Nintendo cut the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle to $499.99 for Black Friday, bringing the console back to its launch baseline after a September price hike.
Console and Bundle Savings
The Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle includes the system, a full download of Mario Kart World, and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online individual membership for $499.99, according to Nintendo. That price marks a $50 reduction from its post-September cost, matching the baseline figure set when the system debuted in June 2025.
“The bundle provides total savings of nearly $88 compared to purchasing the console, game, and subscription separately,” The Shortcut reported.
Retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart will carry the promotion from November 22 through December 5, alongside Nintendo’s physical stores in New York and San Francisco. For shoppers seeking standalone hardware early, Woot listed the Nintendo Switch 2 for $469 ahead of the official holiday window.
Physical Game Discounts
In-house titles rarely see direct price cuts, but select physical software will drop by $20 from November 22 to November 29 at major retailers and Nintendo stores.
Games slated for the $20 reduction include Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for Switch 2, alongside Super Mario Party Jamboree and Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 for the original system. These physical discounts bring titles like Donkey Kong Bananza down to $50 from its $70 MSRP.
Digital Store Schedule
Digital promotions begin earlier on the Nintendo eShop and Nintendo Store website, running from November 19 through December 2.
Hardware Packages Offer Savings
In addition to the Mario Kart package, alternative hardware packages include the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch Sports Resort bundle priced at $529.99, which yields a savings of $27.98 off the suggested retail price. Meanwhile, standalone systems saw a price jump in September driven by component pressures and tariffs.
Alternative hardware editions, such as the Zelda-themed special-edition release celebrating the series’ anniversary, list at a higher cost without bundled software or online subscriptions included. Early shoppers can also find accessory options like the Pikachu Storm slim case from PowerA.
