Summary

  • The upcoming Mario Kart World, set to launch as a title for Nintendo’s Switch 2, is an improvement on previous Mario Kart games, due to its open-world setting, and ability for up to 24 players to compete simultaneously.
  • However, Venture Beat questions whether the game will be worth the additional cost of purchasing a Nintendo Switch 2, as opposed to just buying a game cartridge for the current Switch, or whether gamers will even buy into the concept of an open-world Mario Kart at all.
  • In addition, the article suggests that the game’s quality could be affected by the additional pressures of the US-China trade war, which is impacting on prices and supply chains.
