the Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart World Bouquet Available at Best Buy yet They run out of stock very quickly on Amazon. The deal includes the new console with a new Mario Kart game for the same price as the standalone console. You can get this for $449 (Under $499) – Lowest price yet, according to Price tracking tools. (Note that you can’t see the price until after you’ve signed in and it’s in your cart, as Nintendo prohibits retailers from promoting anything less than the “minimum advertised price” of $499.) To top it off, Best Buy is somehow promising to deliver it to your home by 9pm tonight, December 24, which is a true Christmas miracle. Not all locations will be available, so be sure to see the “Get shipping by 9pm today” note above “Add to Cart”. You can also pick it up within an hour if time is of the essence.
This bundle deal is great, and probably the best deal you’ll see for a while, judging by previous Nintendo deals. To put it in perspective, the OLED version of the original Nintendo Switch is $400 right now, which means you can get the new Switch 2 with Mario Kart for an extra $50. The new console is also an upgrade in every way, according to associate technology editor Michelle Erhardt Nintendo Switch 2 review. The ergonomics and design have improved, making it much better to hold and look at. Battery life has also improved, with now around 180 minutes of portable playback time before running out of power.
The big plus is that the Switch 2 is backwards compatible, which means you can play old Switch games on it. Some Switch games have the ability to upgrade to Switch 2 Edition by purchasing that game’s upgrade pack. This is especially worthwhile for games like The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom Tears, Which will look better on Switch 2.
What do you think so far?
There aren’t a lot of Switch 2 games out there at the moment, but there are some classic Nintendo games that will keep you busy while the library expands, like Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Ridersand Hyrule Warriors: Age of Prison.
