Nintendo has introduced new Switch bundles as the seven-year-old console prepares for the upcoming Switch 2 launch. Both the standard Switch and the OLED model are now available in bundles announced in September. Each system comes with redemption codes for a 12-month Switch Online membership and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, with the standard bundle priced at $300 and the OLED variant at $350. The OLED console offers a larger 7-inch display and white Joy-Cons compared to the standard model’s 6.2-inch LCD and red and blue Joy-Cons, providing richer colors and deeper blacks for an additional $50. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a popular game since its launch in 2017, comes included in the bundles, offering enhanced gameplay on the console’s screen. Switch Online allows for online play and access to a variety of classic games, while rumors of the Switch 2’s imminent release loom in the background, promising more powerful specs. Despite the potential for a new console, the Switch bundles remain a solid choice for gaming enthusiasts this holiday season.
