lol the way this has slowly rolled out across retailers shows that there was some sort of last minute memo from nintendo allowing people to reduce prices for Cyber Monday. Sales probably not as strong as they had hoped.

It was super easy.
You order the gift cards like you would any other item you buying online. You wait up to 24 hours for them to email you. You copy/paste the codes they send you into a box on Nintendo's site. You add the switch to cart like you would any other online product and when it asks if you want I apply the gift cards to your total you click OK. Easy.

Total time spent in this should not have taken more than 5 mins total.

Community Reviews

The Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle stands out as a strong launch package, especially when paired with Best Buy price matching or PayPal 20 percent cashback, which can bring the effective cost down by about $50 to $90. The console itself gets praise for solid build quality, excellent rumble, and social features like Game Chat, while the bundle is framed as a better value than buying the system and game separately. The main drawback is the price, especially once extra storage and $60 to $80 games are factored in. A solid bundle if you can catch one of the stacking discounts.

Not only that, but I think these prices were largely tariff related and those have since been renegotiated/revised downwards
It's original MSRP was $449

I know for a fact when they were claiming their sales were so phenomenal that they were lying or basing it on initial month or week of sales trend type stat. Idk if reduced price indicates bad sales but I also noticed how often I see these in stores.

The switch may have been unique for it's time but the price hike to $80 per game and literally nothing new about this system probably it's making this click on a lot of people's head.

I have a little cousin who mentioned his dad told him he already has a switch so he doesn't need a second one. Nintendo is just banking on the fan base to donate their money to them to keep them afloat

For those who used PayPal's "Pay in 4", did you get any email that indicates that we've successfully claimed the 20% cash back offer from PayPal after purchase?

I clicked on 'Save offer' for "20% cash back on one Pay Later purchase with PayPal" in my PayPal account. When I checked out on BestBuy site, PayPal's pay schedule is ($449+tax) / 4. I'm not sure where I can check and see that this Switch 2 purchase from BestBuy was eligible for that "Pay Later" (a.k.a. "Pay in 4") promo.
I see an authorization from the business along with "points pending" in my paypal account. Mine was through target.

Looks like Best Buy put the price back up after Cyber Monday ended, it's back up to $499, even in cart for me. Target and Walmart still have the discount in place with stock available. I wonder if this was a Nintendo sanctioned Cyber Monday discount or the retailer's choice. Probably the first time I've ever seen a console get a discount on the launch holiday.

Only Nintendo themselves know what the original MSRP that they wanted was. They choose to do the $449/$499 launch prices because they knew their fans will still buy it, and they're right about that.
MKW is a download, and it's their game, the cost to Nintendo is basically maintaining their servers, which they already have to do anyway. There's no reason Nintendo couldn't have launched with just the bundle at $449, no base console which most people didn't buy anyway, if the tariff was that bad for them. Nintendo could have avoided most of the negative commentary if they just left games at $70 max, and did the bundle at $449. To most people, $100 over the previous console wouldn't have been that bad if they felt they were getting something with an included $70 game.

It's just one of those things that happen when you get someone in charge of Nintendo of Japan who care more about the financials than what people think. Did people forget where the current head of Nintendo came from?

You're getting the system for $370 with an $80 game. What is the Switch 2 so dang expensive, in comparison to?

I used the paypal 20% off pay in 4 promo to purchase this a week or so ago. Does anyone know if I get a price adjustment through best buy, will the pay in 4 still go through. It brought the total down to $400 previously using the Pay in 4.
How long did it take for your PP points to show up as pending? Mine have not for a couple days now.

Managed to snag one for store pickup (Target) and used the PP 20% as well. My PP account shows the pending purchase and also shows the pending 20% points. Hope it all works lol.

Update: Points hit my account about 2 days ago and they've been deposited into my bank. By far this was the best deal on this bundle I've seen all season.

Apparently not enough. Wink Nintendo should be credited for staying competitive. I will take an occasional sale over jacking up the price and forgetting about it like Microsoft did with their consoles.
Not enough? It's only broken records for the fastest selling console. Getting 100% on a test isn't good enough, you need 105% haha
