I just left Gamestop. They are taking pre-orders on the pair of the Mario JoyCon right now. They also have SNES Classics in stock.
Wait, really? I could've sworn the case was in the EU bundle as well. Yeah, that's a bad deal.Not where I live. Here the bundle is without case, still only a download code, and more expensive than Switch plus Mario Odyssey physical. All prices from Amazon directly, not marketplace:
Neon Red/Blue: 315,11 + 58,99 = 374,10 (-2 for Prime members)
Odyssey bundle: 389,00 (not even -2 for Prime, to add insult to injury)
A terrible shame because this is the first edition where the JoyCons aren't either boring or an ugly odd mix.

Same here. No case and $11 more expensive than buying them separately. What a fucking joke. At least save me $10 or $20. Not ADD money to it.

Correct, Germany is the country. But what you said doesn't make my numbers any less true. Even with standard price the bundle would be more expensive, and giving you less value do to download code only.Nintendo Switch (grey): 329
Wonder why the Neon edition is 15 cheaper right now, but 330 still is the standard price (I'll just assume you're from Germany because all the prices line up).
Probably not undercutting the bundle because the new colors together with the Mario bundle allure will spike up the demand compared to the regular Switch SKU colors which have been in the market.

There is some sort of law in EU that sellers are free to put the price they want iirc.You can tell me all day that Nintendo doesn't make suggested retail prices, I won't agree. They set the standard prices, not Amazon. Maybe they do it differently than any other manufacturer, but they still do it.
You dont have to agree as long as you recognize that the 314 or whatever price for the Neon Switch is an Amazon.de discounted price (regular suggested price is 329), and so are perks such as Prime discounts. So the idea of the bundle being more expensive than the individual parts doesnt hold, from a Nintendo point of view. Its all on Amazon discounting specific older SKUs, and not this new one.You can tell me all day that Nintendo doesn't make suggested retail prices, I won't agree.

Of course, that's called street prices of hard-as long as you recognize that the 314 or whatever price for the Neon Switch is an Amazon.de discounted price (regular suggested price is 329)
Whereas I'm all in on that color.i really don't like that kind of Red on the joycons so went for the neon model instead.
So, I went to my local Target this morning to go hunting for the Grady Twins Funko Pops, and in their Nintendo display case they had like 8 of the Odyssey Switch Bundles already in there.
I was instantly confused because I was like, "Doesn't this come out like, next Friday?"
Didn't bother to ask if I could buy one.

WTF DUDE GO BUY THAT SHIT
Talk to a rep and they confirmed that even though it didnt have the receive it on release day on the page that it was elegible for release day deliveryJust a heads up for anyone who ordered on Amazon. When I first put in the pre-order, they only gave me FREE Standard Shipping even though I'm a Prime Member. I checked recently and they let me update my shipping speed to FREE 2-Day shipping.
I'm selling my code to a friend and I'm getting the physical version of Mario Odyssey. Both the game and the bundle are showing as "arriving on October 27th." So now that I've updated the bundle's shipping, it's apparently going to be a release-day delivery just like the game.
Here's to hoping that Amazon holds to that date. I'd love to get this thing next Friday.

Great! I'm just glad I covered the bases.Talk to a rep and they confirmed that even though it didnt have the receive it on release day on the page that it was elegible for release day delivery
Any idea of when nintendo is going to let us pre load this thing?
I'm selling my code to a friend and I'm getting the physical version of Mario Odyssey.
Wait, are we sure that Mario comes as a code? I guess if we could get some impressions from people who bought the Splatoon 2 bundle we could confirm this. I'd like to do the same as you are planning but I'm not sure if the game isn't just preinstalled.
If you're in NA,yes, it's a code. It literally says so on the packaging in the picture a couple posts above yours.
Edit - Oh wait, you're asking if it's a code vs. pre-installed on the system . My apologies! I should learn to read. I have no idea.
"This special bundle includes the Nintendo Switch console and Nintendo Switch dock in black, with red left and right Joy-Con controllers. It also includes a download code for the full Super Mario Odyssey game, a carrying case, and all the extras you need to get started."
Yeah, I wasn't asking if it came with the bundle at all, the question was whether it specifically came with a code that could be resold.
Thankfully I may have found an answer from Gamestop:
Amazon didn't specify this, so it was kind of unclear before but I think this confirms it. I don't see Gamestop lying about this or just assuming that it comes with a code without knowing for sure.
I'd be willing to sell the download code for $55 in the case that it does end up being a code (which I'm 90% sure of now but I'd obviously want to decide a bit closer to release).
Yeah, it's definitely a download code (or at least it was, in the case of the Splatoon 2 bundles). I remember watching some unboxing videos on Youtube where the uploader had to hide the code redemption card from the viewer during the unboxing.
Break the glass and run for all of us.
For an empty box?Break the glass and run for all of us.
Target breaking street date like a non brand shop 😁
Are they selling or just on display?
If they are selling.. please do not post any kind of proof! (Nintendo will probably blacklist that store)
Different regions have different bundles: US gets a download code, while I believe Australia and New Zealand get a physical box in their bundle.

Just sent this to a friend and she says they have it in the back but will be putting it out tomorrow morning. Going to try to get her to scan a regular bundle and give me this one instead, but have to wait until close to closing time tonight she said =D
