Nintendo has showcased extensive gameplay for Mario Kart World, which launches on day one for the Switch 2. However, it has a dedicated Direct planned for the kart racer on April 17th at 6 AM PT. The YouTube link is live, confirming the presentation will be approximately 15 minutes long.
The real question is what Nintendo could reveal that we haven’t already seen. Following the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, it provided an in-depth look at Grand Prix and Free Roam alongside new features like rail riding and wall riding. Fans can also expect new features like dynamic weather and day/night cycles, and new power-ups like the Coin Shell and Feather.
Mario Kart World launches on June 5th for Nintendo Switch 2, retailing for $79.99. The price received a mixed response, though Nintendo of America’s VP of product and player experience, Bill Trinen, feels it’s justified. He also called it the “richest Mario Kart experience” yet.
