Switch 2’s flagship launch game, and its first major Nintendo first-party exclusive, is Mario Kart World. The first brand-new game in the series for more than a decade, World promises to be the biggest Mario Kart experience ever. It’s the launch game that almost everyone will buy.

Of course the Switch wouldn’t be the success it has been without its biggest games. In its first year, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe helped the console find a massive audience.
