The Nintendo Switch 2 is launching at a price of $449. There is a limited-time bundle that includes Mario Kart World that costs $499 (which, considering the game itself will retail for $79.99, is a good deal if you plan to buy Mario Kart anyway.)

The Nintendo Switch 2 has better graphics than the original, but it's notably more expensive and only has a couple of exclusive games so far.

Along with Mario Kart World, Amazon has store pages for the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Split Fiction is an early third-party highlight for the Nintendo Switch 2, but it also shines a light on the console's capacity issue.
