Amazon has cut Nintendo’s Switch 2 choose-your-game bundle to $449.99, putting the package at the same price Nintendo currently charges for the standalone console.
The bundle normally costs $499.99 and includes the Switch 2 plus one digital game. Buyers can choose from Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia, according to the Amazon listing.
That makes the discount more meaningful than the usual bundle math. Nintendo’s standard bundle pricing generally saves $20 or $30 compared with buying the console and selected game separately, depending on the game. At Amazon’s current price, the game is included without raising the cost above the base console’s current $449.99 price.
The price gap is about to get less friendly
The timing matters for anyone already planning to buy the hardware. The Verge reported that Nintendo is raising the Switch 2 console price in September, moving the base system from $449.99 to $499.99.
The available information does not say whether Nintendo will keep offering a discounted game bundle after that increase, or what the bundle price would be if it does. For now, Amazon’s $449.99 listing is below the current $499.99 bundle price and matches today’s standalone-console price.
Discounts on new Nintendo hardware tend to be limited, and the Switch 2 has not been an exception. This deal is narrower than a broad price cut: it is an Amazon listing for a specific bundle format, with a digital game selection attached.
