Catch the First Big Nintendo Switch 2 Discount With This Mario Galaxy Bundle
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A twenty dollar discount is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 hardware bundles featuring Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel at major retailers starting in April.
Hardware discounts on new consoles are rarely seen in their first year on the market, but major retailers are rolling out a pleasant surprise for anyone still waiting to jump into Nintendo's latest generation. Starting April 12 and running through May 9, major storefronts including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart are offering a twenty dollar discount on a new Nintendo Switch 2 bundle. The package includes the system alongside both physical and digital copies of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, giving players a chance to experience two of the platformer genre's greatest triumphs with updated hardware performance.
While Nintendo skipped dropping a brand new mainline Mario game alongside the recent theatrical release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, this bundle serves as an ideal entry point for anyone caught up in the current wave of Mushroom Kingdom nostalgia. It also highlights a welcome pricing choice, offering genuine parity between physical and digital formats in a landscape where players are increasingly forced to weigh the pros and cons of digital ownership versus shelf space.
This discount arrives during what is shaping up to be a packed debut year for the Switch 2, following heavy hitters like Pokémon Pokopia and with titles like Tomodachi Life Living the Dream just around the corner. For players managing cross-platform setups who have been holding off on buying Nintendo's upgraded hardware, saving a bit of cash while picking up two timeless platformers makes this one of the first truly worthwhile console deals of the year.
