Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle: Limited-Time Release and Pricing Details Announced

Nintendo has officially unveiled the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle, a limited-time package set to launch alongside the new hardware.

The announcement comes as anticipation builds for the next generation of Nintendo's popular hybrid console, which continues the company's legacy of innovation and accessible gaming experiences.

Following the remarkable success of the original Nintendo Switch, this new bundle aims to attract both long-time fans and new players to the upcoming platform. According to an official statement from Nintendo, the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle will be produced for a limited time, with availability running only through Fall 2025—at least in the United States—and will remain on sale only while supplies last.

This exclusive bundle includes the Nintendo Switch 2 system as well as a digital download code for Mario Kart World, one of the most eagerly awaited titles for the platform's launch.

Priced at a suggested retail price of $499.99 USD, it offers a notable value for those looking to experience both the new hardware and the next evolution of the iconic Mario Kart franchise from day one. For consumers who prefer to purchase the console alone, the standard Nintendo Switch 2 system will be offered at $449.99 USD.

Both the standalone system and the game bundle will be available for pre-order from April 9, 2025, at participating retailers across North America.

This launch strategy not only highlights Nintendo’s commitment to offering compelling day-one options but also provides an incentive for early adopters who want to secure both the new hardware and a marquee title for a packaged price. In their public communications, Nintendo reiterated that the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle is a time-limited production, encouraging interested players to act early, as it is expected to be in high demand.

"This bundle will be offered for a limited production period through Fall 2025, and only while stocks last," summarized a representative from Nintendo regarding availability. Mario Kart World is expected to drive significant attention and sales for the Nintendo Switch 2, building upon the enduring popularity of the Mario Kart series, which has sold over 100 million copies worldwide to date across all platforms.

The decision to include it in a launch-day bundle underscores the importance of flagship franchises in Nintendo’s hardware rollout strategies. With pre-orders opening in April and a launch date set for June 5, 2025, the limited nature of this bundle may generate additional urgency among fans.

As with previous limited releases, demand is anticipated to be strong, so securing a pre-order may be the best option for those looking to join the next phase of Nintendo’s gaming landscape at launch.
