Switch 2’s flagship launch game, and its first major Nintendo first-party exclusive, is Mario Kart World. The first brand-new game in the series for more than a decade, World promises to be the biggest Mario Kart experience ever. It’s the launch game that almost everyone will buy.

But if it’s simply the internals that are driving the console’s price up, it did make me wonder why there’s such a huge variance between the Japanese-language Switch 2 (which will cost 49,980 yen, or approximately $343) and the Switch 2 that supports all languages, whose price is more than $100 higher than that in some regions.
