The Switch 2 Launch Lineup Already Has 1 Huge Advantage Over the Switch 1's
Mario Kart World

The Nintendo Switch 2 is on the horizon, and critics have raised concerns about its launch lineup, claiming that it might not live up to expectations. That said, the Switch 2 does have at least one big edge over the Switch 1’s original launch lineup. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild helped propel the original Switch to early success, but it wasn’t technically a true exclusive. It launched on Wii U the same day as it did on Switch, and it was originally developed with the Wii U in mind. That’s not the case this time around. Mario Kart World, Nintendo’s first major Switch 2 exclusive, won’t be playable on the original Switch at all. If you want the next big Mario Kart, you’ll have to upgrade.

Ex-Rockstar Dev Weighs In On Grand Theft Auto 6 Vs Mario Kart World
Mario Kart World

Mario Kart World is set to launch in just a few weeks, and Grand Theft Auto 6 is delayed to 2026, but that’s not stopping former Rockstar animator Mike York from weighing in on the two. York, who worked on both GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, recently took to YouTube to analyze GTA 6’s second trailer and didn’t hold back when sharing his thoughts. He praised the upcoming game’s staggering level of detail, especially its lighting, and speculated that visual fidelity like this may be part of why the game was pushed to May 2026. Using Mario Kart World as a benchmark, he argued that GTA 6 simply operates on a different level, saying: “you’ve got Mario Kart for $90 - you think Mario Kart competes with a game like this as far as how much stuff they’ve got to put into a game?”
