Release date: June 5, 2025

Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here, and with it comes the first new main series Mario Kart game since Mario Kart 8 on Wii U way back in 2014.

Mario Kart World is truly a remarkable masterwork of graphics, music, details, and gameplay – and it’s one you should absolutely try out if you’re planning on getting a Nintendo Switch 2 (and are either okay with the price tag or are purchasing the bundle).
