Amazon's Prime Day sale is featuring a notable deal on the popular title Pokémon Pokopia. The only way to acquire the game at a discount is through a Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle, which includes a digital download of Pokémon Pokopia for $49.99. This represents a $20 saving on the game itself.
Other digital game options available in the bundle include Mario Kart World or Donkey Kong Bananza. The bundle is priced at $499.99. This deal could be one of the last chances to secure savings on the Nintendo Switch 2 before its price increases by $50 in September, after which it will retail for $499.99 without any bundled games.
Pokémon Pokopia, released in March, achieved significant commercial success, selling over 2.2 million copies during its opening weekend. The game casts players as a Ditto Pokémon tasked with rebuilding the Kanto region, which has been devastated. The narrative sees Ditto, accompanied by a Tangrowth disguised as a professor, working to restore the region and uncover its secrets.
Rebekah Valentine's review of Pokémon Pokopia awarded it a 9/10, describing it as "a real treat: an enjoyable building and town simulator that capitalizes on the charming personalities of its monsters in a way that appeals to both the creative and collector alike.”
The Nintendo Switch 2 itself offers substantial upgrades over its predecessor, including a 7.9-inch 1080p display and enhanced performance capabilities, enabling it to run demanding titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Star Wars Outlaws. Further details on the console can be found in the full review.
Additional Nintendo Switch 2 deals are available during Prime Day, including a lightning deal on Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which is currently at its lowest price. Pokémon Legends: Z-A received an 8 out of 10 rating in IGN's review upon its release last year.
