June 5 (UPI) -- Nintendo released on Thursday its next console, a sequel to the best-selling Switch named Switch 2.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is available to purchase for $449, or in a $499 bundle that includes new title Mario Kart World.
A standalone copy of Mario Kart World retails for $79.99, meaning customers can save money on the Switch 2's premiere game with the bundle.
The Switch 2, like its predecessor, is a home console that can be taken on the go. New features include a 7.9-inch screen that supports 4K resolution when docked and connected to a television, and a voice chat system that can be paired with a new camera peripheral.
