Mario Kart World

Since Nintendo’s recent Direct regarding the Switch 2 and its games, the company has updated its website with details about some of the announced games. While not updated all over the world, the website has given us an idea about how much games for the Switch 2 will end up costing.

Spotted by social media platform X user Elesnicho, launch title for the Switch 2, Mario Kart World, is priced at €89.99 for the physical edition. The digital release is priced at €79.99. This is quite a bit of a step up for Nintendo’s games, which have traditionally stuck to the €60 and €70 price segments.

Noticeable on the Spanish Switch 2 website, Donkey Kong Bananza has its pricing resemble some of the later games from the Switch’s library. The digital release of Donkey Kong Bananza is priced at €69.99, while a physical copy is priced at €79.99.

Considering the differences in pricing for both titles, it looks like Nintendo will be considering the prices for its titles on a game-by-game basis. This also allows the company to have greater flexibility, with being able to make and release smaller scale games without having to match the same €79.99 price tag that a major release would likely entail.

Interestingly, for both games, there is a €10 difference in price between the physical and digital versions. This might end up being a trend we see carried forward in other games for the Switch 2 as well.
