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.)

Nintendo’s new Switch 2 is poised to be one of the most successful hardware releases of all time—just like its predecessor videogame console.
