Nintendo Switch 2 Bundle Gets $20 Discount with Super Mario Galaxy Games

Nintendo is rolling out a limited-time promotion for the Switch 2, giving buyers a small but timely discount amid ongoing concerns about pricing and supply. The new offer bundles the console with two classic Mario titles, making it one of the first notable deals for the platform.

Limited-time bundle offer across major retailers

The promotion runs from April 12 through May 9, offering a $20 discount when buying a Nintendo Switch 2 alongside Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. The bundle applies to both physical and digital versions, which is notable as Nintendo has recently introduced separate pricing for digital and physical games.

Major retailers are participating in the promotion, including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop, making the offer widely accessible across the US market.

Free update brings 4K and new gameplay features

Alongside the promotion, Nintendo has released a free update for Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel on Switch 2. The update brings several technical and gameplay improvements, including support for 4K resolution and a refined user interface. Players will also find additional Storybook Chapters and a new Assist Mode designed to make gameplay more accessible.

Control enhancements are also part of the update. The new Joy-Con 2 mouse functionality allows a second player to interact in a more dynamic way, adding a fresh cooperative element to the experience.

The timing of this promotion is notable. Reports suggest Nintendo has faced slower-than-expected Switch 2 sales in the US, leading to a reported 30% reduction in production. At the same time, a former Nintendo executive has hinted that prices for the console could increase in the future.

With uncertainty around pricing and availability, this limited-time bundle may be one of the better opportunities for early adopters to jump into the Switch 2 ecosystem.
