Nintendo announced a new package on May 12, 2026: the Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle, which is immediately catching gamers’ attention. The bundle includes the Switch 2 console, dock, Joy-Con 2 controllers, and the necessary components to connect the console to a TV. It is available to pre-order for $500 and launches on June 7, 2026.

Bundle contents

The Choose Your Game Bundle includes the following items:

• Nintendo Switch 2 console

• Console dock

• Joy-Con 2 controllers

• Components for TV connection

• Digital game code for one of three titles

The bundle includes a digital code that lets players choose one of the following three games: Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokemon Pokopia. The individual retail prices for these games are $80 for Mario Kart World and $70 for both Donkey Kong Bananza and Pokemon Pokopia. That means customers can save at least $20-$30 by buying the bundle.

Game info and reviews

All three games available in the bundle have received strong reviews from critics, each scoring 9/10. Here’s a quick look at the data footprint of each game:

• Mario Kart World: 22 GB

• Donkey Kong Bananza: 9 GB

• Pokemon Pokopia: 6.2 GB

Players will need to download the full game on Switch 2 before they can start playing. It’s worth noting that the download may take some time depending on the file size and internet speed. Fortunately, the Switch 2 comes with 256 GB of internal storage, which is enough to download and install any of the included games, and storage can be expanded further with a microSD Express card.

Retail info and availability

The Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle is now available to pre-order at several retailers, including Best Buy, GameStop, and Nintendo’s official website. For gamers looking to move quickly, it’s worth noting that the current price of the Switch 2 is $450, and it’s also possible to buy the console on its own if you’re not interested in the bundled games.

It’s also worth noting that the offer is valid until September 1, 2026, after which the console price will likely increase. So if you’re planning to pick up the bundle or the console separately, now is a good time to do it.

With this bundle, Nintendo is hoping to attract gamers by offering not just the console, but also a choice of a popular game. With the popular titles included in the package, it will be interesting to see how the offer is received.
