You can select one of three games to redeem

Make every day a #MAR10Day with a Nintendo Switch system bundle that includes Red Joy-Con controllers and your choice of a free Mario full game download! This bundle will be available starting 3/10 at My Nintendo Store and select retailers:

 

[Damigos]

CHOOSE one? ffs

 

[RainblowDash]

Not a bad deal. MK8 would be the best choice if you’re looking for the most content.

 

[Physiognomonics]

Same price? Oh it's not the OLED. Do they need a little deal now to sell those?

 

[Mr Hyde]

Not the OLED and only one game?

 

[EverydayBeast]

Bundles work out for game companies.

 

[German Hops]

 

[ADiTAR]

I would like to see the sticker sheet. It's a good deal.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

ONE! Is this meant to be some kind of deal?

 

[nightmare-slain]

Eww who still buys the old model with those huge ass ugly bezels?

 

[cireza]

Time to clear the remaining stock ?

 

[Punished Miku]

Time to clear the remaining stock ?

Movie coming up too. It's not like it's a bad idea.

 

[Dick Jones]

Text on the game voucher in the box:
valid until 10 March 2023.

 

[Deerock71]

I suspect there will be bundles and a price cut that will be properly advertised. The Switch is finally facing headwinds against the current gen systems on it's march to 160 million. This is just the first card being played.

 

[Interfectum]

Choose one and non-OLED?

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Choose one and non-OLED?

Yes. It's $299.99. Which is the same price as the standard Switch. If it was the OLED, plus a bundled game, it'd be $349.99 at least, probably $379.

 

[German Hops]

Time to clear the remaining stock ?

Yeah, they're clearing stock in order to make way for the Switch 2.

Sorry, Mozza , it doesn't look like the Switch will break the PS2's sales record.

 

[remember_spinal]

Taken advantage of the mario movie hype

 

[Business]

CHOOSE one? ffs

It's Nintendo, they limit the amount of time you can play a demo if they can.

 

[SJRB]

Lmao, never change Nintendo.

 

[Robb]

I thought you’d get all three, now that would be a cool bundle to have alongside the Mario movie.

Choose one is kind of lame.

 

[Saber]

One? Why not 3? Would be a better deal.

Also btw, doesn't look like they want to announce a new console in the meantime.

 

[ahtlas7]

Can’t you just move on to Switch Next ?

 

[nightmare-slain]

The question is what game would you pick?

I'd pick Mario Odyssey.

SMBUD was alright but nothing special. Just the usual traditional Mario shit.

Mario Kart I suppose is fun if you have friends to play with. I don't and tried online but it sucked.

 

[dotnotbot]

Instead of giving choice they should put them on a wheel of fortune and let us spin

 

[Thaedolus]

Goddamn, I didn't realize the OG Switch was still $300 after six years. I can't think of any other hardware that held its price so long without some kind of major revision, must be a testament to its popularity.

 

[X-Wing]

One of two re-releases of Wii U games or a game from 2017 ... Thank you Nintendo for your high generosity.

 

[jshackles]

I originally read the title as "New Nintendo Switch Announced" and got excited.

 

[X-Wing]

The sticker sheets make this deal worthwhile.

 

[SmokedMeat]

An actual free game in a console bundle? It’s like going back in time to the way things used to be.

*actual as in ethereal digital copy

So, not quite.

 

[Knightime_X]

At this point, those 3 games should be free with the console.
Goddamn, nintendo is greedy.

 

[Zannegan]

They're STILL not bundling the OLED? I hope they're not still manufacturing standard Switches at this point and are just trying to burn through old stock. Transition to OLED only, announce the OLED Lite for this holiday, then set us all up to move on to next gen, please.

I do like the idea of "pick one" bundles though. If it's going to be a digital copy, why not?

 

[Captain Toad]

Not the OLED and only one game?

And they're also putting all those games on sale the same day anyway.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

CHOOSE one? ffs

Totally agree.

Apparently in Europe you don't get the choice as you are given SMO with no option.

 

[SantaC]

switch is old tech. not worth buying as of now

 

[ironmang]

I remember when 6 year old consoles used to get price drops.

 

[Same ol G]

switch is old tech. not worth buying as of now

Oooh how edgy

 

[8BiTw0LF]

 

[Caffeine]

think about it this way though its better then a gameboy.

"Choose your game! Mario, Mario or Mario? Which would you like? Mario!? Great choice! Here's some bonus Mario stickers" -Nintendo

 

[Power Pro]

Choose one lease on either a 6 year old game, 9 year old game, or 11 year old game. All of which should have been reduced in price years ago! Available until such time that we think it's profitable to keep the servers running on our stupid digital storefront, rather than just give you a game cart. Great value!

if you d/l it it stays on your Switch, not matter what they do to the servers. None of these games need online to function (unless you wanna go online in MK8).

Oh great....oh shit...my sd card failed, I'm gonna have to buy another...oh...I can't download it again. The game I bought with real money no longer is available because Nintendo didn't see the money in keeping the servers up. Oops.

 

[Spukc]

This has to be the fucking dumbest fucking deal i have ever seen

Oh shit, my game on blu-ray got scratched and I can't buy another because they don't make them anymore.

Oh well, I'll buy another copy used from another person because that's what buying and owning something should be. The freedom to resell it should someone chose to. Those will always still be available unless someone buys every copy and purposely destroys them. Fuck off with this digital storefront defense. It is anti-consumer, and convenience is making you lose your rights to OWN what you spend your hard earn money on. I value my time, and the money I make while working a shitty job during it. The minute we go all digital, is the day i stop buying new games ever.

 

[Elder Legend]

Only 1 out of those is free? These are ancient games at this point and so is the console. Nintendo cotinues to be anti-consumer as possible. Please never change Nintendo. Don't get me wrong I love MK8 and SMO but come the fuck on dude. Just include them in a bundle :/

 

[fart town usa]

Love that two of the games are WiiU titles.

You could buy a used copy of any of these 3 games.
