Get ready, gamers! Nintendo is shaking things up with its first Switch 2 bundles, just in time for the console's upcoming price increase. Starting September, two exciting options will be available - grab the platform paired with Mario Kart World or Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, offering savings you don't want to miss. The Switch 2 is set to soar in price by $50 in the US, Canada, UK, and mainland Europe, starting September 8th. The first bundle, available from late September, includes Mario Kart World and three months of Nintendo Switch Online membership for a total of $549.99 - that's a savings of $37.98! From October 22nd, a second bundle will be on offer with the release of Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, complete with a 90-day Nintendo Switch Online subscription. This bundle sells for $529.99, another great deal according to Nintendo. If you're looking to snag a fancier console design, leaked images hint at a The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Nintendo Switch 2 console and Pro Controller. Pricing details are yet to be announced, but they might drop soon, possibly ahead of the upcoming Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Nintendo broke the news about the price hike back in May, giving customers ample time to prepare for the cost increase. With global market conditions forcing their hand, Nintendo apologized for the need to raise prices and stated that it had been compelled to consider "the global business outlook." This price rise is just one example of hardware manufacturers adjusting costs amidst global uncertainty around shipping, tariffs, and escalating component prices. The likes of PlayStation, Xbox, and Valve have also increased their prices over the past year. So, if you're thinking about diving into the Switch 2 gaming world, now might be the perfect time!
