Here's What We Know

Trinen emphasised that the upcoming Mario Kart World presentation, scheduled for 17 April, will provide more details about the game, which he said will help players evaluate its content and justify the price.

The announcement of the $80 price has sparked debate among gamers. Some have expressed concern about the rising cost of games, especially given the already increased standard price for new releases to $70.

It is hoped that the additional content and improvements in Mario Kart World will really meet the expectations of players and the price.
