Nintendo is rolling out a limited-time Switch 2 bundle that pairs the console with Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 for $500. (nintendo.com) Nintendo said the offer runs from April 12 through May 9, 2026 at select retailers and cuts $20 off the combined price of the hardware and game. IGN reported the bundle had gone live as Nintendo’s latest Switch 2 promotion. (nintendo.com, ign.com) Retail listings surfaced at Walmart, where the standard Switch 2 console was listed at $449 and the Galaxy bundle at $518 as of the latest crawl. Target search results also showed a $449.99 standalone Switch 2 console and a $499.99 Mario Kart World bundle alongside the $69.99 Galaxy game collection. (walmart.com, target.com) The package ties Nintendo’s new hardware to one of Mario’s older 3D platform series, with Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 sold as a single Nintendo Switch release. Amazon and Target both list that game collection at about $69.99 on its own. (amazon.com, target.com) Nintendo framed the offer as part of a broader Mario push in April 2026, saying it follows the theatrical release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The company’s announcement also positions the bundle as a way to start with Switch 2 and a first-party game in one purchase. (nintendo.com) The hardware Nintendo is bundling is its newer Switch 2 model, which Walmart’s product page describes with a 7.9-inch 1080p screen, support for up to 120 frames per second, and a dock with 4K output on compatible televisions. Walmart’s listing also says the system includes GameChat features tied to the new Joy-Con 2 controller layout. (walmart.com) The game collection itself repackages two Wii-era Mario titles for Switch with updated resolution, revised controls for Joy-Con, interface changes, and extra content, according to Amazon, Walmart, and Target listings. Those retailer pages also describe added Storybook chapters, music, and an Assist Mode with more health and fall recovery. (amazon.com, walmart.com, target.com) The immediate question is whether the $500 offer holds across major chains through May 9. Nintendo says the discount is available at select retailers, and the early listings show sellers still posting different standalone and bundle prices around the same products.
