Deals: Jump Into These Super Mario Odyssey Goodies from the Nintendo UK Store

Not buying it from Nintendo Store as they always loose my order and i don't want a cappy cap. Also only £41.99 from Amazon

I want to play it nooooooow

I wonder why is the US switch bundle includes the mario themed carrying case while the EU one doesn't ?

Remember, you get a digital code for Super Mario Odyssey not a physical cartridge with that Super Mario Odyssey Switch bundle. Nintendo forever squeezing pennies.

Edit: Plus you can buy the game from Amazon for £42 and the Switch on its own for £280(that's £322 total). So unless you badly want those red Joy-cons it actually costs you more to buy the SMO Switch bundle and like I said, it's a digital code of the game.

Very excited about SM Odyssey but the console bundle does nothing for me. Red joycons? Wooooo... If the dock/screen were coloured, or even branded à la Japan-only Monster Hunter set, then that might be a bit more exciting. As it is, meh. Game looks tops, though.

That Peach amiibo looks like she's received an unexpected visitor inside her dress...

Got those amiibo!

In the nintendo direct they said that you will get peach' wedding costume in game for her amiibo
Mario in wedding dress confirmed??

@Bunkerneath Yep, with a further £2 off pre-orders for Prime members.

@Toasternator First screenshot.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
You leave my wife out of this!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE you made good use of that new screenshot mode

That console bundle is poor value. You only get a download code for the game. You can buy console and game separately for the same price and get the cart and hat. (Or just buy them elsewhere much cheaper)

I love the red Odyssey Switch case. Looks so snazzy!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I don't think the picture is the case, it's a picture of the piece of paper that has the code on it! Still a crappy deal.

@chardir Oh ya, I think you're right. Better edit that.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE A higher Profit Margin for Nintendo is good news for Gamers -

yes I also notice that the console bundle is not discounted in anyway.....I thought that was the point of bundles and your not even getting the physical cartridge either.

@lemonjellydude The triple pack of amiibo is also 2p more expensive than buying them separately...

And the "Super Mario Odyssey + Cappy Hat amiibo Pack" is 3p more expensive than separate items! lol

@Bunkerneath

*lose your order.

I don't understand why people on the internet have such trouble with this word.

Just noticed that the UK/EU version of the Odyssey Switch bundle doesn't come with the carry case.

You'd think Nintendo would also give you at least £1 off buying the game and the amiibo together in the "bundle" they put up. When actually you pay 1p more than if you buy them separately. Weirdness.

@Franklin Because the english language is so full of wierd ways of spelling things (Yes, i spelt weird wrong on purpose)

Back on topic, and £20 for the carry case? When you get it for free in the US version? If it is like the normal "Switch Accessory Set" the case is not good, as the "Stand" is made of furry material which makes the switch heat up if used for too long.

This bundle is great like the rewards in my Nintendo

Lots of goodies for those that want them.

That console bundle will sell a ton, i remember when the Xbone launched and they gave you a fifa code instead of a boxed version. The whole code with console isnt a new thing , and just offers additional choice if your not fussed about a physical copy.

@Powerballad I bought an Xbox one with a digital copy of the Witcher III bundled, it was the same price as the console without included game, but this was maybe a year after release.

@NickOfTime90 Nice, I would have had your bundle over Fifa , i got the day one edition , and i will never be doing that again with a microsoft product.
I got W3 on ps4 , and you know what, i'd love a port of it to switch , a guy can dream.

Glad to see so many people voicing their displeasure with the bundle without being bum rushed about it. I still may get it b/c my kids and I have been waiting all year for it, but I'm really not happy about it. The game isn't even pre-instalked, you have to download it. That just sucks, the Switch doesn't even have an ethernet port in the dock. grrr

@Powerballad Yeah, wonderful game, It's a bummer i have it digital, maybe I'll buy it physical someday. What was wrong with your bundle?

@rjejr Is the internet in the US that bad? Or what is the issue?

Oh, bummer...
Nintendo Switch is still Black color.
Ah, don't worry.
I can order the White Shell Replacement and I will swap the Black back case with White one.
Problem solved.

Wow Mario console bundle saves you a whole -£10 (or £0 if you concede digital is more expensive). Thanks, Nintendo.

@MariOnline LOL You always make me laugh.

On topic, the bundle has a nice box and the joycons are bright red but no physical game included and you can get a Switch and a physical copy cheaper elsewhere.

I know the "Download code" words are clearly displayed but I can see parents and children disappointed this Christmas when they open the box.

@NickOfTime90 There's an Xbox One S offer that lets you even choose what game you want to download for free. This Switch bundle offers you probably the most desired Switch game but there's no discount which makes the bundle not a bundle. Except, well, the joycons are blinding red.

@NickOfTime90 No, the internet isn't that bad, it's just that it's easier with ethernet.

Ethernet - plug it in, download Mario fast and hassle free
W-Fi - go through the list of 2 dozen WiFi signals in my house for all the neighbors, find mine, try to remember my password, try to type in my password correctly, test the WiFi connection, hope it downloads ok

It's a huge dock, there's room for an Ethernet port. And they are selling it separetly for $90, for that price, it should have an Ethernet port. Easier. Faster. More reliable.

Or, they could just pre-install Mario in their $380 no-discount bundle. Really for full price it should include the full cart, look at how much money their saving on the cart & box alone, should have at least passed that on to the consumer, make it $374.99 instead of $379.99. Make it look like it's a real bundle, not a forced bundle from Walmart.

True, I get what you're saying. You do know that he Wii Ethernet adapter works? I use it myself for online gaming like ARMS and Splatoon 2. It does not excuse the lack of an ethernet port ofcourse.

It is weird indeed that they ship 3DSes with pre-installed software, but not on the switch.

@BlueOcean That's true, I was only saying that the Xbox bundles were true bundles later in the cycle in comparison to day one.

@NickOfTime90 Agreed its a masterpiece, nothing was wrong with the bundle, but i would have had W3 over fifa anyday.

I don't really understand the point of it when it's just bundling together things at RRP, especially when you can pick up all these things for less with minimal effort in terms of shopping around. Then again, don't really see the point in ANY bundles for the same reason, and it always baffles me why people think a bundle will encourage sales. The game will encourage sales for sure, the fact you can get the game and console in one box instead of two will not.

even though I already have splatoon 2, I am getting the splatoon bundle for my youngest son who wants his own switch. I like the joy con colors better and now we can play multiplayer together! I will grab the mario cartridge instead!

@NickOfTime90 Yes, I was agreeing with you. Sadly, sometimes it looks like if somebody replies to you he is reproaching something.

I never understood why Wii, Wii U and Switch (dock) don't have an Ethernet port.

@BlueOcean Sorry mate, you're right. Yeah I kind of understand the lack of ethernet port on the original wii. But on the Wii U there were so much online games in comparison. Maybe they had some leftover stock of the usb adapters;)

@NickOfTime90 Yeah, probably. USB 2.0 (the ones I think that Wii U and Switch's dock use) must be so cheap these days.

Have this pre ordered for my stepson for Christmas, a lot of people missing the point of the bundle on here but I'm sure a certain 11 year old boy will be more than happy come Christmas day

Aww, I wanted a white one... Boo.

What about the red joy cons on there own

Just my luck that the first acceptable-looking Joy-con set is locked behind a bundle. Are people actually going to buy a second Switch just for the red Joycons?

Is it really a deal if its at full price.

The hat isnt free - Ive seen odyssey for £41.48

@Bunkerneath £41.48 at GameSeek...

Not a BAD deal as such, as if you were going to get the game digital anyway, then the price all balances out; especially if you like the red Joy-Cons too, and, according to GAME's website, it DOES come with the carry case too.

Admittedly I would never buy it myself as I simply don't do digital (and I already have a Switch), but that's just me.
