The Direct will last for “roughly 15 minutes” – similar to the length of a Grand Prix race – providing more insights into the game on the Switch 2. Will fans be clamoring for a price drop during the event, similar to recent Treehouse livestreams?
Only time will tell, but the price of Mario Kart World has certainly stirred up some controversy, along with other pricing decisions by Nintendo for the Switch 2 Welcome Tour and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Switch 2.
In other Nintendo news, rumors suggest that Switch 2 pre-orders in the US and Canada may be reopening soon after being delayed to assess tariff impacts.
