Amazon Cuts Switch 2 Bundle to $449 Before Nintendo Raises Price

The temporary $50 checkout discount plus a choice of a bundled digital game gives buyers a brief chance to lock in lower total cost before Nintendo’s September 1 price increase.

Overview

  • Amazon is listing the official Switch 2 "Choose Your Game" bundle for $449 after a $50 checkout discount, the retailer’s listing showed Tuesday.
  • The bundle includes a choice of one digital-game code: Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia rather than a physical cartridge.
  • Nintendo has announced the Switch 2 base price will rise from $450 to $500 on September 1, 2026, a change already implemented in Japan.
  • Combining the $50 Amazon discount with the included game value produces savings that some outlets estimate can reach about $130 versus buying the console and game after the price hike.
  • Nintendo described the Choose Your Game bundle as limited time, so shoppers face a narrow window to buy at current prices and the move could reduce near-term console demand and prompt buyers to act now to save money.
