The reason is twofold. One is the impending price increase that will raise the price from $449.99 to $499.99 in the US starting September 1. The other is because Nintendo just released a bundle that gets you a Switch 2 console, plus your choice between three Switch 2-exclusive games, all for $499.99, saving you up to $30 off buying them separately (<strong>see it at Amazon<\/strong>). This is the best deal we\u2019re likely to see between now and the price hike, so grab it if you want it.<\/p>\n<p><h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\" data-toc-title=\"Get the bundle\">Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"238744\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\"><span data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"238744\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-722342313 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/05\/19\/3-1779196156359.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/05\/19\/3-1779196156359.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3381835873 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" disabled=\"\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>5<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"solo-product-description\" class=\"description SoloProduct_description__emO_M\">\n<div data-cy=\"article-subtitle\" class=\"article jsx-3932497636 small\">\n<p>Games to choose from are Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The game you get is a digital download, and you can choose between Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia. Click a title to read our review, but no game scored below an 8\/10, so they\u2019re all worth picking up. You just get to choose which one you want to play first. If you want the best bang for your buck, go with Mario Kart World, as that game (in)famously retails for $79.99, while the other two are $69.99.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">I got a Switch 2 at launch, and I\u2019m incredibly happy with the purchase. The 7.9-inch display looks enormous compared to the original Switch. The colors are so vibrant, I don\u2019t miss my old Switch OLED at all, even though the Switch 2 has an LCD display. I don\u2019t know what technical wizardry Nintendo used to pull that off, but I\u2019m glad it worked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\" data-toc-title=\"Get some accessories\">Switch 2 Accessories<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Honestly, I haven\u2019t used most of the Switch 2\u2019s unique upgrades over its predecessor, like GameChat or the Joy-Con 2\u2019s mouse mode. But the power improvements are instantly obvious, because the games look and run great. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This is also the first Nintendo system in ages that can play many third-party games in their original state, without significant downgrades. I\u2019m talking games like Cyberpunk 2077, Star Wars Outlaws, and Resident Evil Requiem. Plus it can play all first-party Nintendo games going forward for years to come, which is the main reason to buy the system in the first place. Check out our Switch 2 review for more info.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">So if you\u2019re planning to get a Switch 2 in the coming years, I would absolutely buy this bundle, and I\u2019d buy it before the price goes up on September 1. There\u2019s no guarantee that Nintendo won\u2019t follow what both Sony and Microsoft have done and implement a second increase, later on. We live in weird, bad times. Get your Switch 2 while it\u2019s relatively inexpensive. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">And while you&#8217;re at it, pick up whatever Switch 2 accessories you&#8217;ll want as well.<\/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.
