Nintendo’s new $500 Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game Bundle is now available in-stores and at online retailers. It was originally scheduled to launch on June 7 but has arrived a couple weeks early. The package includes the Switch 2 console and a digital game code that can be used on one of three possible titles: Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokemon Pokopia. When purchased separately, Mario Kart World retails for $80, while Donkey Kong Bananza and Pokemon Pokopia both retail for $70. That saves shoppers at least $20-$30 depending on which game you buy. Note that Nintendo announced it is raising the price of the base Switch 2 model from $450 to $500 starting September 1. The price hike will also apply to this bundle, which will jump to $550, so you will only have a few months to pick this bundle up at its current price.

As mentioned above, this new bundle includes the Switch 2 console, Switch 2 dock, a set of Joycon 2 controllers, and all the necessary components to hook the device up to your TV. You also get a voucher code that lets you pick one of three digital edition games from the Nintendo eShop:
Mario Kart World (normally $80)
Donkey Kong Bananza (normally $70)
Pokemon Pokopia (normally $70)
There is only one voucher per console, and you can only use the voucher once. However, once you’ve redeemed the game, it’s added to your library permanently and you’ll be able to download and play whenever you want. You can also share the downloaded game to other Switch 2 devices you own or those on your NSO family plan via the Swtich 2’s Virtual Game Card system.

If you’re planning to pick up the bundle but aren’t sure which game to use the voucher on, you can check out our reviews for Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Pokemon Pokopia–all of which scored 9/10 from our reviewers–to see which might appeal to you most. Note that you’ll have to download the full game to your Switch 2 before you can start playing, which can take a while depending on the file size and the strength of your internet connection. Luckily, the Switch 2 ships with 256 GB of internal storage, which is more than enough to download and install any of the games on offer. It can also be expanded using a microSD Express card. Here’s the data footprint of each of the three games you can pick, in case you’re curious:
Mario Kart World: 22 GB
Donkey Kong Bananza: 9 GB
Pokemon Pokopia: 6.2 GB
If the games in this bundle don’t appeal to you and you just want to grab a Switch 2 at the lowest possible price, you can do that at most major retailers for $450. As long as you get your order in before September 1, you’ll still get the old price before the increase. While Nintendo may not reduce the cost of its first-party games very often, you still have floods of excellent indies to choose from via the eShop and the many physical edition games available for the system.
