Nintendo has expanded its hardware bundle lineup for Europe with multiple confirmed releases across current and next-generation Switch hardware.
Following the previously announced Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Switch Lite bundle, Nintendo will roll out additional bundle packages in October 2026 for both the Nintendo Switch and the next Switch hardware platform, referred to here as Switch 2.
Confirmed bundle schedule and contents
- Switch 2 — Nintendo Switch Sports Resort bundle (October 22, 2026): Nintendo will release a Switch 2 bundle that includes Nintendo Switch Sports Resort as a digital download code.
The package also includes three months of Nintendo Switch Online membership.
- Switch 2 — Mario Kart World bundle (October 29, 2026): A Switch 2 bundle featuring Mario Kart World will arrive one week later.
Like the Sports Resort bundle, this set supplies the game as a download code and includes three months of Nintendo Switch Online membership.
- Nintendo Switch — Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle (October 29, 2026): For the existing Nintendo Switch, Nintendo is releasing a new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle on October 29, 2026.
Unlike the Switch 2 bundles, this package will include a physical copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
In journalistic terms: Nintendo confirmed multiple Europe-only bundle releases in October 2026, with the Switch 2 getting two digital-code-based bundles and the original Switch receiving a retail-disc Mario Kart 8 Deluxe package.
Each Switch 2 bundle is paired with a three-month Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
Why these bundles matter
Nintendo has a long history of pairing consoles with flagship titles to drive holiday-season sales and simplify the buying experience for new players.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, originally released for Nintendo Switch in 2017, remains one of the platform’s best-selling titles and a perennial inclusion in bundle promotions.
Offering games as download codes for the Switch 2 bundles aligns with Nintendo’s ongoing digital distribution strategy through the eShop, while the physical copy inclusion for the standard Switch caters to collectors and players who prefer boxed releases.
Availability and where to buy
Nintendo’s announcement lists Europe as the target region for these bundles and confirms the October 22 and October 29, 2026 street dates.
Buyers looking to redeem the Switch 2 download codes will use the Nintendo eShop to download their games and activate the included Nintendo Switch Online membership.
If you plan to purchase one of these bundles, check official Nintendo channels and authorized retailers for pre-order windows and regional stock updates.
