One of the biggest surprises of Cyber Monday was the terrific discount we saw on the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle, which dropped in price by $50. We expected the price to return to normal once the shopping holiday ended, but to our surprise, it’s still going strong two days later. Several major retailers are offering the console bundle for $449.99 ($50 off) — including Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. Since it’s a high-demand item, Walmart and Best Buy require that you add the bundle to your cart before seeing the discounted price.
The current promo effectively gets you a free digital copy of Mario Kart World, which typically retails for $79.99 on its own. Given that tariff-induced price hikes have recently made consoles like the original Switch, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5 to become more expensive, this deal is a welcome reprieve. However, we don’t anticipate it sticking around much longer, so if you or someone you know is on the hunt for the Switch 2, now’s the time to pick one up.
The Nintendo Switch 2 offers a nice upgrade over the original, with an expansive 7.9-inch 1080p LCD screen, magnetic Joy-Con controllers, and improved performance. It can play most original Switch games, and the system’s library of must-play titles continues to grow, with big releases like Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, Kirby Air Riders, and the recently released Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
Update, December 4th: Updated to reflect the recent release of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and the fact that the Switch 2 deal is available once again at Amazon.
