Nintendo isn't typically one to discount its consoles. Even during Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year, the new Nintendo Switch 2 maintained its full price.
But for those who held off, Amazon is actually offering a bit of a post-Black Friday discount on the Switch 2 + Mario Kart Bundle. Right now, the online retail giant is selling the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart Bundle for $449, 10% off its normal price of $499.99. This discount marks the lowest price we've seen for the bundle to date, and I doubt it will get much lower throughout the holiday season.
For comparison, at $449, the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart Bundle is now priced the exact same as the standard Nintendo Switch 2 standalone system, so you're basically getting Mario Kart World -- a $80 value -- for free! We're not sure how long this discount will last, so you may want to move quickly.
It's unclear why Amazon is selling the bundle at this price, especially since other retailers like Target, Walmart, and even Nintendo are still selling it at its regular cost.
As a quick reminder, the Nintendo Switch 2 is the next evolution of the highly popular Switch console. It offers a 7.9" 1080p screen along with an updated dock that supports up to 4K resolution and frame rates up to 120 fps. The reimagined Joy-Con 2 controllers now feature magnetic connectors to snap into place, and each controller can also be used as a mouse in compatible games.
New to the Switch 2 is GameChat, essentially voice party chat with friends that also allows for game screen sharing. A Nintendo Switch Online membership is required to use GameChat, but right now it's free during the open-access period until March 31, 2026.
As for Mario Kart World, it's the newest entry in Nintendo's long-running kart racing series. Exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2, Mario Kart World now takes you beyond the race course with an open world that features mountains, forests, cities, and more with shifting weather patterns and a day/night cycle. The game supports up to 24 racers, the most ever in the franchise's history, and boasts several new game modes.
Most of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals have now ended, but we'll be sure to keep an eye out for any last-minute holiday discounts being offered on Nintendo games and consoles. However, this may be the best price we see on the Nintendo Switch 2 all year.
