[TLZ]

Waiting for that odyssey bundle.

 

[maxcriden]

Seems odd to have the MK8D logo twice.

 

[Living Proof]

Why does it have gray joycons on the front but colored ones on the side?

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Much better packaging than the regular vanilla Switch (which is terrible).

 

[The Omega Man]

This is legit, there is a Neon version as well, both on pre-order on the Nintendo Russian store

 

[Pinky]

Looks fake, but this bundle is almost a certainty. It would print mad money.

 

[manueldelalas]

Why does it have gray joycons on the front but colored ones on the side?

I want this answered too.

 

[SexyFish]

Can't wait to get finally a neon Switch with a game bundled.

The Russian site has a bundle with neon also.

 

[Skyzard]

Feels like they should have went with the neon with that artwork.

The Russian site has a bundle with neon also.

That's good.

Would be a good buy at $250

 

[Jonneh3003]

On the counter side for #TeamReal, this apparently comes from the Russian site, all PAL versions of Breath of the Wild didn't have an age rating on the cover if they were part of the Limited Edition. This might be the case for all Switch bundles.

(look at the smaller box in the limited edition)

No PEGI rating on the box, same as this Mario Kart 8 bundle.

Good attention to detail or real?

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

There's a chance this is going to be announced in the Direct today and the Russian store just put it up early. Maybe as part of a restocking-the-Switch initiative or something.

This is legit, there is a Neon version as well, both on pre-order on the Nintendo Russian store

I would be all over a Neon bundle of this or Splatoon 2. That's awesome.

It is real, but the box art is probably a temp mock up.

You can go preorder it right now apparently.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Fake as Fake.

Real as Real.
Doubters about eat crow.

 

[cws]

Well Switch confirmed to have solid sales throughout the summer if true.

Mario Kart is the only big Nintendo game I expect to be bundled with the system for the foreseeable future.

 

[Dreamwriter]

Neon joy cons on the side and regular joy cons on the front of the box? What's up with that GAF?

Love the box design, btw. Nice job Ninty.

Maybe it comes with 4 controllers instead of the normal two, for 4-player Mario Karting.

 

[The Omega Man]

Neon version as well

It's real......

 

[oti]

Idk. Maybe it's not an official box? Like it might just be a normal switch box w/ a copy of MK8 and someone threw that frankenstein pic together. From the link:

There's nothing weird about a bundle with Mario Kart for the holidays. But I would've thought they bundle the neon colours with it, not grey.

Yep there it is!

 

[kulapik]

I assume it's just a mockup.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Neon version as well

Ok, yeh.. These are just piss poor mockups.

 

[bobbychalkers]

That bundle makes too much sense for Nintendo not to do it but that is the jankiest looking box I've seen in a while. I can't tell if the game boxart is attached to the box or not.

 

[Neptonic]

 

[DoctorFling]

Hmm, colour me surprised if Nintendo are doing bundles already. Would certainly be good in getting me to make the switch.

 

[Peltz]

Black joycons on the front yet neon joycons on the side of the box.... hmmmm....

Team fake.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I will never understand how you guys like the neon joy-cons. Seems like for years all I read from here and other sites was how "FisherPrice" Nintendo products look. Then the sleek and cool looking gray joy-cons are revealed and people are clamoring for the bright red and blue ones.

I've held both versions in my hands and the grays just look so much better to me.

 

[oti]

Neon version as well

Man. A BOTW bundle could have some amazing artwork on the box.

 

[Kouriozan]

Well Switch confirmed to have solid sales throughout the summer if true.

Mario Kart is the only big Nintendo game I expect to be bundled with the system for the foreseeable future.

Nintendo going for that artificial shortage again, I see!

Spoiler

/sarcasm

 

[sanstesy]

It will happen but a bit too early, no? Seems like a bundle meant for the holidays more than anything.

 

[KodaRuss]

This is kinda wait I have been waiting for... but if it releases soon then I might have to wait. Not ready for a new console yet.

 

[Seik]

That's the bundle I expected to be since the beginning, honestly.

It's one of the most polished, accessible and good looking game on the console, it screams to be in a bundle.

 

[schaft0620]

• Gray Joy-Cons on the front
• Neon Joy-Cons on the sides

Wut?

IIRC that is how my box looks I have a gray one.

Ok, yeh.. These are just piss poor mockups.

noooooo they edited it to watermark it.


I just hope that this is $350

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Yep there it is!

Can't see shit. Screenshot?

 

[Pinky]

Yep, looking like it's real. That first render threw me off because the game case is extending out beyond the borders of the Switch box.

 

[Dark Cloud]

It will happen but a bit too early, no? Seems like a bundle ready for the holidays more than anything.

Naw. I think Nintendo isn't playing around. They know summer can be slow months. They want to make sure the Switch sells and have momentum. Plus they can tell their investors about it.

 

[AlexMeloche]

...would buy at 300$

Spoiler

CAD.

 

[_Clash_]

Switch gonna be sold out til Christmas

Download code and $350US I suppose

 

[Machina]

Very smart move, and predictable. This will sell like discounted toilet paper

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Feels like they should have went with the neon with that artwork.



That's good.

Would be a good buy at $250

You want a price drop already? Way too early.

 

[cubicle47b]

This is probably what we'll see coming up to the holiday. Good strategy?

I think so. The game has a ridiculous amount of content and Mario Kart has become their highest selling game so it will be a very good first game for someone new to the system and it has a ton of appeal. If the bundle is $300 it's a fantastic move.

 

[Lexxism]

It will happen but a bit too early, no? Seems like a bundle meant for the holidays more than anything.

It's going to be $350.

 

[deleted]

Nicething to get people on the switch train. It's a great game to play instantly with 2 people.

The question is: How much is it? Will it be 390 Euros in Germany now?

 

[Doogdogg]

that's no bundle. You could clearly see Mario Kart 8 box is outside the Switch case.






/s

 

[phanphare]

so it's gonna come with a physical version of the game?

whew

 

[kingofthedead45]

Links from the Nintendo shop, people still saying fake. Lol Wut.

 

[klier]

Why does it have gray joycons on the front but colored ones on the side?

Too much color otherwise? The only thing I can think of....

 

[oti]

so it's gonna come with a physical version of the game?

whew

They'd run into problems with GameStop if it wasn't, wouldn't they.

 

[ThisOne]

If it's $350, count me out. If it's $300, well, that's another story...

 

[Bazry]

Switch gonna be sold out til Christmas

Download code and $350US I suppose

Shows a physical copy on the box and there is a space in the Switch inners for a game box

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Someone in the Reddit comments said the switch is normal 22500 in rubles and this bundle is 25000.

Also the game itself costs 3700 on its own.
