This new bundle is meant to give buyers a choice rather than locking them into a single pack-in game. It also arrives ahead of Nintendo’s U.S. Switch 2 price increase on September 1, so the timing makes it the best-value way to buy the system this summer.

Bullet points

• The bundle is called the Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle.
• It launches at participating retailers in early June 2026.
• The price is $499.99.
• Buyers get the Switch 2 console plus one download code for a game of their choice.
• The three game options are Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Pokémon Pokopia.
• Nintendo says the offer is available for a limited time while supplies last.
• The bundle is positioned as a way to beat the upcoming price rise on Switch 2 hardware in the U.S., which is scheduled for September 1.
• The savings are modest, but real: the included game would normally cost more if bought separately.

Why it matters

• It gives new buyers a more flexible entry point into Switch 2 without forcing them into a single pack-in.
• If you were already planning to buy a launch-window Switch 2, this is the smartest time to do it before the price change.
• It also reinforces Nintendo’s strategy of using bundles to keep the console attractive as the market shifts later in the year.
