An unexpected scandal has broken out in the world of video games: the new instalment of the cult racing series Mario Kart World, as we already know, will cost $80, which is $10 more than the ambitious open-world adventure Ghost of Yōtei.

Despite the scandalous launch of Cyberpunk 2077 on last-gen consoles, CD Projekt Red assures that Nintendo Switch 2 owners will receive a much better version of the game.

While pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 have already started in some parts of the world (and in some places have closed instantly due to the high demand), Nintendo has to warn potential buyers about the rise of fraudsters trying to swindle personal data from eager fans.

Nintendo is not going to let the large-scale Pokemon data breach that occurred in October 2024 go unchallenged and is taking decisive steps to identify the culprit.
