If you somehow haven't gotten your fill of Nintendo Directs over the last few weeks, don't worry, there's yet another one tomorrow. This one is focused on Mario Kart World only. It'll be at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET / 2 p.m. BT, and will last about 15 minutes.
Nintendo actually announced this Direct last week during its Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, but has just confirmed the length as-of today. You'll be able to watch the Direct in a number of places, including Nintendo's official channel or right here at IGN. Our Nintendo Voice Chat crew will be doing a live reaction to the Direct, which you can catch here on the website, or on our YouTube channel.
As for what we're expecting to be there…well, Mario Kart World! We already got a look at the game at last week's Nintendo Direct and our subsequent hands-on preview, but there's still so much we don't know. One big question we're hoping to hear more about is how the game's Free Roam mode will work that lets players just drive around the world. Though we've seen a tiny bit of it in action, we don't fully know just how it will work yet.
We're also curious to see more about the character roster and how costumes work. Again, this is something we've seen some of in trailers and previews, but there are still a lot of lingering questions on what the different character outfits do, why some characters have them and others don't, and so forth. And of course, we're hoping to see more new courses…maybe even a brand new Rainbow Road?
Mario Kart World continues to be the subject of consternation among fans due to its $80 price, which many fans are concerned heralds a new era of even more expensive games that may price them out of the Nintendo Switch 2. Hopefully, tomorrow's Direct will give plenty of reasons to justify spending that much on the game.
