At today's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo officially announced the launch date for the highly-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, set for June 5, 2025. The new system will be available at a retail price of $449.99. For those looking for more value, a bundle option is available that includes Mario Kart World for $499.99.

If you're considering purchasing Mario Kart World separately, be prepared for a price tag of $79.99, reflecting Nintendo's continued trend of setting higher prices for its popular titles. This pricing strategy is evident with the original Switch's $70 game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and the newly announced Donkey Kong Bananza, also priced at $70.
