Oct 6
Nintendo will release the Nintendo Switch 2 (Japanese-language, Japan-only) Choose-Your-Game Set on November 12, the company announced on October 6. The bundle pairs a Nintendo Switch 2 console with one downloadable game chosen from three options: Mario Kart World, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and Tomodachi Collection: Waku Waku Life. The price is 63,980 yen including tax, and reservations opened on the Nintendo Store the same day. Game retailers nationwide and online shops will start taking reservations once their preparations are complete. The Japan-only console alone costs 4,000 yen less than this set, so picking any one of the three titles comes out roughly 3,000 to 5,000 yen cheaper than buying the hardware and that game separately. Standalone download prices are 8,980 yen for Mario Kart World, 5,980 yen for Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and 7,100 yen for Tomodachi Collection: Waku Waku Life, all tax included. Mario Kart World and Nintendo Switch Sports Resort are Nintendo Switch 2 titles, while Tomodachi Collection: Waku Waku Life is Nintendo Switch software.
