The biggest (and, frankly, most surprising) Cyber Monday deal has now gone live at three major retailers. You can get $50 off a Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. That brings the bundle, which normally costs $500, down to $450. It’s the first and only discount the Nintendo Switch 2 has had since it launched earlier this year. There’s no telling how long the sale will last (or remain in stock), so grab one if you’ve been wanting to pick up Nintendo’s latest console up ahead of Christmas.
Surprise Switch 2 Cyber Monday Deal Today
Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle
29
At $449.99, the standalone MSRP for the Switch 2, Amazon and Walmart are effectively offering Mario Kart World at no additional cost, rather than the modest $30 bundle saving originally signposted.
To access the offer, shoppers must be signed in to a Walmart account, a requirement tied to the console’s high demand. Adding the bundle to the basket automatically applies the $50 reduction. If stock holds, buyers can choose home delivery or collect the console from a nearby Walmart store.
The deal will catch many off guard, including those of us who have spent months noting that Nintendo showed no inclination to cut prices this year. If anything, the company has hinted several times that its hardware could track Xbox and PlayStation by moving upward, not downward.
For now, this appears to be a limited, single day promotion, and stock is unlikely to last. It also lands at a curious moment, given that the Switch 2 recently cleared the 10 million unit mark, prompted Nintendo to lift its sales forecasts for the year, and continues to record the strongest console launch in the industry to date.
The Switch 2 has been among the most sought after products across Black Friday and Cyber sales, even in the absence of any meaningfully new discounts until now.
Nintendo’s Cyber Monday sale is now under way, with reductions on Switch 2 compatible memory cards taking centre stage. An official Switch 2 compatible 256GB microSD Express card is available for $39, a $20 cut for today only.
Other offers include a price drop on Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, which is due to receive a Switch 2 upgrade. Walmart has the game at $30 for the duration of the sale.
