PREORDER: The Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle won't hit retailers until Oct. 6, but it's now available for preorder at Best Buy for $299.99.


If you're still in the market for a Nintendo Switch, it's time to go ahead and join the club. Nintendo is bringing back its annual holiday bundles with the first of three announced for this year. If you're planning on getting your holiday shopping finished early this year, you'll be able to get your hands on an awesome buy as early as next month.

As of Sept. 6, the Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle is officially up for preorder at Best Buy for $299.99. For about $68 less than buying everything separately, you get a non-OLED Nintendo Switch system with Neon Red and Neon Blue Joy-Con controllers, a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a three-month membership to Nintendo Switch Online.

There's plenty more up Nintendo's sleeve this year, too. Though they aren't currently available to pre-order just yet, there will be two additional Nintendo Switch Lite bundles available this year. The Nintendo Switch Lite Isabelle's Aloha Edition – Animal Crossing: New Horizons Bundle is a Target exclusive and will include a coral system with a special leaf design on the front and a white leaf motif on the back. Alternatively, the Nintendo Switch Lite Timmy & Tommy’s Aloha Edition – Animal Crossing: New Horizons Bundle is a turquoise system with the same designs on the front and back that will be sold exclusively at Walmart. Both bundle versions come with a digital copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and will retail for $199.99 apiece.

Those bundles should be going live in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, it'd be a good idea to snag a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe set and make sure you're set for holiday shopping this year. Or go ahead and get one for yourself so you can try all the Switch games you've been missing out on.
