Nintendo has announced a new limited-time Switch 2 deal. Anyone who purchases the console can save $20 on the physical or digital version of Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 when bought together, and the special runs April 12 through May 9. Participating retailers include Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart. Normally $70, both games will cost just $50 with this offer.
Arriving in the wake of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie–which is taking the global box office by storm–Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 includes both of the classic Wii games in one package. Considered to be two of the best 3D Mario games ever made, these interstellar adventures have also received a big update for Switch 2. In addition to an enhanced 4K resolution and improved user interface, players can also jump into extra storybook chapters, and a new Assist Mode makes them more accessible.
The first Super Mario Galaxy game followed Mario on a journey across the cosmos to recover the stolen Power Stars from Bowser, and it introduced the fan-favorite character Rosalina. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the adventure expanded to the distant reaches of space, and Yoshi joined Mario on his quest.
The Switch 2 is approaching its first anniversary since release, and so far, Nintendo’s new console has proven itself to be a portable powerhouse. While its hardware is more modest in comparison to a PC gaming handheld like an Asus ROG Xbox Ally X, it’s still a capable hybrid console that’s capable of running modern games like Resident Evil Requiem, and it’s currently home to an exclusive library of titles like Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokemon Pokopia, and Mario Kart World.
Add substantial updates for some of the best games from the previous Switch generation, and you have a console ready to roll with a killer library.
“The successor to one of Nintendo’s most popular pieces of hardware is a refined, premium version of what lots of gamers already loved,” Steve Watts wrote in GameSpot’s Switch 2 review.
