Nintendo Launches $500 Switch 2 Bundle With Choice of Game Ahead of Price Hike

The offer gives buyers more for their money ahead of a September increase to the standalone console’s price.

Overview

  • The bundle, which went on sale Tuesday, costs $499.99 and includes a download code for one game: Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia.
  • Participating retailers now listing it include the Nintendo Store, GameStop, Amazon, and Best Buy.
  • In the box are the Switch 2 console, left and right Joy-Con, dock, AC adapter, USB-C cable, grip, two straps, HDMI cable, and a single-use eShop code to redeem one of the three titles.
  • Nintendo has confirmed the standalone Switch 2 will rise from $449.99 to $499.99 in September, which turns today’s $20–$30 savings into the equivalent of a free $70–$80 game later.
  • Nintendo had teased a June launch for this limited bundle, but retailers made it available early and it is offered only while supplies last.
