Nintendo Switch Game Prices Reach Staggering

Though Nintendo shied away from discussing prices during its Switch 2-focused Direct, we now have our first look at what some of the console's new games will cost, and they're certainly not cheap.

Shortly after the Nintendo Direct ended, Nintendo updated its official website with information pertaining to the upcoming Switch 2 release. In addition to sharing the console's hefty price tag, the site also gave us a bit more insight on how much Switch 2-exclusive games will cost.

Among those shared is Mario Kart World, which is arguably the biggest day-one selling-point for the console. According to Nintendo's North American website, the suggested retail price for the title is $80, though it notes that the "actual price may vary." To make matters more interesting, however, a visit to Nintendo's Spanish website reveals two prices for Mario Kart World: €80 for digital copies and a staggering €90 for physical editions. Conversation rates aside--though it should be noted that €90 is nearly $100--this seems to indicates that America will also see a pricing difference between digital and physical versions, meaning Mario Kart World is at least $80.
