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

At today's exciting Nintendo Direct, Nintendo thrilled fans by confirming the launch date for their eagerly awaited Nintendo Switch 2 system, set for June 5, 2025. The new console will be available at a retail price of $449.99. For those looking for a bit more value, a special bundle including the highly anticipated Mario Kart World will be offered at $499.99. If you're a fan of the iconic racing game and prefer to buy it separately, be prepared for a price tag of $79.99.

Nintendo has traditionally kept game prices on the lower side, with only one $70 title released for the original Switch, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. However, the newly announced Donkey Kong Bananza will also be priced at $70, signaling a potential shift in their pricing strategy.
