Overview
- Nintendo confirmed on Tuesday that it will sell two new Switch 2 bundles: a Mario Kart World bundle in late September for $549.99 and a Nintendo Switch Sports Resort bundle on Oct. 22 for $529.99.
- Each package includes a Switch 2 console, a digital download code for the featured game, and a 3-month (90-day) Nintendo Switch Online Individual membership.
- The bundles arrive after the console’s MSRP rises to $499.99 on Sept. 1, so their prices reflect the higher post‑hike cost rather than today’s lower launch price.
- Coverage and analysts note the bundles offer modest savings only once the new MSRP is in effect, and they recommend buying a standalone Switch 2 before Sept. 1 for the largest immediate saving.
- Nintendo is rolling out localized pricing for markets including Canada and Europe, and the move follows broader industry component pressures such as memory shortages that have pushed multiple hardware makers to raise prices.
