You receive a code with the box that lets you pick one game. I had to look it up since it isn't easy information to find.

Reminder that you can now buy hardware, including this bundle, directly from Nintendo using eshop funds and Costco perpetually sells eshop cards at 10% off.

This Switch 2 bundle is mainly a way to get the console plus a redeemable choice of one game, with the code scratched off in the box and redeemed in the Switch 2 store. The strongest appeal is convenience for buyers who already want the hardware, especially for Mario Kart World, Pokemon Pokopia, or other Switch 2 play. It also works with existing Switch games, and the console can be bought through Nintendo using eShop funds. The main knock is value, since the bundle is often described as only about $20 cheaper than buying separately, with some concern about the higher $500 price and limited launch library.

Common Questions (5)

  • It works out to about $20 in savings versus buying the console and game separately, so it is closer to a fair-price bundle than a deep discount. Some shoppers can lower the effective price further with discounted eShop cards or cashback offers.

  • The box includes a scratch-off code that you enter in the Switch 2 store to pick one of three games. The code can be redeemed on the console, and the selected game is then tied to your account or hardware depending on the bundle variant.

  • Yes, the bundle can be purchased directly from Nintendo using eShop funds, and the U.S. purchase limit mentioned is $800. That makes discounted eShop cards a practical way to shave a bit off the total if you already buy digital credit.

  • Yes, it plays compatible physical and digital Nintendo Switch games. Most Switch 1 titles work, with exceptions mainly for games that require physical peripherals like Labo or Ring Fit.

    GreenMeat8439Harmonica

  • Yes, physical copies exist for some Switch 2 games, including Cyberpunk and first-party Nintendo titles. Many other releases are key cards instead of full cartridges, so the game may not be fully on the cart.

For those complaining about $400-500, go find the MSRP when the NES and SNES were released and adjust for inflation.

Given Switch 1s extensive library, the wait crowd can get a lot more bang for their buck, even at a higher price, by waiting a few more years until Nintendo caves and releases a true upgrade to switch 1 with a better battery and OLED.
Again that will be north of $700. And you'll loose a couple of years of use out of it. Will it be better? Undoubtedly. Better bang for your buck? I guess we'll see but I really don't think so. It's going to be a lot more expensive with minor improvements.

Everyone complaining about the screen have you actually looked at one and compared it with the Switch 1 and Switch OLED? It's a much better screen than the Switch 1 and pretty comparable to the OLED. The difference is not as much as you think. And I absolutely love OLED display tech. Plus the screen is a lot bigger.

The decrease in battery life is unfortunate. But it's still pretty comparable to other PC handhelds in a much smaller form factor. The screen is also 33% larger so it's going to use more battery life compared to the Switch 1. So that's something that could definitely be improved with a new iteration. But again will it be worth $200 more?

I mean. This isn't much of a financial deal. Wasn't the MK bundle already $500? I guess having the choice to pick one of two different titles is the draw???

I agree. Compared to buying the console and game separately, it's about a $20 savings. I don't consider that a deal. It's a fair price.

Great deal considering the impending price hikes. They will be $499 soon without the bonus game.

I think, with CaptialOne Offers, spend $30 at Best Buy and get $15 back so this could potentially be $484 for the bundle after cash back.

Might not be a great deal now, but come September, people will wish they had this as an option.

I don't think waiting is the right play with the Switch 2. If you're at all interested in playing any. Nintendo games for the next 8 years I'd get one now. For one, console prices will only go up from here. It's a different game now. Console prices don't go down throughout their life anymore. It won't be any cheaper than it is now especially with this bundle and getting 10% off. Two, even if and when they refresh the system and come out with the pro/OLED it will be ridiculously priced. Likely $700. Which is insane to think about for a Nintendo console. And the part I never hear the wait crowd talking about. You lose time waiting it out. Consoles have a finite time for when they're useful before they become outdated. If you save $50 waiting for the price to drop you've lost more than that in value using the console while waiting for the price to drop. And again. The price is only going to go up from here.
Buy once - cry once. Having already encountered overheating issues on the present model, I am not going to take the risk of buying now because that may lead to me having to pay or repairs or buy a replacement. I would much rather wait to see if they can fix the problems with the present design, even if a different model costs more because it would be more reliable and likely cost less in the long run. And if they don't fix the issues, then I will just wait for the next generation and save myself hundreds.

Starting May 24th, Target will have the same deal. If you have a Red card, that's an extra 5% off

This is the retail price, not a deal by any means. For all intents and purposes this is just an ad.

I'm glad my child was content purchasing a used old version of these. He got a bunch of games, case and accessories for $80 bucks. It's in great condition too. The kid he got it from got a 2. I think my kid got the better deal.
This is along the lines of what I'm thinking, but at a larger scale. Will many parents want to buy their child a $500 portable console? I bought my daughter a Switch 1 years ago for under $200 and that was fine. But there is no way I am getting her a Switch 2.
