In celebration of Mario Day, Nintendo has unveiled an exciting new Switch OLED bundle featuring one of its top exclusive games: Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Priced at $350—equivalent to the standalone Switch OLED—this bundle effectively grants players a digital copy of the acclaimed platformer, which typically retails for $60. Additionally, the bundle includes a complimentary 3-month Switch Online individual membership, valued at $8. Availability is limited, so interested buyers can find the bundle at major retailers.
The bundle includes the Switch OLED with vibrant Neon Red/Blue Joy-Con controllers. While a Mario-themed console design would have been a nice touch, the colorful packaging showcases the game’s cover art.
For newcomers to the Switch platform, Super Mario Bros. Wonder serves as an excellent introduction. This 2023 platformer reinvents the beloved Super Mario side-scroller with innovative gameplay features, such as Mario’s Elephant power-up and Wonder Flowers, which transform gameplay dynamics in engaging ways. It received a remarkable 9/10 in evaluation.
The Mario franchise boasts a plethora of Switch exclusives, and enthusiasts can explore a range of games on sale for Mario Day. Noteworthy discounts include upcoming 2024 releases: Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Princess Peach: Showtime, each available for $40 (down from $60), and Mario vs. Donkey Kong, now priced at $30 (originally $50).
In addition to game promotions, Mario Day offers considerable savings on a variety of Super Mario toys and merchandise. Fans will also be excited about the announcement of the new Lego Super Mario Kart display model. The impressive 1,972-piece Mario & Standard Kart building kit for adults is available for preorder now, with a release date set for May 15, as a timed exclusive.
As the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to maintain backward compatibility with original Switch titles, all the games mentioned will be accessible on the new console.
