Nintendo held its Mario Kart World Direct on Thursday morning to show off the flagship game that'll launch with the Switch 2 in June. But even as the company showed off the game's new features, most people watching wanted one thing: For Nintendo to lower the price. Mario Kart World received backlash when it was revealed to have an $80 price tag after the Switch 2 reveal event on April 2.

Today, a short livestreamed video presentation gave a bit of extra information about how exactly the full version of the free-roaming Nintendo Switch 2 launch game will work in practice.

I've been called a masochist at times, and it's probably true. About 9 months ago I had an idea that the Nim language is able to get pretty wide hardware/OS support for "free" by compiling the language to C, and then letting standard C compilers take it from there. I theorized that the same could be done for .net, allowing .net code to be run on platforms without having to build native runtimes, interpretors, or AOT for each one individually. Fast forward a bit and I have a my dntc (Dotnet to C

The Nintendo Switch 2’s high price point came as a surprise, and not a pleasant one, when it was revealed after the console’s Direct. The console itself is going to cost $450 at launch, $500 if it comes bundled with launch title Mario Kart World. It also revealed that World will cost $80. This seemed like a huge jump up in price from Nintendo’s previous titles, and potentially one that players couldn’t afford. Is this going to be the norm going forward?

You have to go all the way back to the Nintendo 64 to play the most recent 3D Donkey Kong game. But without a new mainline Zelda or Mario title ( Mario Kart World doesn't quite count) queued up for the Switch 2's launch in June, Nintendo's favorite ape is getting some time to shine in Donkey Kong Bananza . And after getting a chance to play a demo of the game prior to its release on July 17, I have to say I'm loving this glowed-up gorilla. Now, I'm not entirely sure how DK went from the jungle

One of the games I had on my personal Nintendo Switch 2 bingo card was a new 3D Mario. We didn’t get one at the Switch 2 hands-on, and at first I thought it was odd that Nintendo would be launching their next big thing without a dedicated title for their number one guy. But after playing Donkey Kong Bananza I realized that, while we’re due for a new Mario game, Bananza is perfectly positioned to fill the plumber-shaped platforming hole.

A new Mario Kart is usually built around some kind of notable feature. Double Dash added co-op play, while the DS iteration let you play other people online. With Mario Kart 8, it was gravity-defying tracks and, later, the idea of expanding the game through DLC courses. With Mario Kart World, perhaps the biggest launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, there isn’t one single innovation that sets it apart.

Nintendo is betting that gamers will believe that Mario Kart World will be worth playing on the new Nintendo Switch 2. But it may be hard to convince them to put their money down for an $80 game and a $450 game console. Those prices were probably impacted by Trump’s tariffs, but they represent a big hurdle for players. So is the Mario Kart World worth it?
