Long before you even had the chance to buy a Switch 2, you’ve probably had some thoughts of what you’ll be doing with the new console once it arrives. The logical answer is “I will play Mario Kart World,” and I respect those of you who feel that way. I, too, will be playing some World, in part because it’s one of the few game series that my wife and I enjoy playing together (and I need to justify this purchase somehow).
