Nintendo Announces 2 New Mario Kart 8 Switch Bundles Out This Fall
Nintendo has announced two new Nintendo Switch bundles for release this fall: Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online membership.
These bundles, Nintendo hopes, will prove popular among shoppers hoping to get a jump on the holiday rush.
The $349.99 Nintendo Switch – OLED Model: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle includes the Nintendo Switch – OLED Model system with white Joy-Con controllers, a download code for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game, and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online individual membership.
The $299.99 Nintendo Switch: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle includes a Nintendo Switch system with Neon Red and Neon Blue Joy-Con controllers, a download code for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game ($59.99) and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online individual membership ($19.99).
Nintendo said both bundles offer a combined saving of $79.98 each, and will be available online, in the My Nintendo store, and in select retail stores by October, while supplies last.
As the Switch nears the end of its life cycle and Nintendo readies its long-awaited announcement of the Switch 2, there are still a number of Switch exclusive games due out. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (which has just leaked) comes out September 26, Super Mario Party Jamboree launches October 17, Mario & Luigi: Brothership has a November 7 release date, and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD hits Switch on January 16, 2025.
With Nintendo Switch now in its eighth year since launch, unit sales of both hardware and software have decreased significantly year-on-year. Nintendo now faces a difficult job boosting sales of the Switch, which is now up to an incredible 140 million sold, while the world awaits its next-gen console.
