The biggest Nintendo Switch 2 title at launch is Mario Kart World, which retails for a hefty £74.95 at release, making it seem like these are the prices we can expect for first-party Nintendo titles going forward.

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 Donkey Kong Bananza release date is Thursday 17th July 2025, Nintendo has confirmed. This places the game just over a month away from the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 console itself. In lieu of a big new 3D Mario platformer, this seems like the first big Switch 2 exclusive that is aimed at single-player fans.
