Thousands of games are currently available on Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.

Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.

The best character and kart combos in Mario Kart World

Posted on 3 days ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments

Today, we’re going over some of the best character and kart combos in Mario Kart World.

If you’ve played online in Mario Kart World so far, then you may have noticed certain characters and especially karts are more popular than others. Indeed, only a few weeks after the game’s launch, players have already determined the best character and kart combos to use. That being said, there isn’t one specific combo that’s best for every mode. Depending on the exact mode you’re playing, be it online or Time Trials or Grand Prix, the optimal character and kart changes. Of course, you don’t have to use an “optimal” build by any means – for the most part, you can get away with playing your favorite character as long as the stats you wind up with are fairly balanced.

Mario Kart World 150cc Knockout Tour guide – how to easily win

Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments

Today, we’re going over some tips and strategies on how to more easily win in Mario Kart World’s new Knockout Tour mode.

In order to unlock all the content Mario Kart World has to offer, you’ll have to earn 3 stars on every single cup in both Grand Prix and Knockout Tour. We’ve already covered tricks for Grand Prix via our corresponding guide, but today we’re focusing on strategies that apply specifically to Knockout Tour. Compared to Grand Prix mode, Knockout Tour places a much higher emphasis on straight pathways – which means the Speed stat is incredibly important here.

Mario Kart World 150cc Grand Prix guide

Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments

Today, we’re going over some tips and tricks on how to more easily win in Mario Kart World’s Grand Prix mode with a new guide.

Mario Kart World is available now on Nintendo Switch 2, and players have noticed that Grand Prix mode isn’t quite as easy this time around. One of the game’s main goals is to earn three stars on every Grand Prix cup on 150cc – when you do that, the 50cc and 100cc automatically earn gold stars even if you’ve never played them. That being said, the CPUs on 150cc are particularly challenging. They’re fast, they drift, they take shortcuts, and they wait until the best moment to use powerful items. This makes 150cc Grand Prix races surprisingly challenging – much more so than previous titles in the series (or at least recent ones).

Mario Kart World unlockable outfits guide and full list

Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments

One of the big new features in Mario Kart World is the ability to unlock outfits for different characters. Most of the drivers in this game have plenty of costumes choose from – with the exception of Donkey Kong and Pauline, who only have one outfit each. Furthermore, some drivers, like Wiggler, Nabbit, and all of the minion characters, are designated as NPC drivers. This means that they don’t have any costumes to choose from at all.

Mario Kart World unlockable characters guide

Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments

With Mario Kart World now available on Nintendo Switch 2, we’ve put together a guide on how to obtain each of its hidden unlockable characters with a list.

At launch, there are six main characters to unlock (main meaning they have additional costumes) and 18 NPC drivers to unlock (who do not have additional costumes). Mario Kart World’s day one patch unlocks a few additional NPC drivers from the start, so if you see some of the characters below already unlocked, that’s why.
