What's this? A console doing down in price? What madness is this?
Yes, in an apparent effort to shift its remaining stock in Europe, Nintendo is selling a Switch and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle for a discounted price of €199.99. It's due for release on 29th October 2026.
As a reminder, Nintendo is discontinuing the original Switch in Europe from February 2027, likely due to the new regulatory requirements regarding replaceable batteries. Essentially, rather than waste time (and money) revising a console that's nearly 10 years old, Nintendo has instead opted to stop selling it altogether in favour of the Switch 2.
تکایە ئاگاداربن هەندێک لە بەستەری دەرەکی لەم لاپەڕەیە بەستەری پەیوەندیدارن، واتە ئەگەر کلیکیان لەسەر بکەیت و کڕینێک بکەیت لەوانەیە ڕێژەیەکی کەم لە فرۆشتنەکە وەربگرین. تکایە بۆ زانیاری زیاتر ئاشکراکردنی FTCمان بخوێنەرەوە.
So with only a handful of months left until distribution ceases in Europe, Nintendo is doing its utmost to shift as many remaining consoles as possible. Yes, our headline regarding PS2 sales is partly in jest, but this latest effort could see Nintendo inch ever closer to that 160 million unit goal. Truth be told, the company probably won't care if it beats the PS2 either way, but we will. We will.
It's also worth noting that while Nintendo often opts to bundle digital copies of games with its hardware, this particular bundle appears to include a physical edition of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, so that should sweeten the deal even more.
So if you're still in the market for an original Switch and you happen to reside in Europe, this could be a pretty tempting offer.
