Nintendo announces limited-time Switch 2 Choose Your Game Bundle

Nintendo has announced a new limited-time Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle, and the timing is no accident. The package includes a Nintendo Switch 2 system plus a digital download code for one of three major first-party games: Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza or Pokémon Pokopia. It will be available starting in early June for $499, which makes it a practical answer to recent price-hike concerns. For buyers, the value depends on which game they would have bought anyway. Mario Kart World is the obvious evergreen pick, Donkey Kong Bananza offers a destruction-heavy adventure built around DK and Pauline, and Pokémon Pokopia gives cozy life-sim players a Ditto-led restoration game that has already become one of Switch 2’s biggest early software hits. For Nintendo, the strategy is clear: if the hardware price is becoming harder to swallow, bundle the console with a major game and make the purchase feel less bare. It is also a useful way to keep Switch 2 momentum moving into summer.
