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

At today’s Nintendo Direct, the gaming world received exciting news: the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is officially set to launch on June 5, 2025.

The base model of the Nintendo Switch 2 will be available for a suggested retail price of $449.99. For those looking to get a head start on the fun, a special bundle featuring Mario Kart World will also be offered at $499.99.

Gamers who prefer to purchase Mario Kart World separately can do so, though the title carries a premium standalone price of $79.99, which may raise eyebrows among fans.

Notably, this marks only the second time Nintendo has released a $70 title on its Switch platform—following the precedent set by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Interestingly, the newly revealed Donkey Kong Bananza also joins the $70 tier.
