Nintendo and Capcom Team Up for Switch 2 Monster Hunter Wilds Bundle
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Nintendo and Capcom have revealed a Japan-exclusive Switch 2 Monster Hunter Wilds bundle launching on December 4, complete with a digital game voucher and online subscription.
Nintendo and Capcom are leaning hard into the upcoming holiday shopping window by revealing a brand new Switch 2 hardware bundle centered around Monster Hunter Wilds. Scheduled to launch on December 4, the bundle is currently available for reservations via the Japanese Nintendo Store for 61,980 yen, which translates to roughly $397. Players who pick up the package will get a Japanese language console, a digital game voucher, and a three month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online to get squad play started right out of the box.
While historical third party ports on Nintendo hardware have sometimes required some heavy optimization compromises, Capcom is ensuring the community gets hands on time early. Attendees at the Tokyo Game Show can test the hardware through September 21, and a broader public demo is slated for release closer to the December launch. Beyond the base game, Capcom confirmed that the upcoming Ascendance expansion will make its way to the platform in 2027, though exact parity with other current gen platforms is still unconfirmed.
This release sits alongside a busy autumn hardware calendar for Nintendo, which also includes a global release of a Zelda 40th anniversary collectible console planned for October 29 at $519.99. For players managing cross platform libraries and waiting for hardware upgrades, bundles like this offer a streamlined entry point into massive digital economies and cooperative ecosystems without needing to piece components together separately. As always, keeping an eye on performance benchmarks once the hardware hits the wild will be key for players deciding where to hunt.
