Nintendo opens Switch 2 'Choose Your Game' bundle

Nintendo opened U.S. preorders on Tuesday for a new Switch 2 package that lets buyers pick one digital game with the console. Nintendo’s store listing and a GameSpot preorder report both showed the “Choose Your Game Bundle” live on May 19, with a $499.99 price and a voucher for one of three Nintendo eShop titles. (nintendo.com) The bundle is Nintendo’s latest hardware offer for the Switch 2 as the company pushes a system page that says buyers can “save up to $29.99” with the package. (nintendo.com) Nintendo said the offer is available while supplies last, and its May 12 news post said participating retailers would begin offering it in early June. (nintendo.com) ### Which games are actually included with the voucher? Nintendo’s store page says the download-code insert can be redeemed for one of three digital games exclusive to Switch 2: *Mario Kart World*, *Donkey Kong Bananza*, or *Pokémon Pokopia*. GameSpot reported the same three-game lineup in its preorder story published May 19. (nintendo.com) The May 12 Nintendo announcement described the package as a “Choose Your Game Bundle” rather than a fixed pack-in, which means buyers select one title instead of receiving all three. Nintendo’s main Switch 2 landing page repeats that structure and the stated savings figure. (nintendo.com) ### What hardware comes in the box besides the game code? Nintendo’s product listing says the package includes a Switch 2 system and a “Choose One” download code insert. The company’s broader Switch 2 hardware page lists the standard system contents as the console, Joy-Con 2 controllers, dock, AC adapter, USB-C charging cable, Joy-Con 2 grip, straps and an HDMI cable. (nintendo.com) GameSpot’s report summarized the bundle as including the console and digital game code, and Nintendo’s promotional language on its system page says the package is built around the Switch 2 hardware set with the added game choice. (nintendo.com) ### Why is Nintendo emphasizing “save up to $29.99”? Nintendo’s website says the bundle offers savings of up to $29.99 compared with buying the system and one of the included digital games separately. The company used that same figure on the Switch 2 landing page, the product listing and its retail-offers page. The $499.99 price is also the figure Nintendo cited in its May 12 news post, which said participating retailers would carry the package at that suggested retail price. (nintendo.com) GameSpot’s story matched that price in its preorder coverage. ### Where can buyers find it now? (gamespot.com) Nintendo’s U.S. online store has a live product page for the bundle, and the company’s retail-offers page lists the Switch 2 “choose your game bundle” with “additional retailers coming soon.” GameSpot’s article said preorders were open and linked to retailer availability. (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s May 12 announcement said the bundle would launch “starting in early June,” so the next concrete step is retailer rollout beyond Nintendo’s own store. Buyers looking for availability can monitor Nintendo’s store listing and retail-offers page, where the company is naming participating sellers for the Switch 2 package.
