Following rumours about some new Switch bundles, Nintendo Australia has lifted the lid on a brand new bundle featuring a Switch OLED model and a copy of Super Mario Bros Wonder.
This bundle is set to release in this region next month on 24th October 2024. The Switch OLED is the 'white set' and the copy of Super Mario Bros. Wonder comes pre-installed on the system. This package also includes a 12 month Switch Online base tier membership.
Reports about a Mario Wonder OLED bundle originally surfaced last week, with the same source claiming multiple other bundles are on the way to Europe very soon. If we hear any updates in other locations about this bundle (including the price), or news about any of the other rumoured bundles, we'll be sure to let you know.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder was originally released on the Switch in October 2023. In our review here on Nintendo Life, we gave the game a "wonderful" nine out of ten stars, calling it the best 2D Mario game since Super Mario World.

Gonna make a lot of folks happy this holiday season.
A perfect combo. Wonder is an amazing game, and I hope this package sells…ahem…wonderfully.
I have been wondering. 😉
Will it cost $700? 🤣🤣🤣
And you get 12 months of online free that's a steal tbh
And you can get two of them instead of a PS5 Pro!
A perfect holiday season bundle! Now if they'd just give the Mario-themed bundles red joy-cons....
@Tasuki Hopefully not, but if it does at least it has the stand and the disc drive. Or in this case the dock and card slot.
Really makes you wonder what other rumours will turn out to be true 👀
Wonder was so good. I'm kind of surprised we didn't get another 3D Mario game, but maybe it could be for the launch of the next console.
The bundle looks cute with White Joy Cons, but I'm waiting for next Switch machine for playing another ACNH as the 2nd island and I can pair with ACNH on my old Switch for items exchanging.
It's always exciting when products that are already readily available are made more readily available!!!
EDIT: Substituted full stop of indifference for exclamation points of excitement!!!
Stop pimping your old asf console when you’re releasing a new one sometime in the next 6-15 months.
Great bundle great deal.
Hang on, does it come with a cartridge slot or do we have to buy that as a separate add on.
Imagine how many Switch's they would sell if they a themed Mario Kart 8 special edition console that included MK8 Deluxe and Booster Course Pass
If I were a kid and would get this for X-mas, I'd probably be as happy as I was when I got a SNES with Super Mario All-Stars back in the day.
Big N is desperately trying to boost sales while everyone is only waiting for the Switch 2. Not many will keep buying the old one.
For a second when reading the headline, I thought it was about the next gen Nintendo console.
Any word on pricing? Curious how this compares to their other OLED bundles...
For anyone still on the fence, that's certainly a strong selling point. Great console + great game, and you know just how huge the available library is. Now turning on that brand new Switch with the game ready to be played, that's something!
I’d highly recommend people to go in on this bundle, if they’re choosing between this or waiting for the Switch successor. Consoles are rarely worth their price at launch, even with a good lineup and the Switch as it is has excellent games, Mario Wonder being one of the best. I’ve beaten the game to completion twice already, once with a friend and another on my own with the little online components. Both were really fun times.
@OldGamer999
Don't forget the stand.
Where is the lollipop chainsaw review? Is Nintendo life following IGNs boycott?
Love to see it officially confirmed for those interested in getting this, especially considering it includes the wonderful (if Nintendo Life make that pun nobody can stop me from doing the same) Wonder!
Wish the console was more interesting and the game was physical and the price was lower. This seems lazy.
I was thinking that nobody bought these anymore, but judging by the comments I guess I’m wrong 🤷♂️
Good game, and with the content you get via NSO, more content than most of us mortals can get through in a year.
Putting all of that info out there without the price makes me think the price isn't going to be very good. Not that I would have any clue if the price was good or not seeing it in Australian but the people buying it would.
Surprised this entire article / announcement didn't mention price. How much is it?
This bundle alone, will kick the bottom of the PS5 PROblems.
@veesonic it is NOT $700.
Ladies and gentleman I present to you ... the long-awaited Switch 2!!
Gotta unload all that stock to make room for the new machine. Good way to do it, too, as I love my OLED and play Wonder daily.
Lame how it's just the standard white, no special joycons or anything.
@SillyG I love exclamation points of excitement too!! Do you like question marks of curiosity??
@Moistnado NintendoLife is owned by IGN IIRC so that may be the case.
@Ulysses : I'm more of a question marks of interrogation man myself.
With switch 2 announcement imminent this news really is rather pointless. Wonder is the weakest mario game in a long time
Guess they're really trying to give the Switch that last holiday push.
Probably will be $700AUD, that around £350
White joy-con? There's only one thing in the world more boring than that and it's grey joy-con.
I honestly though they would go with 50 bucks less for the price cut compared to what they went for. I mean good if they think they can get away with it but damn have we been waiting for a proper price cut for that thing! And it's still not there.
I mean I still rock my OG day one switch and at this point I'll wait for the next one but yeah I'm curious to see how this is going to work for them.
Wonder looks beautiful on the OLED screen, surprising they took so long to bundle them together
Clever. They KNOW people will pay full price for Mario Kart 8 on the side.
....and then a month later they announce the Switch 2. lol.
@macaron35 I don't think a holiday bundle with most likely no price drop smacks desperation to sell them tbh.
