This bundle deal is great and probably the best you’ll see in a while, judging by Nintendo’s previous deals. To put things into perspective, the OLED edition of the original Nintendo Switch currently costs $400, meaning you can get the new Switch 2 with Mario Kart for $50 more. The new console is also an upgrade in every way, according to associate technical editor Michelle Ehrhardt. Nintendo Switch 2 review. The ergonomics and design have been improved, making it much easier to hold and look at. Battery life has also improved, now with around 180 minutes of handheld playback time before running out.
A big advantage is that the Switch 2 is backwards compatible, meaning you can play your old Switch games on it. Some Switch games have the option to upgrade to the Switch 2 edition by purchasing that game’s upgrade pack. This is especially worth it for games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Realm, which will look better on the Switch 2.
