Mario Kart World is launching on June 5 alongside the Nintendo Switch 2, and it’s looking like another great installment in the beloved franchise. And if you’re going to be picking it up later this year, consider snagging the official Joy-Con 2 Wheel from Nintendo. A two-pack will cost just $20, making it a solid choice for local multiplayer matches.
$20
Designed specifically for the updated Joy-Con 2, this accessory is a nice companion for all sorts of racing games on Switch 2. It includes a light blue and light red wheel, giving you and a friend a more immersive way to race. And since it uses a magnetic connection to lock the Joy-Con into place, you won’t have to worry about it shaking loose during the heat of battle.
We’re expecting preorders to open on April 9–the same date they open for Switch 2.
Mario Kart World is going to be quite expensive at $80–so it’s nice that this optional pack of Joy-Con 2 Wheels is quite affordable. A cheaper way to get the game is by bundling it with the Switch 2 console, as the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle costs $500. The standalone console is priced at $450, so you’re essentially saving $30 when bundled together.
Nintendo revealed heaps of other accessories for Switch 2, including an updated Switch 2 Pro Controller with new back buttons, Joy-Con that can function as a mouse, and a Charging Grip to help keep your Joy-Con juiced up for your next play session. There’s also a Nintendo Switch 2 Camera built for GameChat, so you can easily connect with friends without needing the companion mobile app.
For a look at all the official Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, check out the Nintendo Store page. Preorders for all of these items are expected to open on April 9.
