Nintendo previously published an extensive “Ask the Developer” interview with the development team of Mario Kart World, revealing that the game was first planned for the original Nintendo Switch. Due to hardware limitations, the project was able to be fully realized when it moved to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2020.
Nintendo Switch 2 launched on June 5 for $449.99. A bundle is available for $499.99 featuring Mario Kart World. Mario Kart World is available separately for $79.99.
