At today's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo officially unveiled the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2, set to launch on June 5, 2025. This next-generation console will be available at a retail price of $449.99. For those looking to dive straight into the action, a special bundle featuring the new Mario Kart World game is offered at $499.99, providing an excellent value for fans eager to experience the latest in racing entertainment.
For gamers interested in purchasing Mario Kart World separately, the game comes with a recommended retail price of $79.99, reflecting its high-quality content and the excitement it's expected to bring to the franchise.
It's worth noting that while Nintendo has historically been cautious with pricing, the original Switch saw only one $70 game release, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. In a similar vein, the newly announced Donkey Kong Bananza will also be priced at $70, signaling a shift towards higher-priced premium titles.
