Although the Nintendo Switch 2 release date has just passed, Costco is offering sales on several new titles. Mario Kart World and the upgraded Tears of the Kingdom are both seeing early discounts. Costco also has the lowest price on Nintendo's pro-grade Switch 2 controller.

One of the concerns for Nintendo fans was the high cost of Switch 2 games. In particular, Mario Kart World demands $80 in some regions, which breaks conventional industry pricing. A day after the Switch 2 release date, Costco has the kart racer plus The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom discounted. Digital releases of Mario Kart World and the Switch 2 Edition of Tears of the Kingdom are $69.99. As usual, gamers will need a Costco membership to participate in the sale.

Mario Kart World is finally available, and players can experience one of the most anticipated Switch 2 launch titles. With its normally premium price, the game needs to offer enough content to justify the investment. Fortunately, there is a roster of 50 racers with customizable costumes and vehicles. The most significant change is the open-world elements that connect the 30 tracks. Some racers find the freedom feels barren, but overall, Mario Kart World is earning high marks from players.

Nintendo advertised The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as the banner example of the Switch 2 Edition format. These configurations include the original Switch version as well as an upgrade pack. In this instance, players will benefit from higher resolutions, enhanced framerates, and faster loading times. Another bonus is compatibility with the Zelda Notes app. While exploring Hyrule, the companion will provide directions and commentary on important destinations.

Supporters of physical media may not be happy with Costco's sales on digital Switch 2 games. Still, the retailer also has a discount on the cartridge version of Donkey Kong Bananza. Until the game releases on July 17, gamers can also save money on Switch 2 accessories like the latest Pro controller.
