Topic: Nintendo Announces Post-Price Increase Switch 2 Bundles

You know, at some point it'd be nice to write about a price DECREASE.

Alongside a reminder of the Switch 2's price increase next week came a pair of bundle offers for the North American markets.

Nintendo of America has announced two Switch 2 and game bundles to come following the Sept 1 raise of the Switch 2's base retail price to US$499.99. The first will be the return of the Mario Kart World bundle (including three months of individual Nintendo Switch Online membership) in "late September", possibly tied to the Sept 17 launch of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, at a MSRP of $549.99 (also up $50). This will likely replace the current "pick a game" bundle.

The other bundle will come on October 22 and will include Nintendo Switch Sports Resort and the three month NSO at a MSRP of $529.99. As with Mario Kart, the copy of Switch Sports Resort will be a digital code included in the box.

Eh, I'm not really excited about the pack-ins.  I was hoping they would stick with a Pokopia bundle.  I'd be fine with the existing "pick-a-game" bundle but with a price increase.  Not that I was going to get a Switch 2 any time soon but now I would wait for a different bundle.
