They were quick to clarify that physical editions aren\u2019t getting more expensive, just that the digital versions are getting cheaper. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">But, I still wouldn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">So while saving $20 on Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 isn\u2019t massive on its own, the wider context makes it a bit more compelling. If you\u2019re already considering a Switch 2, there\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">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.<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">How to Follow IGN Deals Recommendations<\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The IGN Deals team has over 30 years of combined experience finding the best discounts and preorders available online.
