Nintendo Reveals New Limited-Time Switch 2 Deal

A new Nintendo Switch 2 offer will soon be available via participating retailers across the US, which will include a discount on a new Switch 2 console when purchased with a physical or digital copy of Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2. The new Switch 2 offer starts April 12 and runs for approximately one month, so interested shoppers can plan and budget accordingly.

The Switch 2 deal will arrive just days after the theatrical launch of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. As the follow-up film to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie includes characters from both the Super Mario franchise and other Nintendo IPs. Although reviews of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie were mixed, the latest film from Nintendo and Illumination had a strong box office opening, grossing over $372.5 million worldwide during its opening weekend.

Deal runs from April 12 to May 9

To go alongside The Super Mario Galaxy Movie‘s launch, customers looking to get a new Nintendo Switch 2 console will soon have a new offer to consider. Starting Sunday, April 12, users can save $20 on a new Switch 2 system when purchased alongside a copy of Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2. The Switch 2 offer ends Saturday, May 9, giving buyers a month to consider Nintendo’s upcoming deal. Given that Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 is priced at $69.99, the discount essentially makes the Switch 2 and two-game pack cost $499.99 before taxes and fees are applied. Although the exact bundle price was not posted by Nintendo, the estimated cost would be similar to other Nintendo Switch 2 console and game bundles, such as the Pokemon Legends: Z-A Switch 2 bundle.

The Nintendo Switch 2 discount offer will be available at retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, GameStop, and Target across the US. Nintendo stated that supplies and savings will vary by retailer, so interested buyers should check to see what is available at their nearest store. Although Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a Nintendo Switch title, a free Switch 2 update for both Super Mario Galaxy titles is also available for users to download. The Switch 2 patch for Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 allows the games to be playable at up to 4K in Docked mode and in 1080p in Handheld Mode. Ergo, the free Switch 2 patch for Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 means that the recently-launched Handheld Boost Mode on the Switch 2 console is not necessary.

Prospective Buyers Should Not Wait Long to Get a Switch 2

However, customers on the fence about getting a Switch 2 may wish to consider Nintendo’s new offer. With the ongoing RAM shortage crisis causing the prices of essential components to skyrocket, predictions about the Switch 2’s price have trended toward an increase. Although Nintendo has kept the Switch 2 at its $449.99 MSRP since launch, company president Shuntaro Furukawa stated that Nintendo would monitor market conditions closely before making a decision.
