Two of Nintendo’s 2024 holiday console bundles are available to purchase a bit earlier than expected. If you’re looking to pick up a Nintendo Switch this fall, you can get Mario Kart Switch OLED and regular Switch bundles at multiple major retailers. The standard Switch has been bundled with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the holidays for several years in a row, but this is the first time you can get the bundle with the better Switch OLED hardware.
Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle
$350
The Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart bundle comes with the console with white Joy-Cons and matching white docking station, 12 months of Switch Online, and a voucher to claim Mario Kart 8 Deluxe from the Nintendo eShop. You’re getting $80 worth of additional content compared to buying the console ($350), Mario Kart ($60), and Switch Online ($20) individually.
Along with the sharp, larger OLED screen, you’re getting numerous quality-of-life upgrades compared to the base model. The Switch OLED has a wider, better-designed dock with an ethernet port, improved speakers, and double the internal storage space (64GB). Plus, the built-in kickstand is significantly improved for tabletop mode.
Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle
$300
There’s also a $300 version of this bundle that includes the base model Switch, but the OLED version is well worth paying $50 extra for, as the more-advanced screen makes a huge difference when you’re playing in handheld mode.
