Switch 2 Launch Title Goes Opposite Direction Of Mario Kart World Pricing

by

Summary

  • Some Switch 2 games may be priced higher than PS5, Xbox titles, disappointing fans. (120 characters)
  • Fast Fusion, exclusive Switch 2 racing game, priced at $14.99, much cheaper than Mario Kart World ($80). (109 characters)
  • Despite higher game prices, most gamers still keen on Switch 2 release, showing cost isn’t a major barrier. (108 characters)

One potential rephrasing could be: A significant letdown upon the unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2 was learning that certain games on this platform would cost more than we’re accustomed to paying for titles on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Although this isn’t ideal, things are as they are. Fortunately, in contrast to Nintendo’s approach, many third-party game creators have chosen a different path, with some deliberately taking an opposite direction.

One Switch 2-Exclusive Racing Game Out At Launch Will Be Priced Super Low

Among the five Nintendo Switch 2-exclusive titles debuting at launch, the high-speed racing game Fast Fusion stands out as one of the most budget-friendly options. While Mario Kart World is priced historically at $80, gamers can grab Fast Fusion for just $14.99, making it an appealing choice for those looking to satisfy their racing gaming needs without breaking the bank on Mario Kart World.

The game is being created by Shin’en Multimedia GmbH, a German studio, and it shares similarities with Mario Kart as it belongs to the arcade racing genre. Notable aspects of this game include:

Hypersonic Speed

You might not believe it, but this is the swiftest racing game you’ve likely encountered! It delivers uninterrupted high-intensity action at a smooth 60 frames per second, and for an even more vivid experience, it can be enjoyed in up to 4K High Dynamic Range.

Antigravity Jumps

FAST Fusion automobiles feature advanced anti-gravity leap-technology, allowing you to leapfrog opponents and gain an edge by soaring above them.

Vehicle Fusion

Create hundreds of new Racing machines by fusing your favorite vehicles.

Hyper tracks

Zoom through Redwood Forest, Alpine peaks, futuristic cities and many more breathtaking landscapes.

Motion Controls, HD Rumble

Play with smooth motion controls, enjoy immersive HD Rumble and customize the buttons.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t wait to dive into Fast Fusion! This game offers a multiplayer mode where you can team up with three friends and play together on a single screen. Plus, it’s compatible with the console’s game-sharing technology, allowing even more people to join in the fun without needing multiple copies of the game.

For gamers in the U.S., Mario Kart World will cost $80, while European players will find it pricier at €90, roughly equivalent to $102. It’s worth noting that Fast Fusion, a smaller-scale racing game, costs nearly four times as much. Each gamer must decide for themselves whether the price is justified.

Currently, Fast Fusion is only available for the Switch 2, but the creators might make it accessible on different systems down the line.

I empathize with gamers who are anxious about the prospect of $80 games becoming standard, but it seems that many of these gamers are eagerly anticipating purchasing a Switch 2 at launch, which suggests that an additional $10 might not deter them from getting what they want, possibly indicating to Nintendo and the industry that this price increase doesn’t significantly affect their buying decision.
