Initially, the Joy-Con controllers of the original Nintendo Switch were exceptionally innovative for their time due to their detachable nature, transforming into two individual controllers even eight years post-launch. However, these original Joy-Cons had their flaws, such as compact buttons and the troublesome stick-drift, preventing them from achieving true greatness. Now, with the unveiling of the Joy-Cons for the Nintendo Switch 2, we see improvements rather than a complete overhaul.

Instead, let me rephrase it for you: It’s even more exciting that those eagerly anticipating Mario Kart World won’t have to wait too long before they can delve deeper into the upcoming installment of the franchise. A dedicated Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct event is scheduled for April 17, providing fans with a closer look at the game’s features when it’s released this summer in just a couple of weeks.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve found that Nintendo Switch Online has been a significant and debated aspect in Nintendo’s recent game distribution approach. On one side, the service offers a vast library of retro games for a reasonable subscription cost, effectively functioning like a “Game Pass” exclusively for classic Nintendo titles. However, the fact that these classic games are locked behind a subscription has been seen as less than consumer-friendly by many. They prefer the option to purchase individual games rather than paying a recurring fee for access to several. Yet, it’s exciting to know that the games-on-demand section of Nintendo Switch Online is set to grow on the Nintendo Switch 2, now including GameCube games as well!

I can’t help but express my admiration for the enduring success of “Scream,” a cinematic masterpiece in the slasher genre. This chilling tale revolves around the enigmatic Ghostface killer, who employs telephone calls to taunt victims and instill dread before executing their grisly demise. The original film, released in 1996, was a breakthrough hit, its success undeniable as it paved the way for several sequels. As I write this, preparations are underway for “Scream 7,” with one of the original stars sharing their child’s thrilling response to watching the movie.

One interesting hypothetical question put forth about Oda was: What professions might the Straw Hat Pirates have if they were in the real world, assuming piracy isn’t an option? Echoing a fresh perspective on the Straw Hat Crew, the creator of One Piece, Oda, presents an alternate vision, even incorporating some surprising picks. However, since these roles aren’t officially established yet, interpretations abound regarding the jobs of the Straw Hat Pirates outside their current pirate duties, until Oda formally establishes it as canon.

Over the past few months, some prospective purchasers have been mentioned in the media, including Bobby Kotick and the proprietors of Kick.com.

It appears that the anticipated release of the Nintendo Switch 2 is confirmed, along with an expensive price point, prompting debates on game pricing. However, surprisingly little has been said about its name, despite expectations it would be called the Nintendo Switch 2; instead, it was simply referred to as such, and there were almost instances where it wouldn’t have this designation.

Approximately one month following the debut of Switch 2, “Donkey Kong Bananza” is slated for release, with “Kirby Air Riders” planned for later in 2025. “Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment” will arrive this winter, and a brand-new game from FromSoftware, titled “The Duskbloods“, is expected to debut as an exclusive on Switch 2 in 2026. While there are many exciting games for the Switch 2 scheduled for release later this year and beyond, most seem to be centered around the console’s initial lineup offerings.

The long-anticipated broadcast for the Nintendo Switch 2 has now taken place, and during it, the debut of “Mario Kart” – officially known as “Mario Kart: World” – was one of the initial reveals. This fresh installment boasts larger circuits, along with the confirmation of multiplayer races involving 24 participants. The upcoming “Mario Kart: World” is set to introduce a host of innovative features to the series.

Two types of Nintendo Switch 2 are set for pre-ordering: the standard version priced at $449.99 and a special edition featuring the newly unveiled “Mario Kart World” for $499.99.

It’s important to note that the limited-time bundle offering “Mario Kart World” along with the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to end in Fall 2025, so anyone keen on obtaining the game alongside the console should act promptly.
