Nintendo is offering a Switch 2 bundle starting November 22 through December 5. The package includes the console, a digital copy of Mario Kart World, and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online membership for $499.99. This price matches the console's original cost before a recent increase.
The promotion is part of Nintendo's broader Black Friday campaign aimed at increasing sales during the holiday shopping period. The bundle becomes available at the end of November alongside other offers.
The Switch 2 bundle represents the main focus of Nintendo's Black Friday strategy this year. The included Mario Kart World title and Switch Online membership add value to the hardware purchase during the promotional window.
