Finally something other than the customary MK8D bundle for BF
Damn, can't even bundle a game with a pair of Joy Cons any longer without making it a digital code.

something for everyone
I have never into Switch so I have to ask if this deal is really a good one. 350$ in US is the equivalent of about 400$ in Europe(where it would also add the around 27% tax, so about 450$).
It doesn't look so appealing for a 7 years old tablet.
Xenoblade 3 for $40 is a fucking STEAL!!!!
Good to see they are starting to do stuff. Hopefully next year we see these sorts of things get permanent as they try to retain decent sales through Switch's final year.
Does it include the DLCs?
This is lame and cheap of Nintendo. MS and Sony are getting bundles with brand new games while Nintendo bundles with a 5yr old game. Nintendo should've bundled it with Super Mario Wonder and/or Super Mario RPG.
You both make it sound like people only buy 1 Switch per household. There are people that want to upgrade from their original Switch and already has Smash bros to the OLED model. My initial statement is in fact because my nephew already has a Switch and Smash and I planned on getting his little sister a Switch too so it would've been nice if it was bundled with a new game that they don't have yet and can share, not some old game that the majority probably already bought.
Just imagine if the new PS5 slim was bundled with MW2 instead of MW3, we all would think that would be stupid...but I guess you both would think that's fine because its for "new PS5 buyers" anyways right? lol
Bundling with a new game, especially while it's currently hype, is actually the "best of the best" case scenario for ALL buyers.
If you find it acceptable that they included a 5yr old game that's fine, we have our own opinion, but I find that pretty weak (and cheap of Nintendo). You have to be really pro-Nintendo to come up with a weak defense comment like that.
Ok let’s say they bundled a brand new game, what if you’re not interested in that game? No bundle will appeal to every gamer.
The point of a bundle is to make the console more desirable and SSBU/MK8D/AC:NH are the 3 best selling games on Switch, i.e. the most appealing games.
Your MW example doesn’t make much sense as MW3 replaces MW2 so MW2 is no longer an appealing title to bundle, if a new SSB released this year and they still bundled SSBU than your example would be relevant.
I just find it odd to complain about getting something for free.
You don't think gamers would not be interested in Super Mario Wonder and/or Super Mario RPG? That's not likely. Not sure what horrible new Nintendo game you're thinking of that just came out that would make the bundle less desirable. Heck, they could've bundled it with Tears of the Kingdom since that's still fairly new too.
I'd rather get a free game I'm not interested in than a game I likely already have.
SSBU/MK8D/AC:NH have been out for so long and have been bundled before that anybody that wanted it likely already has it. That's also why you think its been the most appealing since its been out for so long and have already sold millions.
My MW2 example may not be the clearest but from your initial comment it's still considered a 'new game' to the 'new' PS5 owners. Every game is new to them after all right?
Nintendo has done fine when a new Pokemon game comes out they would release bundle with the new Pokemon game. So why can't they do the same with this rather than bundling it with an old game.
I'm not complaining, I'm just stating that this Switch bundle is lame and Nintendo's cheap that's all. Nothing exciting about a new bundle with a 5yr old game.
Of course there would be people who want a Wonder or Mario RPG bundle, I didn’t say they wouldn’t, I said no matter what game you bundle there will be some people uninterested.
Everybody who wants them already has them, yet they still sell millions of copies every year?
Show me when Nintendo bundled Pokemon with Switch for free.
Sure, you can never win the interest of everyone but it's more exciting when the bundle is with a new game, that's what I'm saying.
The games probably still sell millions cause Nintendo keeps bundling them lol. MK8 and AC are the main 2 bundles I constantly see throughout this gen, heck MK8 was also bundled heavily for Wii U.
My mistake Nintendo doesn't always bundle new Pokemon games with Switch, they only did that Switch bundle with Pokemon Let's Go. At least that was a Switch bundle with a new game at the time.
This whole time we’ve been talking about value added bundles where a game is included at no extra cost, the previous AC/Smash/Let’s Go bundles that you are referring to were special edition bundles that included the game at full price.
To my knowledge Nintendo has never offered a free game with Switch outside of Mario Kart and that was only during the holidays.
