Nintendo Switch 2 launch title Mario Kart World reinvents the formula in what is now a madcap 24-player open world adventure.

First-party Switch 2 games are now set at $80 for major releases, and other publishers will likely follow suit.

Mario Kart World is confirmed! Not only are we getting the largest roster of characters ever in a Mario Kart title, but the game will also feature costumes,

Two former marketing leads think it would be very "unconventional" for Nintendo to release the Switch 2 alongside the new Mario Kart game because the company usually promotes its more boundary-pushing projects as launch games, a la The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Super Mario 64.

The closest we got to a new Legend of Zelda game for the Nintendo Switch 2 was the announcement of Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment. The game's story directly precedes Tears of the Kingdom and it seems that Princess Zelda herself is the main character here.

1. The Switch 2’s flagship launch title looks set to be Mario Kart World, the first open-world Mario Kart game that will allow you to “drive almost anywhere”. 2. Many new tracks were seen in the trailer, including one based on the original Donkey Kong game and a metropolis that could be Super Mario Odyssey’s New Donk City.

Nintendo almost called the Nintendo Switch 2 the Super Nintendo Switch, but one important detail stopped them.

Nintendo showcased its Switch 2 console during a Nintendo Direct presentation, along with "Mario Kart World," FromSoftware's "The Duskbloods" and other games.

The company said Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza would be part of the early game lineup, also sharing details on the console’s technical upgrades.
