While we may still have questions around Switch 2 's pricing and mouse controls, extensive hands-on time with Nintendo's new console has left us in no doubt of one thing: Mario Kart World is an absolute banger . Join us today as we hear more directly from Nintendo on its biggest Switch 2 launch title, and - if you're not sold yet - maybe you'll see something that ultimately helps justify Mario Kart World 's standalone £80 cost. Nintendo's Mario Kart World Direct kicks off at 2pm UK time - that's 9am Eastern, or a 6am Pacific if you're over the pond - and is set to last for around 15 minutes.
