With its new features that expand the possibilities of gaming experiences, I truly believe that Nintendo Switch 2 is a leap forward in our journey of putting smiles on the faces of everyone that Nintendo touches."

For racing enthusiasts, the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle is priced at $499.99 in the United States.

Given the current economic climate, there has been much debate about the Nintendo Switch 2's price. Experts noted back in January that factors like supply chain issues and potential tariffs could have influenced Nintendo's pricing strategy. Despite these concerns, analysts believe that the demand for the Nintendo Switch 2 will remain strong at launch, regardless of its price point.
