Nintendo Announces New Switch Bundles Featuring Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Nintendo Switch Online

Nintendo Announces New Switch Bundles Featuring Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Nintendo Switch Online Nintendo has once again expanded its best-selling hardware lineup with two new Nintendo Switch bundles, making the fan-favorite Mario Kart 8 Deluxe even more accessible to players ahead of the holiday season.

These newly announced bundles, now available for purchase, combine the excitement of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with a full year of Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership, delivering both premier racing action and a robust online experience to new and returning fans alike. The latest packages, unveiled shortly after the successful launch of the Super Mario Bros.

Wonder bundle in Australia, cater to different preferences with both a standard Nintendo Switch and a Nintendo Switch OLED Model option.

Each bundle provides a digital download code for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe—the highest-selling title in the Nintendo Switch library—and includes 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online, allowing users to enjoy multiplayer racing, classic NES and SNES titles, and other online benefits.

It is important to note that these bundles do not include the Booster Course Pass downloadable content, a detail confirmed by the official packaging, which specifies the inclusion of the full base game only. These Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundles build on Nintendo’s tradition of offering attractive package deals during key retail periods.

Last year, the company released a similar Switch OLED bundle in Australia, and comparable bundles have become a staple of Nintendo’s holiday strategy worldwide.

With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe holding a record for unparalleled sales—over 60 million units sold globally since its original release on Wii U and subsequent launch on the Nintendo Switch—the enduring popularity of both the game and the platform is evident. In an official statement, a Nintendo spokesperson reiterated the company’s commitment to keeping its flagship series accessible: "By offering bundles that combine beloved titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with a Nintendo Switch system and online membership, we continue to welcome new players and families into the world of Nintendo." Nintendo Switch, now in its seventh year, remains a powerhouse in the gaming market thanks to a steady stream of exclusive games, innovative hardware revisions such as the OLED Model, and ongoing support via services like Nintendo Switch Online.

The inclusion of a 12-month membership not only provides access to online multiplayer gaming but also opens the door to a growing library of classic games through the eShop. With these new Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED bundles featuring Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a year of Nintendo Switch Online, Nintendo ensures both newcomers and seasoned fans have ample reason to join the racing fun this fall.

The bundles are available now at select retailers and through the Nintendo eShop, offering a compelling entry point—and another testament to Mario Kart’s enduring legacy on the platform.
