During today's Nintendo Direct, the gaming giant unveiled the much-awaited Nintendo Switch 2, set to hit the shelves on June 5, 2025. The base model of the Nintendo Switch 2 will be available at a retail price of $449.99. For those looking for a bit more, a special bundle including the new Mario Kart World game is offered at $499.99.
For fans eager to get their hands on Mario Kart World without the console, the game will be available separately at a recommended retail price of $79.99. This pricing strategy marks a significant jump, especially when compared to the original Switch's game pricing, where only one title, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, was priced at $70. Interestingly, the newly announced Donkey Kong Bananza also comes with a $70 price tag.
