Nintendo of America has confirmed a region-wide suggested retail price increase for the Nintendo Switch 2 and revealed two upcoming themed bundles for the portable home console successor.

The company also provided release windows and bundle contents, each including a digital game code and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership that can be redeemed via the Nintendo eShop.

Price changes take effect on 1 September 2026.

In the United States the Nintendo Switch 2 suggested retail price will rise from $449.99 to $499.99 (excluding tax).

In Canada the price moves from $629.99 to $679.99 (excluding tax).

Across much of Europe the suggested price increases from €469.99 to €499.99 (including tax), and in the United Kingdom the change is from £395.99 to £419.99 (including tax).

Nintendo also outlined two bundle offerings that will follow the price changes.

Arriving in "late September," the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle will include the console, a digital code for Mario Kart World, and a 3‑Month (90‑Day) Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership.

Nintendo lists the bundle price at $549.99 and states this represents a savings of $37.98 compared to buying each item separately.

The second package, the Nintendo Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Bundle, is scheduled for release on 22 October 2026.

That bundle contains the console, a digital code for Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and a 3‑Month Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership, with a listed price of $529.99 and a stated savings of $27.98.

Current regional listings indicate the Sports Resort bundle is slated for Europe on 22 October 2026, while the Mario Kart World bundle has not yet been confirmed for that region.

Nintendo’s bundle descriptions emphasize digital codes that purchasers can redeem through the Nintendo eShop.

Background: the Nintendo Switch 2 succeeds the original Nintendo Switch family, which launched in March 2017, and continues Nintendo’s focus on a hybrid portable/home console.

The new MSRP and bundle details are now official; consumers can expect the price increase to apply beginning 1 September 2026 and the two bundles to appear in their respective windows as detailed above.
