Nintendo unveils upcoming 'Choose Your Game” Switch 2 bundle
Despite already retailing for a relatively high price, the current state of the video games industry
www.kitguru.netHere are the latest Nintendo Switch 2 bundle news and what’s included.
-
Nintendo announced a “Choose Your Game Bundle” for the Switch 2, launching in early June in North America. The bundle includes the Switch 2 console and a digital download code for one of three first-party games: Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia. The bundle is priced at $499.99, representing savings compared with buying a game separately, and is described as available for a limited time while supplies last.

Availability appears to be region-limited to the United States (at least initially), with many outlets noting a summer-only window and a forthcoming price increase later in 2026. The Switch 2 price in the U.S. is set to rise from $449.99 to $499.99 on September 1, 2026, which frames the bundle as a potential last chance to get a game with the console under $500.[2][1]
-
A related report notes that the bundle includes only a digital download code (not a physical game), which may matter for collectors or players who prefer physical copies. This format is consistent with the “download code” description from Nintendo’s official materials.[1]
-
There is regional variation in bundle offerings: some coverage highlights a Pokemon Pokopia bundle as particularly appealing in certain markets (e.g., Australia/NZ mentions in other coverage), but the U.S. version remains the primary confirmed launch in early June. If you’re outside North America, availability and game selections may differ.[3]
-
For context, multiple outlets are tracking this as part of Nintendo’s ongoing strategy to maintain momentum ahead of and during price adjustments, leveraging first-party titles to boost hardware adoption. Expect updates on regional availability and any extended or revised bundles as the summer unfolds.[2][1]

What this means for you in Valletta, Malta (and your broader region)
- If you’re hoping to buy in Europe, watch for regional announcements. The initial North American bundle often precedes broader rollouts, but Europe may get a separate offer or a similar program later in 2026.[2]
