Nintendo has officially ceased production of the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle in the United States, confirming the end of one of the platform’s most popular limited-time offers.
This development was initially revealed through an internal memo from the major video game retailer GameStop, which indicated that the specific bundle SKU has reached the end of its lifecycle.
According to the memo, additional units will no longer be produced and future shipments to retailers will consist only of the Nintendo Switch 2 base console. The Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle originally launched as a limited-time promotion, allowing consumers to purchase the updated console along with a digital copy of Mario Kart World at a bundled discount.
While Nintendo previously acknowledged that the offer would not be permanent, the company did not specify the exact timeline for its discontinuation.
This week's communication clarifies that the bundle’s production has already ended in the United States, and retailers will only be able to sell remaining inventory on hand.
Once those units are sold, no additional stock will be supplied. The bundle’s popularity was driven in part by its competitive pricing.
Mario Kart World—a flagship title in Nintendo’s lineup for the new hardware—retails for $80 on its own, while the bundle cost $500, effectively offering customers a savings of $30.
As a result, the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle has been widely regarded as a value-packed entry point for both longtime fans and new adopters of Nintendo’s next-generation console.
Though the promotional offer is ending, industry observers expect Nintendo to roll out additional themed bundles for the Switch 2, maintaining the company’s longstanding tradition of pairing hardware with marquee software releases. As recently as October, Nintendo introduced another highly anticipated Switch 2 bundle featuring Pokémon Legends: Z-A, underscoring the ongoing strategy to boost hardware adoption with attractive software-included packages.
While details on future bundles remain under wraps, consumers are advised to act quickly if they hope to secure the Mario Kart World bundle before supplies are exhausted. For more verified updates on Nintendo Switch 2 releases, special editions, and upcoming software bundles, continue following coverage on official retailer channels and Nintendo Direct presentations.
The shift away from the Mario Kart World bundle signals the beginning of new promotional opportunities as Nintendo evolves its offerings on the Switch 2 platform.
