The Pokemon bundle is essentially replacing the Mario Kart launch bundle. Nintendo hasn’t revealed an exact end date for the Mario Kart edition, but it was initially revealed as a release-window promotional offer expiring Fall 2025.
Just like with the Mario Kart bundle, this bundle saves you money versus buying the $450 console and $70 game separately. You’re saving $20 overall with the Pokemon bundle, whereas the Mario Kart bundle offers a $30 savings due to Mario Kart World’s $80 MSRP.
Unlike Mario Kart World, Pokemon Legends isn’t a Switch 2 exclusive; the open-world adventure is also available on the original Switch for $60.
