During today's Nintendo Direct, the gaming giant unveiled the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2, set to launch on June 5, 2025. The base model of the Nintendo Switch 2 will be priced at $449.99. For those looking for a bit more value, Nintendo is offering a bundle that includes the new Mario Kart World game for just $499.99.
If you're interested in purchasing Mario Kart World separately, be prepared for a price tag of $79.99, reflecting Nintendo's continued push towards higher-priced games. To put this in context, the original Nintendo Switch only saw one $70 game with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, while the newly announced Donkey Kong Bananza also comes with a $70 price.
