At a Glance
- The $500 Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle saves buyers $30 versus separate purchases
- Nintendo confirms no restocks once current inventory sells out
- Bundle remains in stock at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Walmart, Newegg, Nintendo and Costco
- Why it matters: This is likely the only discount on Mario Kart World for the foreseeable future
Nintendo’s limited-run Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle is disappearing for good. Shoppers who want the $500 combo-which includes the $450 console and an $80 digital copy of Mario Kart World-need to move quickly before retail inventories dry up, according to News Of Losangeles‘s latest stock check.
Bundle Savings Vanishing Fast
The bundle shaves $30 off the combined retail price, but Nintendo has told retailers the allotment is final. “It was recently confirmed that there won’t be any more restocks,” Amanda S. Bennett reported. “Once it’s sold out at Nintendo and all other retailers, it’s gone for good.”
Standalone console supply has stabilized since the June launch, yet the Pokémon Legends: Z-A bundle is already sold out at every major outlet and is not expected to return.
Where to Grab the Mario Kart Bundle Today
US shoppers can still secure the bundle at the following stores:
- Amazon – in stock, ships immediately
- Best Buy – in stock online, same-day pickup in many stores
- GameStop – in stock online; check local stores for possible Pokémon bundle leftovers
- Target – available online and in select locations
- Walmart – sold and shipped by Walmart; avoid third-party listings
- Newegg – in stock, less traffic than big-box rivals
- Nintendo – no invitation required; order direct
- Costco – members-only bundle adds 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack
- Staples – extremely limited in-store quantities, one per customer
UK buyers can find both the standalone console and the Mario Kart bundle at Amazon UK, Nintendo UK, ShopTo, Very, Smyths, EE and Game without needing an invitation. The Pokémon bundle is sold out nationwide.

Mixed Reactions to New Console
Early adopters are split. Some praise Nintendo for preserving the original Switch form factor, while others balk at the $150 price jump. “It feels a lot like an updated version of a system many people already own,” said News Of Losangeles gaming reviewer Scott Stein. Confirmation that US tariffs will not trigger further price hikes has eased concerns, yet gamers continue to debate whether select $80-90 titles justify the premium.
