Mario Kart World's Switch 2 Box Art Is Packed With Delightful Details

That's a pretty nice box art! It's a shame almost no one is going to get it because the physical version is exorbitantly expensive compared to the Switch 2 bundle (exaggerating just a little bit)

I hope we are still having crossover characters like Link or Inkling

A game where you can play as cow. Perfection

Everyone is here(but with cars)

Wait, wait, wait wait! The ladybug enemy is playable?! You got me there somehow, as if they didn't with Moo Moo (the cow).

Playable Goomba isn't surprising, but playable Rocky Wrench? On top of Moo Moo? This might as well be Mario Kart Ultimate when it comes to the character roster!

Lovely keyart, although perhaps a bit too busy...!

I've not been blown away by this so far... looking forward to learning more in a couple of weeks. I really hope there's some missions and nice unlockables to reward exploration.

Wonder what the deluxe cheeseburger does

@Axecon play as a cow and have cheeseburger items is kinda cruel

Looks excellent. Reminds me of the Double Dash title screen.

Delightful $80 box art, how cheerful!

Great art. Love the logo, too.

Why is Donkey Kong holding a meaty burger in a Mario Kart game?

I am excited for the forza like free roam feature (will honestly do that more than race).

The game has style, I'll give it that. The new costumes and stuff are neat.

Again another great box art.

@Clark2k it was shown as a power up in the trailer.

Very nice, terrible border.

This is definitely an excellent box-art. I don't know how they could top this Mario Kart, and this box-art just shows how definitive it'll be!

Need help again.
Is there the usual like MK8 online racing against other people?
Stating with 1000 points etc?
It works so well and it so good.

Anyone noticed the Goomba on the left flying in his kart???
There are 2 goombas actually. Or more?

At that price, it better damn well be using a 32GB or 64GB cartridge and support GameShare (we haven't had Download Play since Mario Kart 7 on 3DS).

Love the box art, but sadly, if I win the Nintendo Lottery and can land the bundle, that is the way I'm going. That's too big of a discount on the game to pass up.

Now I just want to know a release date for Metroid Prime Beyond. Hopefully launch or at least close to it.

King Boo is finally on the box art of a game. I am so glad King Boo is being recognized as a main character

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT LOL, I hadn't thought about that

@Anti-Matter REGION LOCK????????

80 bucks so yeah, give me the 50$ bundle code

So...Why is no one talking about the lack of confirmation of local multiplayer?

@TheRazzBerry
Just wait until they ask you more money for DLC...

@Axecon
That cow is an inside joke. Its a reference in how they are going to milk more dollars out of you with DLC.

@Denoloco,

The recommend retail price for games rarely ends up being the final price you actually pay. Everybody was crying about TOTK retail reveal price. But all retailers were cheaper at launch. But I am glad for digital versions of games to be lower.... considering the lack of logistical costs etc...

I’ll take the $50 digital copy that come with the bundle, $80 for physical is wild

Any news about the size of that gamecase?

Not spending 80 bucks on a Mario game, sorry Nintendo. Will be skipping the Switch 2 until they offer more reasonable prices.

Slash the console price by $100 and games by $10+, or no deal. The fact that the thing can't even run Elden Ring at 30 fps while asking for that much is outrageous.

@johnvboy TOTK wasn't cheaper in my neck of the world. Retailers have done sales once in a while, yes, but not often.

Love the art!

However I'm not loving that massive red forehead at the top of the game case. Switch cases were so sleek.

I get needing to easily distinguish it from Switch 1 games, but the giant red banner is so ugly 😭

90 EUROS No words

I guess the wonderful art justifies the ridiculous price!

They have a less powerful console and they're effing the market by skyrocketing the price of their games. They've just opened the pricing floodgates.

From now on, only discounted or used games.

Screw you, Nintendo.

@DaSwitcher bigger than Switch cases, quite a bit wider

I have to say the boxart of this and Bananza look awesome and the colours are so vibrant. Really looking forward to collecting them, if they all look like this.

I'm so happy to see all these Mario enemies debuting as racers! And Moo Moo cow as a racer is the best!

@Max_the_German Where did you see 90€? Do you have a link? That'd be unacceptable.

@BTB20 it's $80 us as well, like this is a bonkers price tag. not sure if it was nintendo that made this decision, or recent events caused it...

While Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds could travel through different worlds during a race, Mario Kart World could travel around the world in a race. Nice mix of different flavoring there from both Sega and Nintendo.

Stick it in my veins!!!!!!

@Axecon At this point Nintendo could include one of the flying pig from Donkey Kong Land in a Mario Kart game as a racer and I'll still be okay with it.

I want to be the penguin

Geez, the box art itself needs 4K. It looks like the Smash Ultimate treatment.

@dazzleshell Nice find! I wanted a Penguin racer. Nintendo is really going all out.

Yup, I was 100% wrong about this

It's pricey. but the switch 2 is my final nintendo system. so i am going to get it launch day and mario kart world too

@Max_the_German I feel you dear neighbor. In switzerland it's gonna cost 80 chf. Rip my wallet.

@Dev-N I noticed it straight away in the trailer. 😁

@dazzleshell If only there weren't technical difficulties for me during that trailer and I missed a chunk of it...

@Clark2k it's an item

@fenlix on the game's website it says that it has 4-player local multiplayer

The one detail on the box I don't like is the 89 followed by a € sign

I'm really looking forward to Mario Kart Horizon.

@BTB20 Here:

Who is the dog (?) character under DK's burger?

Rated E for Todos

@Max_the_German Thanks, that's crazy and sucks.
@MysteriousMudkip Yeah I saw all the prices now. 90€ and $80 for Mario Kart. Digital is cheaper at least but 80€ for digital is still to much.

@Ulysses,

Pretty much all Nintendo first party games are cheaper at launch; TOTK was £70 but it was easily available for £60.

So are the actual cases now red plastic, because if they are then what about the interior box art? It would be a real shame to no longer get artwork on the inside of the case like with Switch 1 cases.

I am more excited about the vehicle types. Jetski?! Sign me up!

@Clyde_Radcliffe monty mole.

@johnvboy That's great for you in the UK, where you have healthier retailer competition. Here in the US however, the major retailers coordinate their sales at the same time, so that everyone can keep their prices high for longer (this should be regulated as collusion, but hardly any laws are enforced). This is especially true for Nintendo games. I follow games on Deku Deals and receive emails when any retailer lowers the price on followed games, and I can tell you I only get those emails a few times a year for the most popular Nintendo games, if that.

@Ulysses,

Sounds very unfair of them.

@johnvboy Yes; unfair is a sadly accurate summation of American capitalism.
