Nintendo announces Mario Kart console bundles for the holidays

A pair of new Switch bundles are en route for the Holidays, both of which will star the long-lived Mary Kart 8 Deluxe.

Back in action

Yep, Nintendo is digging back into the seemingly unending treasure trove that is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The karting classic revamped the Wii U title for the Switch in 2017, and is still a huge fan favorite for fans of Nintendo’s current console. It’s such a mainstay that the company is banking on it to push a few more consoles for the Holiday season here in ’24.

The gaming giant announced that lineup today, with a pair of Switch bundles, both of which will be out and ready to roll next month (while supplies last of course). And yes, before you ask, one of them is an OLED model.
