According to a preliminary performance analysis, Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 racing game Mario Kart: World may include a 120fps mode.

According to a preliminary performance analysis of Mario Kart: World by Digital Foundry, the upcoming kart racing game will obviously have a 120fps mode, but they do not have any screen records for this mode yet.

Digital Foundry mentioned that Mario Kart: World's single-player mode and double-player split-screen mode seem to run at 60fps frame rates, but the game includes a single-player 120fps mode.Additionally, the three-to-four split-screen mode is said to require lower frame rates.At present, there is no four-person split-screen screen mode for analysis.

In terms of image quality, according to Digital Foundry's analysis of existing promotional materials, Mario Kart: World runs at native 1440p resolution in dock mode without temporal anti-aliasing (TAA) or temporal hypersampling technology.The visuals of the game rely heavily on baked lighting, which minimizes jagging during the game.

In terms of performance, Mario Kart: World's 60fps mode is perfectly maintained at the target frame rate, according to Digital Foundry.However, the game's photo mode runs at a frame rate of 30fps.

In a recent interview, Nintendo President Doug Bowser was asked about the price difference in Nintendo Switch 2 games.He calls it "variable pricing."According to him, the console maker will look at each game, including how the game is developed, how the game plays, how long the game is, and how repeatable the game experience is, and many other factors to determine the right price point for the Switch 2 game.Bowser said Nintendo has not set a benchmark for Switch 2 games yet.He defended the $80/€80 price tag of Mario Kart: World, emphasizing that the game is the sequel to the best-selling Nintendo independent game of all time, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which has sold more than 67 million copies.
