At today's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo officially unveiled the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, set to launch on June 5, 2025. The new console will be available at a retail price of $449.99. For those looking for a bit more value, a bundle including the game Mario Kart World will be offered at $499.99.
For fans eager to get their hands on Mario Kart World without the bundle, the game will be available separately at a recommended retail price of $79.99. This pricing strategy marks a significant jump, considering that on the original Nintendo Switch, only one game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, was priced at $70. Interestingly, the newly announced Donkey Kong Bananza will also retail for $70.
