Nintendo cuts Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle to $499.99

Nintendo has announced a Black Friday promotion that cuts the price of its U.S. Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle by $50 to $499.99. The offer runs November 22 through December 5 and includes the console, a digital download of Mario Kart World and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership.

The bundle’s announced price is down from $549.99. Nintendo says the promotion will be available through participating retailers while supplies last, as well as through its website and stores in New York and San Francisco. The discount applies to the bundle, not to the Switch 2 console sold on its own.

Nintendo is also planning discounts on selected physical games in the United States from November 22 through November 29. One reported list prices titles including Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 at $39.99. Another description says select games will be discounted by $20 from their standard suggested retail prices; that reduction corresponds to $39.99 for titles ordinarily priced at $59.99, but the sources do not establish that every eligible game has the same regular price.
