Arguably the best Cyber Monday deal I didn’t see coming is still live: The new Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart World bundle is still discounted today, which is surprising—there’s no real incentive to knock money off a brand-new system, and it wasn’t discounted at all during Black Friday.
But yes, at the moment, you can still get the game and system for $449 (down from $499) at Walmart (Amazon‘s stock is completely out)—the lowest price it has reached yet, according to price tracking tools. (Note that you can only see the price once you’ve signed in and it’s in your cart, as Nintendo restricts retailers from promoting anything below the “minimum advertised price” of $499.) With Christmas on the way, this deal is likely to sell out fast, so I’d advise ordering it sooner rather than later if you’re considering it.
To put into perspective how good this deal is, the OLED edition of the original Nintendo Switch is $400 right now, meaning you can get the new system and a great game for only $50 more—and the Switch 2 is an upgrade in every way, according to Lifehacker’s review. You can play your old Switch games on the Switch 2, since it’s backwards compatible. The ergonomics and design have improved, making it much better to hold and look at. The battery life has also improved, now with about 180 minutes of handheld playtime before the juice runs out.
What do you think so far?
The biggest thing to consider when deciding whether you should buy a Switch 2 right now is that the library is currently on the smaller side, with few absolute must-play titles yet released (and the ones that are out may cost more, going up to $80). But being able to play your older games does make the transition easier, especially considering some games, like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, will look better on the Switch 2.
