Nintendo has announced a new “Choose Your Game” Switch 2 console bundle, which will launch early in June, priced at $499.99.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The bundle will let you pick one of three Switch 2 blockbusters to be included with the console \u2014 Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza and Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia \u2014 and therefore includes a saving of around $20 to $30.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, Switch 2 currently costs $449.99, while $499.99 is Nintendo’s new price it will sell Switch 2 for beginning on September 1<\/a>. Essentially, then, this is your way to beat the Switch 2’s price rise<\/a> and get a discounted game at the same time. <\/p>\n

To be fair to Nintendo, the games on offer here are arguably the Switch 2’s best titles through its first year of launch. Opinion on the new Mario Kart’s open world might be a little mixed, but its racing is still top-notch party fun. Donkey Kong Bananza is Nintendo’s best 3D platformer in almost a decade (which also goes to show how long it has been since Super Mario Odyssey). And Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia has been a smash hit, blending the franchise’s creatures with elements of Minecraft and Animal Crossing.<\/p>\n

The bundle is also the same price as the Switch 2’s launch package with Mario Kart World included, effectively reviving that offer a year on.<\/p>\n

How long will this deal last? Nintendo has not said, though it seems likely to end before that September 1 price rise. If you’re still waiting on buying Switch 2 \u2014 especially with Ocarina of Time remake reportedly due to launch later this year<\/a> \u2014 there may never be a better time.<\/p>\n
