During today's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo unveiled the much-awaited Nintendo Switch 2, set to launch on June 5, 2025. The base model of the Nintendo Switch 2 will be available at a retail price of $449.99. For those looking for a bit more value, a bundle including Mario Kart World is offered at $499.99.
For fans interested in purchasing Mario Kart World separately, the game is priced at $79.99, reflecting its status as a fan-favorite in Nintendo's lineup.
In a notable pricing move, Nintendo has only previously released one $70 game on the original Switch, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The newly announced Donkey Kong Bananza will also be priced at $70, continuing this trend.
