Nintendo Switch 2 vs Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle

Both are the same Switch 2 hardware: 7.9-inch 1080p HDR screen, 256 GB storage, 4K docked output, magnetic Joy-Con 2. The only real difference is the bundle. The Mario Kart World Edition adds a full game download, so it is the better buy for anyone who wants a multiplayer racer on day one. Buy the console-only version if you already own Mario Kart World, prefer a different first game, or want the red colorway. Owners of the base system rate it 4.6 from over 12,000 ratings and call it a clear upgrade with a sturdy build; the bundle has far fewer ratings but the same hardware.

• Choose the Switch 2 System if you want the console on its own and will pick your own first game, or you already own Mario Kart World.
• Choose the Mario Kart World Edition if you want a game ready to play out of the box and a racer that suits family and party play.
