It's good that I haven't gotten too comfortable, because a champion for an $80 standard has already come forward. Earlier this week, in the wake of its Switch 2 showcase, Nintendo revealed that launch game Mario Kart World will cost $80 as a digital purchase.

Mario Kart 8 is probably my most-played Switch game, which means that Mario Kart World was easily my highlight of the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. But even as Nintendo pins its launch campaign around its karting phenomenon, the Switch 2's real system-seller is lurking in the background.

The digital version of the game costs £66.99, it's another £8 on top of that for a physical copy - or pay an an extra £35 for a version of the Switch 2 with it built-in, something which pushes the console price to £429.99.
