Nintendo of Europe has announced plans to launch a new Switch OLED console bundle that comes with the platform’s best-selling game.
Partially confirming an earlier leak which claimed the bundle would launch in Europe and the US, with an RRP of €349 in the former, Nintendo unveiled the bundle on Tuesday.
While it will come in specially designed packaging, the bundle will include a standard Switch OLED console (neon red/neon blue) rather than a special edition one.
It will also come with a download code for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
Nintendo of Europe said it will be available at selected retailers from November 20.
