Nintendo is currently offering a customizable bundle for its Switch 2 console, allowing consumers to select their preferred console SKU, digital game, and Nintendo Switch Online membership plan, with a free accessory valued at up to £49.99 included. This promotion provides flexibility for players to tailor their purchase.
The available console options are the standalone Nintendo Switch 2 system for £395.99 or a bundle that includes a digital copy of the game Pokémon Pokopia for £429.99. When opting for the latter, the digital version of Pokémon Pokopia is effectively added for £34, representing a saving of £24.99 compared to its usual £58.99 price. However, it is noted that the Switch 2 with Pokémon Pokopia bundle can be found for as low as £394.99 at Amazon UK, though Nintendo's offer provides significant value if the included components would have been purchased separately.
Players can choose from a selection of digital Switch 2 games, with prices ranging from £41.99 for titles like Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, Splatoon Raiders, and Star Fox, up to £66.99 for Mario Kart World. Even selecting the least expensive game from this list will still qualify for the free accessory offer.
The bundle also requires the selection of a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Options range from a 90-day Individual subscription at £6.99 to a 12-month Family subscription with NSO and the Expansion Pack for £59.99. For households or groups of friends, the Family Plan, priced at £31.49, can bring the annual cost down to approximately £3.93 per person for eight members. The £59.99 Expansion Pack version provides access to games from the GameCube, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, and Virtual Boy eras, reducing the per-person cost to around £7.49 annually for eight members.
The complimentary accessory can be chosen from a range of items including wired controllers, console cases, and the Piranha Plant camera. The most practical selections are the Samsung or SanDisk 256GB microSD Express Cards, each worth £49.99. These specific memory cards are necessary for the Switch 2, as its advanced technology requires faster loading speeds than standard SD cards can provide, making these the only compatible option for expanding the console's 256GB of Universal Flash Storage. For those anticipating playing numerous games, the free memory upgrade is a highly beneficial choice. Alternatively, more casual players might prefer themed Pokémon cases or controllers for local multiplayer experiences.
