Nintendo has officially opened preorders for its highly anticipated Choose Your Game Bundle, a special package arriving alongside the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. Announced on May 12, this $500 bundle offers a unique way for players to jump into the next generation of handheld gaming with a built-in digital title.
The bundle is scheduled to launch on June 7, 2026. Currently, you can secure your preorder through major retailers including Best Buy, GameStop, and directly via Nintendo.
What Is Included in the Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game Bundle?
The Choose Your Game Bundle is designed to be a complete out-of-the-box experience. Each package includes the following hardware:
- Nintendo Switch 2 console
- Dedicated Switch 2 dock
- Set of Joycon 2 controllers
- All necessary components for TV connectivity
The standout feature of this bundle is the included digital voucher code. This one-time use code allows you to select one of three major flagship titles from the Nintendo eShop:
- Mario Kart World (MSRP $80)
- Donkey Kong Bananza (MSRP $70)
- Pokemon Pokopia (MSRP $70)
By opting for this bundle, shoppers save between $20 and $30 compared to buying the console and a game separately. Once redeemed, your chosen game is added permanently to your library. Thanks to the Switch 2's Virtual Game Card system, you can even share these digital titles with other Switch 2 devices in your household or those on your NSO family plan.
Storage Requirements and Pricing Details
If you are deciding which title to claim with your voucher, keep in mind that each game requires a download before play begins. While the Nintendo Switch 2 features 256 GB of internal storage—more than enough for these titles—you can always expand your capacity using a microSD Express card.
To help you plan your digital library, here is the data footprint for each available title:
- Mario Kart World: 22 GB
- Donkey Kong Bananza: 9 GB
- Pokemon Pokopia: 6.2 GB
If none of these flagship titles suit your tastes, you can still purchase the standard Nintendo Switch 2 console for $450 at most major retailers. However, keep in mind that a price increase is looming; ensure you place your order before September 1 to lock in the current lower price point.
