This $50-Off Cyber Monday Offer on the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle Is Actually a Good Deal

The Nintendo Switch 2 is one of the most popular handheld gaming consoles, and it continues to sell out rapidly after its launch earlier this year. Bundles are a great way to get a game thrown in for free. Better yet, I’ve found a Cyber Monday deal that reduces the price of one of the best Switch 2 bundles.

Walmart is selling the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle for $449 this Cyber Monday — a $50 discount from the regular $499 price. Note that you’ll only see that lower price once you add the bundle to your cart. It’s a $50 savings on the standard cost, making it one of the better Switch 2 deals I’ve seen so far.

This bundle includes the Nintendo Switch 2 console along with a full game download of Mario Kart World, the newest entry in Nintendo’s long-running and wildly popular kart racing series. With the Switch 2’s improvements, Mario Kart World takes advantage of the higher resolution, smoother frame rates and more detailed tracks than we’ve seen in past games.

CNET’s Scott Stein reviewed the Switch 2 and gave it 8.5 out of 10, noting that the new console has a great design, display and notably better graphics than competitors, like the Steam Deck. The Switch 2 is an excellent overall upgrade and earned an Editors’ Choice award from our team. It is worth noting, however, that, in his tests, the battery lasted a mere 2 hours before dying out. He points out that storage will need upgrades as well, given that newer games are larger in size.

Why this deal matters

A $50 discount on a brand-new console bundle is rare, especially this early in the Switch 2’s life cycle. Since Mario Kart World is a $70 title on its own, getting both the game and the console for $449 is excellent value. If you’ve been waiting for a meaningful price break on the Switch 2, this is one of the best opportunities so far.
