Nintendo plans to stream its Mario Kart World Direct on April 17, 2025, at 6 a.m. PT. The company first mentioned this presentation during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct earlier this month. According to YouTube placeholders, viewers can expect a brief 15-minute show with an in-depth look at the new racing game. Nintendo promises to reveal more details about the upcoming kart racer during this presentation.
Many fans have discussed Mario Kart World since its initial reveal, particularly its $80 price tag for Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser defended the higher cost, claiming the game offers tremendous value through its size and hidden features. He encouraged doubtful players to watch the upcoming direct. Bowser described it as potentially the most content-rich Mario Kart experience ever created.
Gaming writer Nathan Birch recently tried Mario Kart World at a Nintendo event. He enjoyed his time with the game but wasn't completely amazed during his brief 20-minute demo. The upcoming 15-minute direct might showcase additional features not seen in early previews. Birch compared it to a polished version of Mario Kart 8, feeling both familiar and new simultaneously.
He praised the interconnected map design as an interesting creation with untapped possibilities. Nintendo might support and expand this racing world throughout the console generation. The company appears to be establishing a racing platform that they could develop for years to come.
