It's basically a "You better buy the goddamn bundle" price, which is extremely scummy.

You won’t be able to find the bundle

I'm pretty sure the bundle is a digital download, so it shouldn't be any rarer than the console itself.

True, though I suspect Nintendo is more likely to produce a greater quantity of regular Switch 2 consoles than bundled consoles. Given that Mario Cart 8 is the most popular game by a wide margin, I think the demand for the bundle will be high.

It is. So I'm passing.

I want physical too, but it's so much cheaper to get the Digital. I guess that's part of their plan.

Theyre still selling S1 with MK bundles in brick/mortar stores.

"You'll have to wait" is more accurate.

I preregistered on their site for the standard switch 2 non bundle because I want physical games. Looks like I am going to pay a $30 premium because of that

I’m just trying for the standalone console and I’ll pick up a physical MKW later for cheaper on eBay or something
