Switch 2 Mario Bundle

Nintendo is running a limited-time Switch 2 promotion that cuts $20 off when buyers purchase the console with *Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2*, bringing the combined price to $499.98 at participating retailers. (nintendo.com) The offer started April 12 and runs through May 9, 2026, while supplies last. Nintendo said the discount applies when the $449.99 Switch 2 and the $69.99 game collection are bought together at retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart. (nintendo.com) Nintendo is framing the promotion around *The Super Mario Galaxy Movie*, which it said is in theaters nationwide. The company’s announcement pairs the hardware deal with the movie’s release window and calls April “a cosmic-sized month for Mario.” (nintendo.com) The bundle is not a separate special-edition console in Nintendo’s announcement. It is a retail offer: buy the system and either the physical or digital version of the game package at the same time, and the price drops by $20. (nintendo.com) The timing matters because Switch 2 launched on June 5, 2025, at $449.99 in the United States, and Nintendo has mostly kept that base price intact. Its first major $499.99 bundle paired the console with *Mario Kart World* at launch. (nintendo.com) Nintendo has since expanded the bundle strategy beyond launch. The company now also sells a Switch 2 + *Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition* bundle through its store, showing a pattern of using major first-party games to package the hardware. (nintendo.com) The game collection in this offer is also being positioned as a Switch 2 showcase. Nintendo said a free update lets players jump straight into the two games on Switch 2, with enhanced resolution, improved user interface changes, extra Storybook Chapters, a new Assist Mode, and support for 4K output on compatible displays. (nintendo.com) Nintendo said the Switch 2 version also supports Joy-Con 2 mouse controls for a second player in the Galaxy games. The hardware itself includes a 7.9-inch 1080p screen, 256 gigabytes of internal storage, magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers, and a dock that supports up to 4K output with compatible games and televisions. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) For buyers, the math is straightforward: Nintendo is discounting a package that would otherwise total $519.98 at suggested retail pricing. The company’s message is simpler still — if you want a Switch 2 and a Mario game this month, it wants that sale tied to Mario’s latest movie push. (nintendo.com)
