Mario Kart World takes Nintendo into another open world | hands-on gameplay

Summary

• The new game, Mario Kart World, will be a launch title for Nintendo’s Switch 2 console.
• It has an open world map, where players can take side routes and explore in between races, adding a new element to the game.
• While it is fun to explore and there is a lot of character variety and humour in the action, does the addition of an open world element make sense for a racing game?
• And with both the game and the console expected to cost $80and$450 respectively, it might be a hard sell for Nintendo.
• The company will be revealing more details about the title on April 17.
