This week on Nintendo Pow Block:

Edward Varnell⁠ and ⁠Corey Dirrig⁠ discuss Nintendo’s recent quarterly financials as Mario Kart World each sell over 5.5 million units worldwide, helping push total Switch 2 sales past 6 million in just seven weeks.

They also cover Nintendo’s decision to raise prices for the Switch 1 family of consoles and accessories, with new pricing already in effect at retailers like Target.

There's also an updated top ten best-seller numbers for Switch 1—including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe nearing 69 million—bringing on the discussion of what it means as the console edges closer to becoming Nintendo’s best-selling system of all time. They dive into Nintendo’s reconfirmed release dates for upcoming Switch 2 and Switch 1 titles, highlight standout announcements from the July Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, and explore reactions to Square Enix’s decision not to offer a Switch 1-to-Switch 2 upgrade path for Octopath Traveler 0.

Plus, they give their thoughts on Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection getting a full physical release, the growing criticism of Game-Key Cards, and new hype around Kirby Air Riders.
