andreja tagging along at the same time (they will stop and talk to each other)
-> Departing in a ship (especially from Neon)
-> It is the game where I learned what Tikka Marsala is; I am not joking about this.

Yes games do technically look better, but do you care?

It is more like a cursed wish situation. Today's games have the graphics I always wanted to see back then with Battle Arena Toshinden and Soul Calibur 2, but now everything else about fighting games blow.

We're at the point now where people are actually starting to back to physical media

About time. You might have to wait a minute for MAX to release their shows on Dvd again. I was thankful the other day to rewatch some Yolo crystal fantasy (literally the show where I first heard of Tame Impala). Good luck in Warner brothers releasing a three-disc YoLO gift set with a Tame Impala t-shirt. (Tame Impalaaaaaaa)

All of this tech is just introducing new problems into our world with no benefit.

Back when we had televisions and telephones with dials, someone probably said the exact thing about remote controls. Just like with any technology, the bugs and kinks have to be worked out so that we can look back on what used to be and call it even.
