Mario Kart Teased as Flagship Game for Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2

Nintendo, while maintaining silence on Switch 2’s specs, excited fans with the unveiling of what looks like the first confirmed game for the new console – Mario Kart. This teasing glimpse offers a fresh take on the time-honored racing sensation.

Details about the new Mario Kart remain slim. Yet, the snippet shown in the trailer reveals customary gameplay, a sure nostalgia trip for Mario Kart veterans. The game is anticipated to launch later this year, marking five years since Mario Kart Live’s introduction and becoming the 16th main title in the series, initially launched in 1992.

Switch’s initial launch in 2017 was carried by the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Like the console itself, the game received rave reviews. Its sequel followed in 2023, gathering equally high praise.

The Switch 2, set to retain some similarities with its predecessor, has already won over a potential audience through its ability to play games from the Switch’s existing library.

For more details on this upcoming console, fans are encouraged to tune into Nintendo Direct airing on April 2, dedicated exclusively to the new Switch 2.
