Overview
- Nintendo announced Tuesday a limited Switch 2 “Choose Your Game” bundle that goes on sale in early June at participating retailers.
- The $499.99 package includes the console and a single-use code on the Nintendo eShop to download one game from Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia.
- The bundle is available for a limited time while supplies last and matches the U.S. console’s new $499.99 price that takes effect on September 1.
- Prices are rising across regions, with Japan moving from ¥49,980 to ¥59,980 starting May 25 and Europe and Canada set at €499.99 and C$679.99.
- Nintendo says broad cost pressures, including pricier memory chips tied to AI data centers plus currency, oil, and tariff effects, drove the increase, and it now forecasts fewer Switch 2 sales in year two.
