Overview
- Amazon applied a roughly $50 discount at checkout on the Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle on Tuesday, bringing the bundle price to $449 and letting buyers select one digital-game code from Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia.
- Nintendo has announced the standalone Switch 2 will increase from about $450 to $500 on September 1, 2026, and Japan is already seeing the higher price, so this offer gives a pre-hike window for lower-cost purchases.
- Reporters calculate the $50 Amazon markdown plus the included $70–$80 digital game produces effective savings of as much as about $130 versus buying the console and game at current and upcoming MSRPs.
- The discount only appears at checkout and the game is delivered as a digital download code rather than a physical cartridge, and Nintendo previously described the Choose Your Game bundle as a limited-time offer.
- Buyers should act quickly because the deal is temporary, retailers may change bundle pricing once Nintendo’s September increase takes effect, and availability or timing could vary by market.
