Nintendo has finally revealed its forthcoming Switch 2 console with gameplay of a new Mario Kart game.

The new console is seen playing brand new Mario Kart footage, with characters racing on Mario Bros. Circuit set in a desert, with Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, Toad and more featured on both karts and bikes.

The final shot shows a wide highway next to a Yoshi fast food outlet and a wide expanse of desert. Could this be some sort of open world?

An update from NintendoWatch on YouTube

No title or release date has been given, but its inclusion in the Switch 2 announcement suggests it will be a launch game.

Below are more screens of the game from the reveal trailer:

The Switch 2 was announced today after months of leaks and speculation.

The announcement provided a look at its new, larger design and magnetic Joy-Con as well as the Mario Kart footage.

A Nintendo Direct will take place on 2nd April where presumably we’ll see more of the launch line-up, Mario Kart most likely featuring heavily.
