Overview
- An internal GameStop memo shared by Nintendeal states the bundle has reached its "end of lifecycle" and that no additional units will be produced.
- GameStop later echoed the message on social media, saying the Mario Kart World Switch 2 bundle will no longer be produced and urging purchases while supplies last.
- Future restocks sent to retailers are expected to be the base Switch 2 console, with existing bundle inventory continuing to be sold.
- The bundle launched at $499.99, roughly $50 above the $449.99 console, and recent retailer promotions brought effective pricing to $449.99 in some listings.
- Nintendo previously billed the bundle as a limited-time production through Fall 2025, and coverage of the discontinuation stems from the GameStop memo first posted by Nintendeal and cited by gaming outlets.
