Switch 2 ‘Choose Your Game’ Bundle Gets A Discount Ahead Of System Price Revision (US)
Nintendo is increasing the price of the Switch 2 console in North America starting in September, with a standalone system rising to $499.99. Ahead of this price revision, Amazon is currently offering a significant discount on Nintendo’s “Choose Your Game” bundle, bringing the price down to $449.99 at checkout.
The bundle includes a digital copy of one of three games: Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia. Typically, these bundles offer savings of $20–$30 compared to purchasing the games separately, but the current $50 discount effectively gives buyers a free game with the console purchase—a rare occurrence for Switch 2 deals.
Normally, $449.99 would only purchase a standalone Switch 2 console. With this promotion, that same price now includes both the hardware and a full digital game title. The timing of this discount appears strategic, coming just weeks before Nintendo’s price increase takes effect, potentially to clear existing inventory before the September revision.
Discounts on the Nintendo Switch 2 are uncommon, making this promotion noteworthy for consumers considering a purchase. The deal highlights the value of bundled offerings while also indicating Nintendo’s ongoing efforts to manage pricing and inventory ahead of the upcoming price adjustment.
