I played the £75 Mario Kart World on Switch 2 - was it worth it?


The BBC gets hands-on with the hotly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, launching in June.

It looks spectacular compared to previous Switch titles, though we're still talking about cartoony graphics - make no mistake, the console is more powerful but it's no match for the higher spec PlayStation 5, let alone PS5 Pro. Some other titles I got to see in action were updated versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and Yakuza 0 - both of which big hitters on rival consoles which were deemed too complex to run on the original Switch. The "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" of 2023's smash hit Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom looks better than ever with higher resolution and frame rates - but will people buy the upgrade so soon after it first came out?
