Switch 2: Where to Preorder

Once you’re ready to make a purchase, you’ll find two main options available: the standard Nintendo Switch 2 ($449.99), or the Nintendo Switch 2: Mario Kart World bundle ($499.99). Let us know in the comments if you successfully secure your unit.

Which one should you choose? If you're planning to buy a Switch 2 at launch, the Mario Kart World Bundle is clearly the better deal. For just $50 more than the base model, you get Mario Kart World—a title that would otherwise retail for $79.99 separately—effectively saving $30 overall.
