Nintendo Officially Launches New Limited-Time Switch 2 Bundle Deal With Super Mario Galaxy 1+2

But perhaps the most compelling argument for jumping on this deal isn’t the savings themselves, but the protection against future costs.

Sony’s recent decision to hike PlayStation 5 prices has sent shockwaves through the industry, rattling a lot of potential buyers and serving as a stark reminder that hardware prices just aren’t as reliable as they used to be.

Most recently, Nintendo even announced a new pricing model for Switch 2 games. They were quick to clarify that physical editions aren’t getting more expensive, just that the digital versions are getting cheaper.

But, I still wouldn’t be surprised if the constant changes makes you a bit nervous, especially when new releases like Elden Ring continue to wrack up an $80 price tag.

Par for the course, Nintendo has already upped prices for various OG Switch products in the U.S. since last year, and while it hasn’t officially announced a price increase for the Switch 2, we have been warned that price changes for the Switch 2, video games, and the Nintendo Switch Online membership may be coming down the line soon.

So while saving $20 on Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 isn’t massive on its own, the wider context makes it a bit more compelling. If you’re already considering a Switch 2, there’s a decent argument for getting in now rather than waiting around for a better deal that may never come, or worse, getting caught out by a price hike later.

The new Switch 2 and Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 bundle is available now, and can be purchased from retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target, as both physical and digitial editions for the included game.
