💰 Nintendo announced a Black Friday Switch 2 bundle featuring Mario Kart World and 3 months of Nintendo Switch Online for $499.99
🥳 The bundle provides total savings of nearly $88 compared to purchasing the console, game, and subscription separately
🆚 It offers better value than the $519.99 Zelda 40th Anniversary edition, which does not include a game
📅 The deal runs from November 22 to November 29 with high stock availability expected
Everyone may have their eyes on the undeniably gorgeous Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2, but Nintendo has just announced a Black Friday deal that’s well worth considering.
Starting November 22, you can get a Nintendo Switch 2 with the excellent Mario Kart World for $499.99. It also comes with a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online, making for a total saving of $50.
Realistically, it’s much more than that. A Nintendo Switch 2 costs $499.99 without a game after it increased in price by $50 on September 1. Mario Kart World retails for $79.99, and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online is $7.99.
If you were to purchase everything separately, then, it’d cost $587.97 before any sales tax.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Black Friday deal delivers a lot more bang for your buck than the Zelda 40th Anniversary console. Yes, you’re giving up the gorgeous, intricate design that most Zelda fans won’t be able to ignore. But at $519.99 and with no game included or Nintendo Switch Online bonus – I know which one I’d go for.
The Black Friday Nintendo Switch 2 deal runs from November 22 to November 29, and unlike the Zelda Switch 2, plenty of stock should be available.
