Mario Kart World, huh?Today's Nintendo Direct and subsequent information dump answered many, many burning questions we've been asking about the Nintendo Switch 2, such as launch line-up and release date.

Fans had been waiting months for Nintendo’s big Switch 2 Direct. But one thing that’s dominated the conversation following the showcase isn’t the games or the features, it’s the Switch 2's $450 price tag.

Unfortunately, Mario Kart World is not a title that’s coming to both the original Switch and the Switch 2. Mario Kart World is the premier launch title for the Switch 2, and it’s not being developed for the original Switch in any capacity. While some new Switch 2 games will be made for the first Switch, that’s not the case here.
