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

by Jonathan Apr 19,2025

At today's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo unveiled the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2, set to launch on June 5, 2025. The base model of the Nintendo Switch 2 will be available for $449.99. For those looking for a bit more value, a bundle including the new Mario Kart World game is offered at $499.99.

If you're considering purchasing Mario Kart World as a standalone title, be prepared for a price tag of $79.99, reflecting its status as a premium racing experience.

Nintendo has been cautious with game pricing in the past, with only one $70 title, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, released on the original Switch. However, the newly announced Donkey Kong Bananza will also be priced at $70, indicating a shift towards higher-priced games.
