On 5 November Nintendo reported its April to September results and named Mario Kart World among the games that kept selling well. If that's nudged you towards a digital copy, the offers you'll find for it come in two very different formats, and the cheap ones aren't what they look like.
What Nintendo reported
Switch 2 sold 6.49 million units in those six months, down 37.4% from 10.36 million in the same period a year earlier. The console stood at 26.35 million on 30 September, and Nintendo kept its forecast of 16.5 million Switch 2 units for the financial year that ends in March. Switch 2 software added up to 24.49 million units in the half. Nintendo gave no separate figure for Mario Kart World.
eShop codes in stock this morning
We counted 23 eShop code offers in stock across 13 stores, including Nintendo's own Italian and UK stores. The lowest was at Eneba: €49.09 with coupon Gocdkeys10 (€53.87 with fees). Nintendo's store asks €79.99 (no fees), so the code saves you 33% even once fees are added.
You redeem the code on your own Nintendo account and the game stays there.
Why some "Accounts" cost €16.68
Six offers are listed as "Account", starting at €16.68 (no fees) at GamesPSN. What you're paying for is access to another person's Nintendo account that already owns the game: you sign in with it on your console and play from there, but the game is never in your name. That's why they're so much cheaper. We recommend the eShop code.
Europe, US or "global"?
Stores label the region in the offer name. Six of today's code offers say Europe or EU, another six say United States or US, and two are sold as "global", Eneba's cheapest among them. Four don't state a region in their name, and the rest come from Nintendo's own stores.
We can't tell from here which of those your account will accept. Before paying, open the offer and check the region the store gives against your Nintendo account's region.
If €53.87 is still too much
Set a price alert and we'll email you when the code drops. Every store is on the page to buy Mario Kart World key.
