Mario Kart World Switch 2 Bundle Will Be Discontinued This Fall

Nintendo hasn't revealed an exact date, but it doesn't sound like the Switch 2's launch bundle will be on store shelves this holiday

The Mario Kart bundle will likely be the preferred choice for many shoppers in the coming months. Not just because it comes with the first open world Mario Kart game, but because you're getting a deal by purchasing the console in a bundle. While it's still possible these numbers could change due to the ongoing tariff saga, the bundle's $500 price is $30 less than the combined cost of the console ($450) and Mario Kart World ($80).

Outside of reconfirming the limited availability for the bundle, Nintendo's 15-minute Mario Kart World livestream stayed clear of the Switch 2 console itself. We still don't know when console preorders will be available in the US and Canada, but Nintendo unveiled several exciting details about Mario Kart World, including the return of Battle Mode and an in-depth look at the new costume and meal systems.

Mario Kart World launches exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, the same day as the console.
