Nintendo’s new Switch bundle line-ups announced, includes Animal Crossing editions and free games

[John Elden Ring]

Nintendo has announced a series of new Switch and Switch Lite console bundles.

The bundles, which are coming to North America on October 6 and Europe on October 20, include the standard edition hardware and come with a download code for a free game.



Europe, meanwhile, is getting a Nintendo Switch Sports Bundle, which also features a standard red and blue Switch console and a three-month membership for Nintendo Switch Online, but includes a digital copy of Nintendo Switch Sports instead of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Both regions will also be getting two Nintendo Switch Lite bundles – each of these come with a free digital copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and each has a new Animal Crossing design.

The Isabelle’s Aloha Edition is a pink Switch Lite console, while the Timmy & Tommy’s Aloha Edition is blue. Both have an Animal Crossing leaf logo on the front of the console and a leaf pattern on the back.

Lol, Mario Kart 8 has been free with the Switch for years.
Both times I bought my Switch came with a Mario Kart, one digital pack in, one seperate. Both the same price as a Switch without a game

 

[KiryuRealty]

Actually including the game with the themed systems? Who is this and what have they done to the real Nintendo?

 

[Zzero]

Great, more shit for me to buy. Also, isn't that Mario Kart just the Mario Pick One minus the stickers and with no chhoice? Lame move, dudes...

How many do you own already?

 

[TubzGaming]

I dont see the point in buying a switch now unless you really need one and dont have one already as we know "switch 2" will most likely come out next year.

I just got one. I'd like to get another though.

People like you have been saying that for about four years now.

Keep fucking that chicken, eventually you’ll be right.

Looks like Nintendo is doing everything they can to surpass the PS2 if the Switch doesn’t then I believe the Switch 2 definitely will, as long as they don’t make a ton of significant errors like Sony has with the PS5.

Nah, they are just moving inventory for the new model.

Nintendo doesn't care about being the best seller in unit sales because that metric isn't really important for a company like Nintendo. Ultimately, profits are the most important metric for them to gouge the success of the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch has made over $20 billion in profits, which is over ten times higher than PS2, over two times higher than PS4, and higher than Wii and NDS combined.

Operating profits
PS2 - $2.2 billion
Wii - $10.56 billion
NDS - $11.04 billion
PS4 - $11.33 billion
Switch - $23.36 billion

Safe to say MK8D made more profits for Nintendo than the entire PS2 ecosystem for Sony.

Incorrect, they do care and yes it is important

If they really care about the Switch being the best-selling gaming hardware, then the current MSRP for all models should be significantly lowered compared to current prices.

It clearly indicates Nintendo prioritises more profits over more unit sales.

I need to mention this again to show how successful is the Switch vs PS2.

PS2 - $2.2 billion profits.
Switch - $23.36 billion profits and it's likely to end up closer to $30 billion profits and the end of its lifetime.

No need to drop the price when it's still selling well, I'm sure if sales declined they would've done a discount. Plus there are a ton of "unofficial" Switch sales that help, and the game bundles are also a discount in a way, Switch and a free $60 game essentially makes it $240.

Idk why you're mentioning profits, I never said it was one or the other, they can have both! And they want both. But too bad they won't break the PS2s software record of over 1.5 billion sales.

It's very possible, especially if they keep counting sales into the Switch 2 gen like how Sony did for the PS2->PS3. And if it doesn't, then the Switch 2 will, as long as they don't bring in idiots like Jim Ryan and Hermen Hulst. PS5 also had potential to outsell the PS2 until they came into the picture
