News - New Mario Kart World Switch 2 Bundle Coming In September, And It’s $50 More
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ahead of the Switch 2's price hike in September, Nintendo has announced two new Switch 2 bundles for the US.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle ($550) launches in late September, while the Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports bundle ($530) arrives alongside the game on October 22. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">People may recall that Nintendo offered a Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle when the console launched in June 2025. It was priced at $500 back then, but was subsequently discontinued. Comparisons to the new bundle are not entirely 1:1, however, as the original 2025 bundle did not include a Switch Online membership.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Due to various economic pressures, Nintendo is <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-nintendo-switch-2-is-officially-getting-a-price-hike-in-september/1100-6539854/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-nintendo-switch-2-is-officially-getting-a-price-hike-in-september/1100-6539854/">raising the price of the Switch 2 by $50 on September 1</a>, bringing it up to $500. That new price is factored in to the new bundle price, which is why it's $550.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle comes with a Switch 2, a code for the digital version of Mario Kart World, and a 3-month Nintendo Switch Online individual membership. Nintendo says the $550 price point represents a savings of $38 compared to buying each item individually, but that's not the whole story.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Currently, the Switch 2 costs $450 and Mario Kart World is $80, so that works out to $530 together. You can get <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Online-3-Month-Individual-Membership/dp/B07FV61ZC9?th=1" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Online-3-Month-Individual-Membership/dp/B07FV61ZC9?th=1">three months of Switch Online for $8 on Amazon</a>, for a grand total of $538, so you can save money (about $12 before tax) by purchasing everything now as opposed to waiting for this new bundle to release.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Nintendo Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort bundle, meanwhile, includes a Switch 2 system, a code for a digital copy of Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and a 3-month Nintendo Switch Online individual membership. Purchasing these items separately would cost you $28 more, Nintendo said.</p>
