It’s still cheaper to buy the console, Mario Kart World and three months of Switch Online access now.
Just before the company increased the price of the Switch 2, Nintendo announced a new Nintendo Switch Sports Station bundle for the console, as well as a revamped version of a previous one Mario Kart World pack. Each will include a 90-day individual Nintendo Switch Online subscription, including the launch version of Mario Kart World The package does not come with it. The games are digital versions, for what that’s worth.
The Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World the package will cost $550, which is $50 more than the original package. This increase is in line with the console’s new price, which will be $500 starting September 1 (a $50 increase). The inclusion of three months of access to Switch Online, which usually costs $8, makes up for this slightly.
Nintendo says the bundle – which will be available in late September – will cost $38 less than purchasing the console, game and Switch Online access separately at that time. However, if you buy all three now (the console costs $450 and the game costs $80), it will cost $12 less than this refreshed bundle. Or you can opt for a full year of Switch Online and get nine additional months of access for the same price as the bundle.
As for the new Nintendo Switch Sports Station bundle, which will arrive on October 22, the same day the game releases. It will cost $530, which equates to a $28 discount, according to Nintendo. This means Nintendo Switch Sports Station will cost $50.
Back in May, Nintendo announced a Switch 2 bundle that included player choice. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza Or Pokémon Pokopia. The company said this product will be available for a limited time, so it’s likely it will be phased out with the price increase about to take hold.
