Mario Kart World Review

System: Switch 2
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo

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 promises to be the next evolution of the franchise, boasting a huge world for players to explore. For the most part, this feels like more of a novelty than a huge step forward – but it’s an added bonus in a game packed with content and attention to detail. 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).

The Nintendo Switch version of Off is a little bit closer as a release date was announced today. You’ll be able to pick it up on August 15, 2025.

Off, an acclaimed RPG that originally debuted in 2008, was previously confirmed for Nintendo Switch at the very end of 2024. We knew it was planned for this year, but beyond that, no further information was shared until now.
