The Nintendo Switch 2 got its first-ever discount during Cyber Monday

The Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale for the first time at Walmart.

Plenty of Nintendo Switch games and Switch 2 accessories have gone on sale for Cyber Monday, but we didn’t expect Walmart to offer the Mario Kart World bundle of the new console for $449.99 ($50 off). The game costs $79.99 on its own, and Nintendo’s limited-time bundle already saves you $30 compared to buying the console and game separately. Walmart’s discount effectively gets you the game for free while shaving a few bucks off the system’s price as well.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has a 7.9-inch LCD display, magnetically attached Joy-Con 2 controllers, backwards compatibility with most original Switch games, and exclusive titles including Donkey Kong Bananza and Kirby Air Riders. Read our review.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the long-awaited follow-up to the popular original Switch, and it’s a welcome evolution rather than revolution. It has a 7.9-inch 1080p LCD screen, and includes a pair of magnetically attached Joy-Con 2 controllers, not to mention speedier chips and memory inside. It can play most original Nintendo Switch games, so you can port your digital or physical library without much fuss.

The system’s library is comprised of a growing number of exclusive titles, including Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, and Kirby Air Riders. It also supports enhanced versions of original Nintendo Switch games, including Kirby and the Forgotten Land Plus Star Crossed World, and plenty of games being released for the original Switch. The Cyber Monday deal is especially notable since the next big Switch and Switch 2 game, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, comes out this week. Read our review.
