Nintendo Switch 2's Getting Two New Bundles, After The Price Hike

Key Points:

• Nintendo Switch 2 will see a $50 price increase soon, raising the base cost to $500, aligning it with recent price hikes for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
• Two new bundles will launch post-increase: a returning Mario Kart World bundle priced at $550, and a new Nintendo Switch Sports Resort bundle at $530, both including a 90-day Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
• Neither bundle includes physical copies of the games, and the included online subscription is a basic 90-day trial, not the more comprehensive Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack or Family Membership.
• Nintendo cited ongoing market conditions for the price increase, despite a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling against tariffs previously impacting the company; the U.S. price hike is notably higher than in Europe.
• Fans hope for more diverse bundles in the future, as notable franchises like Donkey Kong and Pokémon currently lack dedicated bundle options.
