Nintendo’s latest console bundle is already here, but it won’t stay at $500 for long. The Switch 2 "Choose Your Game" package includes a 256GB console and a full-price digital game, with the option to pick from three top titles. Retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and the Nintendo Store are selling the bundle now, ahead of a planned September price increase to $499.99 for the standalone console.
The bundle’s value lies in its flexibility. Instead of locking you into a single game, Nintendo lets you choose one of three 2025 releases upon first setup. Your options are Mario Kart World, Pokémon Pokopia, and Donkey Kong Bananza, each priced at $69.99 except for Mario Kart World, which retails for $79.99. By bundling a game at a discount, Nintendo effectively reduces the total cost of ownership for early adopters.
How to claim your free game
Redeeming the included game is a simple process that takes less than two minutes. Start by powering on your Switch 2 and connecting it to the internet. From the console’s home screen, open the eShop—Nintendo’s digital storefront—and select Redeem Code from the left-side menu. Enter the 16-character code that came with your bundle, then confirm your game choice. The game will download automatically to your system’s 256GB internal SSD.
While the included games are relatively lightweight, storage can become a concern as your library grows. Mario Kart World is the largest of the three, requiring 22GB of space. Nintendo’s built-in storage may not be enough for seasoned collectors, so upgrading with a high-speed microSD Express card is a smart move. A 256GB Samsung microSD Express card is currently on sale for $47.99—down from $79.99—making it an affordable way to expand your console’s capacity.
What’s next for the Switch 2
This early retail availability gives buyers a chance to lock in the $499.99 price before Nintendo raises it later this year. The bundle’s inclusion of a free game sweetens the deal, especially for fans eager to try the console’s upgraded performance and new titles. With holiday shopping season approaching, inventory may tighten, so securing your bundle now could prevent last-minute price hikes or shortages.
For those still deciding whether to upgrade, the Switch 2’s improved hardware and the bundled game offer a compelling entry point. Whether you’re drawn to high-speed racing in Mario Kart World, the strategic depth of Pokémon Pokopia, or the chaotic fun of Donkey Kong Bananza, the choice is yours—just don’t wait too long to claim it.
