E.Leclerc Announces Permanent Price Cut for Nintendo Switch 2 Bundles in France

In a significant move for French gamers, leading retailer E.Leclerc has officially announced a permanent price reduction on its selection of Nintendo Switch 2 console bundles.

As of October 14, customers in France can take advantage of the newly reduced price point for two of the platform’s most anticipated packages—the Mario Kart World bundle and the Pokémon Legends Z-A bundle—now available at €469.

This initiative is aimed at increasing sales and making the latest Nintendo hardware more accessible to a broader audience across the country. E.Leclerc, recognized as one of the foremost retail chains in France, has a long history of offering competitive deals on popular gaming consoles and titles.

Their decision to implement a lasting price drop for these Nintendo Switch 2 bundles underscores the retailer’s commitment to providing value for French Nintendo fans.

Though the Nintendo Switch 2 has garnered widespread attention since its unveiling, price remains a major consideration for both returning players and those new to the Nintendo ecosystem. A representative for E.Leclerc conveyed the retailer’s intent to improve customer access to top-tier gaming packages, explaining that the price adjustments for the Mario Kart World and Pokémon Legends Z-A bundles are designed to "make the Nintendo Switch 2 more affordable for everyone and bolster interest ahead of the busy holiday season." This direct approach sets E.Leclerc apart in the increasingly competitive French gaming retail landscape. Since its debut, the Nintendo Switch 2 has continued Nintendo’s tradition of hybrid hardware innovation, following on the global success of the original Nintendo Switch.

The platform has quickly become home to anticipated releases such as Mario Kart World and Pokémon Legends Z-A, both highly anticipated by fans and developed by Nintendo’s first-party studios.

These bundles, now offered at a more attractive price, come with exclusive themed packaging and digital content, making them some of the most enticing offerings available on the French market. To date, there has been no official confirmation as to whether other major French retailers will follow E.Leclerc’s example by adjusting pricing on their own Nintendo Switch 2 stock.

However, with the holiday shopping season fast approaching, the permanent reduction at E.Leclerc may pave the way for similar moves elsewhere in the market. For French players eager to experience the latest in Nintendo’s storied platform legacy, E.Leclerc’s new pricing ensures greater accessibility without compromising on value.

The permanent price cut reaffirms not only Nintendo’s enduring appeal in France but also the strategic importance of aggressive retail partnerships in the dynamic European gaming sector. Gamers can visit their local E.Leclerc stores or the retailer’s online platform to purchase the Mario Kart World and Pokémon Legends Z-A Nintendo Switch 2 bundles at the reduced price from October 14.

With these major franchises now more affordable than ever, the French Nintendo community has ample reason to celebrate this bold move in the hardware marketplace.
