Amazon Launches $449.99 Nintendo Switch 2 Bundle Ahead of Planned Price Hike

Amazon is offering a “Choose Your Game” bundle for the Nintendo Switch 2 at a checkout price of $449.99, down from the standard $499.00 list price. Buyers select one of three digital titles—Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia—to receive with the console. The promotion is presented as a limited-time markdown before the console’s price is set to rise later in the year.
