Set to arrive on June 5, the next-generation console promises to deliver a better gaming experience with more upgraded features and exclusives than its predecessor.
There is a massive fanbase eagerly waiting for the units to hit the shelves, and with just 2 months remaining, potential buyers are wondering what they are going to get out of the box as they bring home the latest console.
Nintendo Switch 2 bundles and their prices
It’s time to mark your calendars, as on June 5th, Nintendo Switch 2 will hit the shelves with 2 available bundles. The standard edition of the console will go on retail for $449.99, while an exclusive bundle featuring the all-new Mario Kart World will be available for $499.99, as noted by The Verge.
The new console will be made available for preorders in North America from April 9th, and the console is likely to come bundled with upgraded Joy-Con 2 controllers, a Switch 2 dock, and the essentials such as an HDMI and USB-C cable, along with an AC adapter.
For those who can’t resist high-speed racing action, the Mario Kart World Bundle packs in a digital copy of the newest Mario Kart title, which is expected to be a system seller for Nintendo.
While there are only 2 available bundles for now, we might get to see further announcements in the future offering a more enticing combo for gamers who might not be looking out for a new Mario Kart but instead one of the other few first-party Nintendo games, like Kirby AirRiders.
