Mario Kart 8 and its Deluxe update have been around so long it's easy to forget that the game actually predates the Switch and can trace its origins way back to the Wii U. But every good run must come to an end,

Nintendo will retail the Switch 2 for $449.99 at launch, which is significantly higher than the original Switch's $299 price tag. A separate bundle that includes the new "Mario Kart World" game will also be available for $499.99.

But the games are a different story: Mario Kart World, which is being launched alongside the Switch 2, comes in at £74.99. "It makes it inaccessible, it's a lot to drop on one game," said Chloe Crossan, one of several gamers the BBC spoke to at a gaming store in Glasgow.
