One of the biggest surprises of Cyber Monday was the excellent discount we saw on the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle, which dropped the price of Nintendo’s latest console by $50. We expected the price to return to normal once the shopping holiday ended, but — surprise, surprise — it’s still going strong. Walmart is currently offering the gaming bundle for $449.99 ($50 off) when you add it to your cart. Since it’s a high-demand item, you’ll need to create a Walmart account in order to go through the checkout process.
The current promo effectively gets you a free digital copy of Mario Kart World, which typically retails for $79.99 on its own (the limited-edition bundle normally retails for $499.99). Given that tariff-induced price hikes have recently made consoles like the original Switch, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5 to become more expensive, this deal is a welcome reprieve. However, we don’t anticipate it sticking around, so if you or someone you know is on the hunt for the Switch 2, now’s the time to pick one up.
The Nintendo Switch 2 offers a nice upgrade over the original, with an expansive 7.9-inch 1080p LCD screen, magnetic Joy-Con controllers, and improved performance. It can play most original Switch games, and the system’s library of must-play titles continues to grow, with big releases like Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, Kirby Air Riders, and the forthcoming Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
