The Nintendo Switch 2 is getting a new Black Friday deal, giving players a chance to save some money on Nintendo’s latest console ahead of the holidays. While the Switch 2 has built an impressive lineup of games, Mario Kart World remains one of its biggest attractions. Of course, buying a new console isn’t exactly cheap, especially when factoring in the price of games, accessories, and online subscriptions. Black Friday is a good time to get those a little cheaper, at least.
Mario Kart World has been one of the biggest releases for the Nintendo Switch 2, taking the familiar racing series in a new direction with its interconnected open world. It’s also one of the most obvious games to pick up alongside a new Switch 2. Nintendo already offers a bundle featuring Mario Kart World, but its upcoming Black Friday promotion makes that package an even better deal.
Save $50 on the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle
Nintendo has confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle will be available for $499.99 from November 22 through December 5, saving customers $50. The bundle includes the Switch 2 console, a full digital download of Mario Kart World, and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership. The membership is a nice bonus, especially since Mario Kart World features online multiplayer, giving newcomers 90 days to race against other players without paying separately for a subscription. The deal will be available through participating retailers while supplies last.
A couple of things are worth keeping in mind about the latest Nintendo Switch 2 Black Friday deal. First, Mario Kart World is included as a digital download, meaning there isn’t a physical copy of the game in the box. The $50 savings also apply to the bundle, not the standalone console, so anyone hoping Nintendo would announce a broader Switch 2 price cut is still out of luck. However, considering that Mario Kart World normally costs $79.99 on its own, the $499.99 bundle offers a considerably cheaper way to pick up both the console and one of its biggest games (along with the included online membership).

Anyone planning to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 this holiday season may want to keep November 22 in mind, as Nintendo notes that stock could run out before the promotion ends. It’s not a massive price cut or outside Nintendo’s normal wheelhouse, but new consoles don’t always receive meaningful Black Friday discounts this early in their lifespan.
As GameRant wrote in its review of the Nintendo Switch 2 console, “it needs to be stressed that the Nintendo Switch 2 is a massive leap forward compared to the Switch 1. It has more features, and can run more demanding games. While the Switch OLED’s fancy screen is definitely missed, the Switch 2’s larger screen is a game-changer. Games simply look better on the Switch 2, and that fact alone may be enough to convince some people that they need to buy the console.”
