This Switch 2 pick your game bundle is mainly attractive because it lets you choose a first party game for about $50 over console MSRP, which still lands below buying the pieces separately. The bundle gets even better when paired with discounted Nintendo eShop cards from Costco or other sources, with reported totals around $441 to $467 after tax and cash back. The main caveat is that better clearance or membership deals have existed at Sam's Club, Costco, and Woot, but those were limited, store dependent, or no longer available. A solid value if you can stack discounts or want a specific launch game.

  • Shoppers who can stack discounted eShop cards, because the bundle price can drop into the low $440s with Costco discounts and cash back.

  • Players who already want Mario Kart World or Pokopia, because the bundle lets them pick a game they would buy anyway.

  • Buyers trying to lock in a console before a price increase, because the bundle can feel worthwhile when avoiding a later higher price.

  • Families choosing a first-party game bundle, because the console still sells near MSRP and the included game effectively costs about $50.

  • Deal hunters comparing against past clearance pricing, because earlier Switch 2 bundles have been far cheaper at Sam's Club and Woot.

  • Value-focused buyers who want a steep discount on the hardware itself, because the bundle still sits close to MSRP and the savings are modest.

  • Families expecting a sub-$200 console for multiple kids, because buying several units at $500 each is a big ask.

  • Shoppers counting on Nintendo eShop gift cards to reduce checkout total, because the balance may not apply to the console bundle.

The fact that people are saying this is a "good deal" since prices are set to increase for a system that's a year old is insane.
It's still a few years newer and does things PS5 and Xbox don't, so it's but entirely crazy. Especially with Trump's war against capitalism making everything more expensive.

are they coming out with an OLED switch 2?
Switch 2027 models are due in Feb 2027. (Most likely the same with slightly increases battery)
Seeing how sales are doing, Switch OLED won't happen until 2028-2029 probably.

The Oled switch (which came out nearly 5 years ago) could and should have been released with the same specs as the switch 2.

Nintendo says the price will increase, while they cut the production significantly since the demand is low.
Well if Nintendo wants more money, or at least my money, they'll just have to make more and lower the price 🤗

I think you should be able to use Nintendo gift cards on the purchase. You can buy gift cards at Costco for 10% off so you can essentially get 10% off this price. Someone fact check me
Others seem to be reporting differently, but I just bought gift cards from Costco yesterday thinking I could use it to purchase a Switch 2 from Nintendo's e-shop.

The fine print in the cards say they are for software purchases only. When I tried to check out with the switch 2 bundle in my account, the gift card balance was NOT applied. I tried to buy a game instead, and that seemed to work fine. Maybe this was a recent update? Think I just screwed myself, stuck with non refundable gift cards trying to save 10%

Oh wow, that stinks! That must be a recent update. Someone else in this thread said they were able to apply the gift cards.

Okay, I had a small balance and confirmed you CAN use gift card balance for hardware

See attached.
