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.)

As promised, Nintendo has updated a bunch of Switch games to support the Switch 2. Unlike Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, these don't cost a dime. Just install them on your new console when it arrives, and enjoy next-gen enhancements.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Super Mario Odyssey, and others have all received widespread improvements on the Switch 2 console, as Nintendo releases the full patch notes. While the core appeal of the Switch 2 might hinge on new exclusives like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza,
