Did you know that the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World set comes with a physical copy of the game in some regions?

At the moment, the regions where the game comes with a physical copy are:

• Saudi Arabia (release: June 5, 2025)
• Taiwan (release: Q3 2025)
• Singapore (release: Q3 2025)
• Malaysia (release: Q3 2025)
• Thailand (release: Q3 2025)
• Philippines (release: Q3 2025)

The reason why these regions come with a physical copy of the game, instead of a full game download or digital code, is because at present, they do not have support for Nintendo Switch Online or Nintendo eShop. In all other regions, the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World set comes with a full game download or digital code as those markets have access to the Nintendo eShop.

It’s also important to note that Taiwan will get its own Nintendo eShop in 2025, and the four Southeast Asian countries will get their own regional Nintendo eShop sometime in the future.
