Nintendo announces brand new choose-your-own Switch 2 bundle a week after unveiling price increase plans
September is looming
Nintendo only just announced its own Switch 2 price increases, but it's taking to the airwaves with some more positive news today. The brand is releasing a new choose-your-own bundle with game options including Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Pokemon Pokopia - all coming in at $499.99 with the console itself.
We're essentially getting two more options in the mix - the Mario Kart package was available from day one but has been particularly difficult to find in stock as of late. It was only a matter of time before Nintendo capitalized on the massive system seller that was Pokopia, and with these Nintendo Switch bundles holding the same price as previous offers things are looking sweet.
These bundles will be available in early June according to Nintendo, knocking around $30 off the price of the game included (this is a download-only deal).
There's already a $499 Nintendo Switch 2 bundle deal floating around on the shelves this week, and Super Mario Galaxy fans are in for a treat. It's been a long time since I've seen that $500 price point on a console-game package, so this is a must-see.
There's just one question on everyone's lips, though. What's going to happen in September. A June timeframe means these Switch 2 offers will have a maximum of three months to enjoy their discounts before Ninty ups the rate of a Switch 2 by itself (currently $449.99) to $499.99. After that, it's going to be pretty difficult to keep these packages (and their then-completely-free games) on the shelves.
Whether they simply fade into the sunset or see their own price increase up to $549 remains to be seen. Until that fateful day arrives, then, this is going to be the bundle to beat.
