The Switch 2’s Most Important Launch Game Isn’t Mario Kart World
- Nintendo will launch Mario Kart World as a key title for the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025.
- Developers initially struggled to realize their vision for Mario Kart World on the original Switch due to hardware limitations and performance concerns.
- The game evolved into an interconnected open-world racer featuring over 100 course variations, 24-player races, and new modes like Knockout Tour enabled by Switch 2’s improved power.
- Producer Kosuke Yabuki noted that creating the game for the original Nintendo Switch presented challenges in including all desired features, which contributed to the decision to postpone its release until the Switch 2.
- Mario Kart World’s launch will test the new hardware’s capabilities and help Nintendo confirm Switch 2 can support major titles without performance drops.
