Nintendo will retail the Switch 2 for $449.99 at launch, which is significantly higher than the original Switch's $299 price tag. A separate bundle that includes the new "Mario Kart World" game will also be available for $499.99.

Mario Kart World is giving kart racing a whole new look with brand-new vehicles, items, costumes, characters and tracks.
