Nintendo has officially confirmed the upcoming release of Mario Kart World for the Nintendo Switch 2, unveiling a distinctive physical edition set for exclusive distribution in Southeast Asia.
Scheduled to launch on June 26, 2025, this highly anticipated title continues Nintendo's storied legacy of delivering innovative racing experiences and is poised to become a standout entry in the Mario Kart series.
One feature setting the Southeast Asian release apart is its collector-focused presentation.
Nintendo has ensured that the official English version of Mario Kart World for Nintendo Switch 2 will ship with a 'clean' cover design—free of age rating labels commonly seen elsewhere.
This decision enhances the appeal for collectors and dedicated fans, as it preserves the box art's aesthetics, making it a highly desirable item in any Nintendo Switch game library.
Exclusively distributed for Southeast Asia, the physical edition is an authentic Nintendo product packed as a Game Card.
Importantly, users do not need to download any additional data to play, ensuring that fans can enjoy Mario Kart World immediately after unboxing.
Each unit will include the ratingless English cover and will be shipped directly from Singapore.
Shipping logistics have also been tailored to international demand.
According to the official store policy, buyers will be charged at checkout, and orders will be dispatched on or after the release date.
Nintendo is offering free international airmail shipping with tracking to key regions, including North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East, with estimated delivery ranging from 5 to 14 working days.
Central and South American customers can expect shipping times between 2 to 4 weeks.
Nintendo Switch 2 represents the next leap in Nintendo's hardware innovation, and the launch of Mario Kart World alongside it underscores the importance of physical editions in the modern gaming era.
For collectors, the unique presentation of the Southeast Asian edition adds significant value, while for everyday players, the convenience of an official English game card ensures seamless play.
With Mario Kart World, Nintendo continues its tradition of celebrating both its devoted community and the enduring popularity of its legendary franchises.
For fans looking to add a distinctive and official Nintendo Switch 2 physical edition to their collection, June 26, 2025, marks a date to remember.
