Oh man, so here’s the thing. Amazon Prime Day, right? Everyone was hyped about it. But then, out of nowhere—or maybe not nowhere, who knows—this Nintendo Switch 2 bundle with Mario Kart World pops back up in the UK, like magic. Is it just me, or do these things always pop up when you’re not looking? Anyway, it’s at ShopTo now. Wild.
Okay, so quick rundown: you’re not really getting a discount, but it sorta feels like one? Like, the Switch 2 alone sets you back, what, £400? And Mario Kart World on its own could be £60. But the bundle? It clumps everything together for less. Or, check Argos, and it’s £429.99 for the same goodies. Your call.
Oh right! June 5, they rolled out this new Switch 2 with a bigger screen. It’s all 1080p—so fancy—and the docking, like before, kicks it up to 4K. Throws in HDR, VRR, plus 120 fps, ’cause why not? Sure, it does the whole Cyberpunk 2077 thing, but let’s be real. It’s the Mario and Zelda stuff we’re here for.
They tossed in a digital Mario Kart World (the vibe is unmatched), those funky Joy-Cons, some straps, the dock, and yeah—an HDMI cable to keep things plugged in. Imagine the chaos on your TV. Love it.
Crazy stat, right? They moved, like, 5 million units in the first weekend. People went nuts. The Nintendo president even sat there saying sorry because they couldn’t make ’em fast enough. How wild is that?
Anyway—wait, where was I? Oh yeah, deals. Prime Day might have other offers if you’re not Switch hunting. More techy stuff like SSDs, monitors, graphics cards. But honestly, the Nintendo buzz kinda steals the show this time.
