Mario Kart World: $80 Solo, $50 with Switch 2 Bundle

At today's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo unveiled the much-awaited Nintendo Switch 2, set to hit the shelves on June 5, 2025. Priced at $449.99, the new system promises to elevate gaming experiences to new heights. For fans eager to dive into action, a bundle including the eagerly anticipated Mario Kart World is available for $499.99, offering a comprehensive package right out of the box.

For those who prefer to build their collection piece by piece, Mario Kart World can be purchased separately at a recommended retail price of $79.99. This marks a significant investment for fans of the iconic racing series.

Nintendo has traditionally maintained competitive pricing on its games, with only one title on the original Switch, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, reaching the $70 price point. However, the newly announced Donkey Kong Bananza is set to join this elite group at the same $70 price.
