Nintendo’s Switch 2 bundle that includes a game is $50 off

Normally, $449.99 gets you just the Switch 2 console. But today it also gets you a free game.

Discounts on the Nintendo Switch 2 are rare, but they do happen on occasion. There’s one happening now, actually, on the company’s $499.99 console bundle that includes a digital game ( Mario Kart World , Donkey Kong Bananza , or Pok é mon Pokopia ). Usually, the bundle saves you $20 or $30, depending on the game you choose, but for $449.99 at Amazon (discount reflected at checkout), Nintendo is effectively giving you a game for free.

Nintendo Switch 2 “Choose Your Game” bundle

If you’re considering grabbing a Switch 2, I highly recommend doing so now. The biggest motivator (aside from its great selection of new games and near-complete compatibility with original Switch games) is that the console will get a price hike in September , going from $449.99 to $499.99. Also, it’s not clear if it will continue to include a discounted game with purchase at that point. So, you’re getting more value at $449.99 here than ever before.
