Nintendo of Europe has announced a new Switch bundle which comes with a download code for eShop credit to the tune of £30 or €35.
Available for a non-specific 'limited time', you'll be able to pick up a brand new console with Neon Red and Blue Joy-Con (or the grey ones if you prefer your on-the-go gaming to be discrete) at participating retailers and fill it up immediately with indie hits from the eShop.
A quick look on the interwebs shows the bundles available for £279.99 from all the usual places - keep a look out for the label in the corner to make sure you're getting the credit. We've collected some examples of the base bundle below, but there are other packs available with physical games and goodies.

How does this deal strike you? We like the idea of waiting for one of the frequent eShop sales and picking up half a dozen indie gems with a new console. Let us know if you'd be tempted with eShop credit in the usual place.

Quite a deal. 🙂
But the body color is still Black color.....
If only there will be Pure White bundle...
Europe? Looks more like UK only.
This deal is ok, but not a real dealbreaker
I'm hoping the deals mean the Switch Pro isn't too far away - before the end of the year.
@Ventilator It's also here in the Netherlands.. so yeah. Europe.
@Judgedean Don't count on it. With the PS5 and XBOX "Project Scarlett" releasing next year.
Not bad if you're on the lookout for a Switch, especially if you find a bundle for roughly the same price with some physical extras too
@Anti-Matter It's not even black, it's dark grey.
I hope they will offer a better range of colours if they ever release a switch upgrade. I'd like to have black and white joy cons. Maybe even have other colours for the tablet part
Not a bad bundle overall. We had something like this in the US for a limited time earlier this year. (Switch + $35 eShop card)
Would be nice if they were giving out Switches on top of their $35 cards...
think this is a great deal, especially as you could grab a few games for that price as theres always a sale on!
@sanderev I think 2020 for the Switch Pro and 2024 for the Switch 2 (with same performance as the PS4, XB1). Remember, you've heard it here first!
@Judgedean A Switch Pro would be comparable to the base model of the XBOX ONE.
The Switch 2 (which would be completely new console) would be comparable to the Pro / X series of the XBOX ONE and PS4. And I think it will launch in 2022.
Correction PS4.
I actually think the Switch 2 will be more like the Wii U but inverse, with a dock that you can stream to from the handheld device. Even allowing two screen mode in supporting games. (But also allowing handheld only / tv only play) This is only based on what I think Nintendo would do, not based on any actual facts or rumors.
@sanderev I would love the Switch Pro to match the XB1 but I really just think it will be a slight boost over what we have atm. Time will tell.
@sanderev where did you vind the deal? I'm pretty interested
@Judgedean The Switch currently has 0.7 TF, the XBOX ONE has 1.3TF. The Tegra X has about 1.3 TF. So yeah, the Switch Pro will be more like the XBOX ONE.
Though the Switch does need faster RAM to make it better. And the XBOX ONE has more. Most Switch compatibility problems are RAM related. More RAM would allow bigger textures, faster RAM would allow faster loading and higher FPS.
@garfreek Nedgame.nl en GameMania.
@sanderev There is not much of a discount as the Switch price recently dropped at all major retailers.
Switch including coupon costs more than without.
I bought the US bundle back in March and I'm quite happy with it. After three months of excessive play, neither Joy Con has yet to present any problems, and I have no interest in the supposed Switch Mini as I primarily play docked.
@sanderev I think its huge cpu and memory bandwidth shortfalls are a much bigger issue compared with the other consoles, some of which a pro would help with. The problem for Nintendo is that by the time any Pro version comes, the next generation of consoles will be here or very close and that gap may be insurmountable. What we really need is for third parties to design games specifically for the Switch in the first place
@sanderev logisch eigenlijk! Bedankt!!
It's a good deal but I won't buy it.
eBay UK has a 20% off code until the end of today 27th June, one of the included sellers is the official AO eBay store which has Grey Switch console £279 = £223.20 with code. They also have Neon Switch with Crash Team Racing or Minecraft for £299 = £239.20 with code.
Very has this deal too. They've also recently added the official adapter for £19.99.
