A coveted new console, the Nintendo Switch 2 bundled with Mario Kart World, has unexpectedly reappeared in stock at Best Buy. After a swift sell-out on Amazon, hopeful gamers now have a second chance to secure this highly sought-after package.
The bundle is currently available for $449, a significant drop from the standard $499 price point – marking the lowest price recorded to date. However, a curious detail exists: the discounted price isn’t visible until you’re logged in and the item is in your cart, a restriction imposed by Nintendo’s pricing policies.
Adding to the excitement, Best Buy is promising delivery by 9 p.m. tonight, December 24th, for qualifying locations. This astonishing turnaround time feels like a genuine Christmas miracle for those who waited.
For those needing it even faster, in-store pickup within the hour is also an option, provided it’s available at your local Best Buy. Look for the “shipping get it by 9 p.m. today” message above the “add to cart” button to confirm eligibility.
Considering Nintendo’s past promotional strategies, this bundle represents a particularly compelling offer, likely the best available for the foreseeable future. It’s a remarkable value when compared to the current price of the original OLED Nintendo Switch, which retails for $400.
The Switch 2 isn’t just a new model; it’s a substantial upgrade in every aspect. Initial reviews highlight improvements in ergonomics and design, resulting in a more comfortable and visually appealing handheld experience.
Battery life has also seen a boost, now providing approximately 180 minutes of playtime on a single charge. This extended playtime allows for longer gaming sessions without the constant worry of finding an outlet.
A key feature for existing Switch owners is full backwards compatibility. Your current library of Switch games will function seamlessly on the new console, preserving your investment.
Furthermore, select titles, such as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, can be enhanced with dedicated Switch 2 Edition upgrade packs, unlocking improved visuals and performance.
While the library of exclusive Switch 2 games is still growing, a wealth of classic Nintendo titles like Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment are readily available to provide hours of entertainment.
