While we may still have questions around Switch 2’s pricing and mouse controls, extensive hands-on time with Nintendo’s new console has left us in no doubt of one thing: Mario Kart World is an absolute banger.
Join us today as we hear more directly from Nintendo on its biggest Switch 2 launch title, and – if you’re not sold yet – maybe you’ll see something that ultimately helps justify Mario Kart World’s standalone £80 cost.
Nintendo’s Mario Kart World Direct kicks off at 2pm UK time – that’s 9am Eastern, or a 6am Pacific if you’re over the pond – and is set to last for around 15 minutes. We’ll be reporting live – let us know what you want to see!
Looking to catch up on what we know so far?
I went hands-on with Mario Kart World immediately after the Switch 2 was revealed, and came away very impressed indeed. It is clearly the console’s killer app – and a bold reinvention of the series’ familiar gameplay.
