Switch 2 Mario Bundle
Nintendo launched a limited Switch 2 bundle tied to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie that runs from April 12 through May 9 and includes both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 with the hardware offer. Multiple outlets note the timing matters because Nintendo hasn’t ruled out future price changes for the console. ( )
Nintendo is offering a limited-time Switch 2 deal that pairs the console with *Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2* for $20 off through May 9. (nintendo.com) The promotion runs from Saturday, April 12, 2026, through Saturday, May 9, 2026, and applies when buyers purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 and the Mario Galaxy double-pack at the same time. Nintendo lists Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart among participating retailers. (nintendo.com) Nintendo says the Switch 2 system carries a $449.99 suggested retail price and the game collection is priced at $69.99, with the promotion reducing the combined cost by $20. IGN listed the bundle at $499.99 on April 12. (nintendo.com, ign.com) Nintendo tied the offer to *The Super Mario Galaxy Movie*, which the company said is now in theaters nationwide. The company’s announcement framed the discount as a way for moviegoers to “start their own adventure” with the two games. (nintendo.com) The software in the offer is not a new Switch 2 exclusive. Nintendo sells *Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2* as a Nintendo Switch release, and says it gets a free update on Switch 2. (nintendo.com) That update adds 4K output on compatible displays, keeps frame rates capped at 60 frames per second for 4K, and adds Joy-Con 2 mouse controls for a second player, according to Nintendo. The collection also includes improved menus, extra Storybook Chapters, and a new Assist Mode. (nintendo.com, nintendo.com) Nintendo says the deal is available “while supplies last,” and its retail-offers page says the savings can vary from the suggested retail price depending on the seller. The company also says the offer works with either the physical or digital version of the game collection. (nintendo.com) The timing lands as Nintendo has already raised prices on some Switch 2 accessories while leaving the console at $450. In a statement reported by Forbes, Nintendo said “other adjustments to the price of any Nintendo product are also possible in the future depending on market conditions.” (forbes.com) For now, the offer is simple: buy the hardware and the two-game Mario package before May 9, and Nintendo will knock $20 off the total. After that date, Nintendo’s own announcement says the promotion “blasts off” and ends. (nintendo.com)
