New $300 Switch Bundle Confirmed, Includes A Free Mario Game, Launches March 10
Ahead of Mario Day, Nintendo has revealed a new Nintendo Switch bundle that comes with red Joy-Con controllers and a hit Mario game for $300. After purchasing the bundle, you'll be be able to redeem a digital voucher for one of three Mario games for Switch: Super Mario Odyssey, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The bundle also comes with Super Mario Bros. Movie-themed stickers. You can purchase the new bundle starting March 10 at select retailers.
In case you're unfamiliar with the annual holiday, Mario Day is March 10 because you can stylize the date as MAR10. Over the years, Nintendo has embraced the festivities with new products, events, and deals on popular Nintendo products.
It's important to note that the Switch bundle comes with the standard console, not the Switch OLED. The inclusion of the Mario-red Joy-Con controllers is pretty cool, as these aren't sold separately. The red Joy-Con were previously included in a separate Mario-themed Switch that hasn't been available at MSRP for a while. Besides the red Joy-Con, the console matches the standard.
If you've been thinking about buying a Nintendo Switch, the new bundle will be a good way to go. Deals on Switch consoles are exceedingly rare, and Nintendo typically doesn't offer bundle deals outside of Black Friday. The official Black Friday bundle has always included Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, so now you have two more games to choose from with this bundle.
You can pair your new Switch console with some additional games by shopping Nintendo's official Mario Day deals at major retailers. Major retailers will have Switch exclusives for up to $20 off March 5-11. Here's the list of revealed games so far:
