Mario Kart World is the headliner of the lineup

Mario Kart games are undoubtedly some of the most popular games on Nintendo platforms. Mario Kart 8 was one of the best-selling games on the platform and a fan favourite. It launched in 2014, and now, almost a decade later, Mario Kart World is here.

This is going to be Nintendo's flagship title for the Nintendo Switch 2, and it will also be priced higher than other launch titles. Nintendo has announced that it will cost $79.99 USD, which is noticeably more than some other games.

Nintendo is also bundling Mario Kart World with the Nintendo Switch 2, and the bundle will cost $499.99 USD.

As for the game itself, it will be an open-world experience. This is quite different from previous Mario Kart games. While there will still be traditional matches featuring multiple tracks, ultimately, players will face a new challenge.

Think of it as Nintendo’s take on Xbox’s Horizon games. It definitely has a similar vibe, but of course, with Nintendo’s signature magic on top.

You will also have your usual selection of Nintendo characters, including Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Koopa Troopa, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario, and more.
