At today's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo finally confirmed its highly-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 system will release on June 5, 2025.
While the Nintendo Switch 2 system itself will retail for $449.99, a bundle is also available with Mario Kart World included for $499.99.
If you'd prefer to purchase Mario Kart World separately, however, Nintendo's recommended retail price for its fan-favorite racer is an eye-watering $79.99.
Up until now, Nintendo only launched one $70 game on the original Switch, and that was the Legend of Zelda: Tears Of the Kingdom. Interestingly, the just-announced Donkey Kong Bananza is $70.
