Nintendo announced two US Switch 2 bundles: Switch 2 + Mario Kart World for $550 launching in late September, and Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort for $530 launching Oct. 22. Each bundle includes a Switch 2 console, a digital game code and a 3-month Nintendo Switch Online individual membership. The console price rises $50 to $500 on Sept. 1 and that higher base price is built into the new bundle pricing; buying the console, Mario Kart and three months of Online at current prices totals about $538, roughly $12 cheaper than the new $550 bundle.

• Switch 2 base price increases from $450 to $500 on Sept. 1; the Mario Kart bundle is priced at $550 as a result.
• Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle launches late September and includes a Switch 2, a digital Mario Kart World code, and a 3-month Nintendo Switch Online membership; the package is presented as $38 cheaper than buying items at the new prices; a June 2025 Mario Kart bundle previously sold for $500 but did not include the Online membership and was discontinued.
• Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort bundle launches Oct. 22 for $530 and includes a Switch 2, a digital Sports Resort code, and a 3-month Nintendo Switch Online membership; the new Sports title features 12 sports at launch, including thumb wrestling.
• Current pricing comparison: Switch 2 at $450 + Mario Kart World at $80 + a 3-month Switch Online membership at about $8 equals $538 now, so purchasing those items separately today is about $12 cheaper (before tax) than buying the $550 Mario Kart bundle in September.
