Reading is fundamental.

No, the listing comes up as the bundle.

However, the OP also included a link to just the console if one doesn't want the bundle. As I said, reading is fundamental.

Quote from MrGone :
TO ALL THOSE WONDERING IF YOU SHOULD BUY ONE, UNLESS YOU NEED TO PLAY MARIO KART WORLD RIGHT NOW, DONT.I have one, it literally collects dust. Theres nothing overly special are different about this system compared to last gens. A little better gameplay on SOME games, a little better graphics on SOME games. its meh. Mario Kart World is okay, but it just feels like a more chaotic Mario Kart 8, feels super familiar. here arent any other real NS2 games out right now, and if youre content with the NS original or OLED, stick with it until you have to buy a new one. Sure gamecube games are fun, but theres practically no online mode [unless you have OTHER friends with NS2]I will say the NS2 does feel nicer, size/screen wise, but worth a upgrade right now, it is not.obviously the choice is yours, but theres no urgent reason to buy 1 today, or for the next few months based on the current line up.
Even some indie games are sluggish on NS1. I recently bought Ultros and had to wait NS2 to play it. Unstable 30 fps on NS1 just not fun especially if you have experience with PS5 versions of some games. I hope more developers will update their games to utilize resources that NS2 provides.
Bluetooth audio also seemingly improved considerably. Had a lot of issues on NSW1 and now it just works!

Switch emulators and all the mods make it hard to justify. TOTK is just beautiful on a modern pc. I own three NS1's so I think I've forked over enough cash to Nintendo : )

Thank you! It really annoying reading someone else's here justifying their purchase because it is a NEW Nintendo product. So stupid!

To all Parents:
Nintendo has gone anti-consumer which I will explain..
Example: If your child takes the Switch 2 to a friend's house and someone puts the MIG cartridge into it or they do one of many other things that Nintendo prohibits.. the Switch 2 will be bricked by Nintendo. - Your money will poof and your child will be upset with you.
You can't reset the device, you can't fix it. Your account will also be blacklisted by Nintendo.

Consider yourselves warned.

Supply vs demand. It's a deal considering that people are still willing to pay over MSRP to get their hands on one.

Nintendo is bricking these if you play certain second hand switch 1 carts in them. Absolutely insane.
