Nintendo Ends Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle as Retailers Sell Through Remaining Units

The limited-run pack-in that discounted the $79.99 racer has now entered a while‑supplies‑last sell‑through phase at retailers.

Overview

  • Nintendo said the Switch 2 with Mario Kart World is now available only in limited quantities and while supplies last, confirming the bundle’s wind‑down.
  • GameStop publicly stated the bundle will no longer be produced after a leaked internal memo called the SKU at end of lifecycle and noted future replenishment would be the base console.
  • Best Buy and Amazon were still listing units with a $50 discount to $449.99, though pricing and stock vary by retailer.
  • Nintendo had billed the bundle as a limited-time production through fall 2025, and its December cessation formalizes the end after extended availability.
  • With the bundle ending, new buyers will likely pay Mario Kart World’s reported $79.99 standalone price unless new offers emerge, as analysts speculate—without confirmation—about SKU simplification or cost pressures.
