Looking to catch up on what we know so far?

I went hands-on with Mario Kart World immediately after the Switch 2 was revealed, and came away very impressed indeed. It is clearly the console’s killer app – and a bold reinvention of the series’ familiar gameplay.

“Mario Kart World’s reinvention of the series may be a gamble, but it’s absolutely one I think will pay off,” I wrote earlier this month. “With a web of possible routes and hours of time likely to be spent exploring every corner of its highways, deserts and mountains – or racing to stay ahead of the competition in Knockout Tour – it’s just as well the game’s a Switch 2 launch title. I absolutely can’t wait to play more.”
