Rumour: Multiple New Switch Bundles Are Apparently On The Way

Mario Wonder bundle? I hope the colors are as gorgeous as those in the game.

How come Wii Sports 3 is pre-installed on its bundle, but Super Mario 20 you have to connect and download from the eShop?

I get that Wii Sports' target demo isn't exactly... Fully cognizant of how the Internet works (and that their ignorance is what keeps physical media alive in general and I a thank them for that) so you would HAVE to remove as many barriers to enter as possible, but leaving them their for Mario just seems petty.

@Zeebor15 One of my theories on a possible reason for that is that while the Switch Sports deal may get purchased by new users, a lot of the Switch OLED audience is existing Switch owners upgrading.

The existing Switch owners may already have Super Mario Bros Wonder in which case reselling the code becomes an option.

@kevinm360 you can do that?

@Zeebor15 yeah, when its a code in the box, you can sell it on a website such as eBay instead of redeeming it and recoup some of that money from buying the bundle.

SPOILERS one of the bundles will include Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as it always does every year

@Zeebor15 : *Wii Sports 4

I suspect that you'd forgotten about Wii Sports Club on Wii U.

Well holiday season is on the way.

Nintendo is been agressive to surpass it 13.4 milions consoles forecast

I'm interested in the content unknown bundle. Could be Mario Kart, the new Zelda, fish heads. Love a good mystery.

@Lightsiyd Easily one of the most beautiful games I've ever played.

Embarrassing. Longest console cycle since the 1970s. People were crying out for the switch 2 four years ago

People crazy, buying more switches when the sequel coming.

@Craigsouthern no one was crying out for the switch 2 when the switch 1 was three years old bro. You’d rather they release a $700 upgrade like Sony? 😝

@Lightsiyd its just a bundle with no special colours white oled with the game

@Craigsouthern I’m sure Nintendo are hugely embarrassed by the numbers Switch continues to push week after week…

@jesse_dylan they were

Yeah there will be 100% no Switch 2 announcement before Christmas. They will try to push the Switch sales with bundles for the rest of the year and then reveal the Switch 2 in 2025.

Time to shift that stock before the new console!

@Craigsouthern I think you are basing too much on gaming site opinion that is probably the significant minority of Switch owners.

If anything with the caveat above in mind, my observation is that the community is fairly split. Keen for the next generation but not necessarily overwhelmingly desperate.

The sports pack isn't new, it's listed on the Nintendo store (albeit sold out)

@Cable Blasphemy!!

@Jiggies Cheers to that!!

The UK have their own currency. They don't use euros or dollars.

At least one of the Switch Lite bundles is likely with Animal Crossing like last year. There they had two different colored bundles with the game.

Armchair analysts: Nintendo is going to announce the Switch 2 as soon as next week!

Nintendo: we’re pleased to announce the Switch 2good2btrue bundles in time for the holidays.

@SillyG That's what I normally say, but people have been correcting me and saying Club doesn't count cause it's a remake of 1 that just add Online. Plus, I didn't want to get "but what about" on all the Mario remakes in my count.

Trying to sell off the backlog before the release of the new console? Fair enough.

@Zeebor15 : Then I'd say they're wrong on that count. Club is perhaps a derivative sequel, but it's still a sequel. It may not have fundamentally shaken things up, but it did give us (as you've already pointed out) online play and Wii MotionPlus controls.

@SillyG Nintendo numbering convention is something that causes bloody jihad amongst the various sicophants all the time. Mainly with Tomodachi and Fire Emblem

I thought they would lower the prices a bit more I must admit.

I'm not upgrading to an oled model now but if as some rumours have said, the next console gives us different versions with a normal and an oled version right away, then I will probably get the oled model from the get go this time.

They got nothing to lose!
This is most likely the system's last holiday season as Nintendo's flagship, so they better sell as many as they possibly can, to keep the system alive and healthy during the early life of the next one.

Nintendo: We have a new console coming, what do we do with the old one?
Nintendo: Sell it with something!
Nintendo: Like a special edition?
Nintendo: Yes but actually no.

@mlt OLED is a real treat to the eyes.

@Giancarlothomaz
I think to call it aggressive would need bigger price drops.

I have 1 switch for me and 4 kids. We take turns. If they put Switch (even the original) at $200-$225 we would buy 4 more. But it's still the original $300 so we're waiting to see about Switch 2. Mario Wonder (which we already have) isn't enough to change that.

@zool good for you and/or the UK!

Switch 2 rumors for it being announced before the holiday are hilarious. Also people act like Nintendo is bound by law to announce the new hardware in the time frame they gave. It wouldn't be great for their reputation but also nothing is stopping them from delaying.
