The Nintendo Switch 2 went on sale globally last Thursday, and in the first four days of its release, Nintendo sold more than 3.5 million units of its latest handheld console worldwide, making it the fastest-selling Nintendo game system ever.

You can buy the Nintendo Switch 2's standard package, which only includes the gaming console, or you can buy the package that comes bundled with a digital edition of the Mario Kart World, which launched alongside the Switch 2.

The standard package is priced at $449.99 in the US, while the bundle costs $50 more. You'll have to shell out extra money for accessories.
