Nintendo preps for the holiday season with new Switch Mario Kart bundles
Nintendo is inviting gamers to get a jump on holiday shopping this year by releasing two special Nintendo Switch bundles this fall. The bundles, featuring the ever-popular Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, aim to offer added value for fans who want instant fun right out of the box. For the first time in the U.S., the Nintendo Switch – OLED Model: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle will be available alongside the standard Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle.
Each bundle comes with a digital download of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership, giving players access to online multiplayer, retro NES, SNES, and Game Boy titles, and more. Both bundles are set to hit online and retail stores in October, but consumers will need to act fast, as supplies are limited.
Nintendo’s Mario Red OLED Switch is the perfect prelude to Super Mario Bros. Wonder
If you're a Nintendo aficionado like me, then you're probably already buzzing from Nintendo's recent Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct video. The presentation gave us a deep dive into the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which hits stores on October 20. The game promises to rejuvenate the 2D Mario experience like never before. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Nintendo also dropped a major bombshell — a new Mario-themed Nintendo Switch OLED Model is joining the fray!
Before we dive into the new Switch model, let's take a moment to marvel at the game that's causing all this excitement. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first 2D side-scrolling Mario game in over a decade, folks! With new gameplay elements, power-ups, and something called "Wonder Flowers" that bring unexpected transformations to the table, this game is slated to redefine Mario as we know it. A new Flower Kingdom awaits exploration, and a roster of playable characters ensures that the fun will be varied and endless.
