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.

A Nintendo executive offers some more insight into why the company is charging as much as it is for Mario Kart World and other Switch 2 titles.

In an interview with The Post, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser explains the company’s approach to pricing its new games.
