Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart Bundle Now Available in the UK — Get the Console and Game for £429.95

Oh man, so I was all set to dive into Amazon Prime Day chaos—because who isn’t?—when BAM, the Nintendo Switch 2 shows up like an unexpected plot twist, featuring Mario Kart World. No joke, it’s like stumbling across a hidden snack in the back of your pantry. Sweet surprise.

Anyway, ShopTo in the UK is waving this game-changer under our noses. Now, honestly, it’s not a discount. But hear me out—pairing the console with Mario Kart World somehow makes the high price tag feel less obnoxious. The console? It’s a hefty £400. Mario Kart World solo? A cool £60 or even more. But together? It’s like… saving money without actually, uh, saving money. (Does that even make sense?) Also, Argos has the same deal for £429.99. Choices, huh?

This thing launched June 5, and the screen is larger—1080p, baby! Plus, still does that docking thing for 4K gameplay. Fancy, right? Cue the tech nerd applause. Features HDR, VRR, and it can handle up to 120 fps. I mean, not that I’m counting frames like a pro-gamer, but still. Talking titles, it runs Cyberpunk 2077 and the real gems we’re all here for like—drum roll—Mario Kart World and Zelda. Big win for the inner child in all of us.

What’s in the box, you ask? Digital download of Mario Kart World (because physical copies are so 2005), those renowned Joy-Con thingamajigs, some straps (safety first?), the docking station, and of course, an HDMI cable. Like, I can see myself playing while totally ignoring my responsibilities, you know?

This bundle? Hot like pancakes on a Sunday morning. They sold 5 million units in the first weekend—breaking records left and right. Even Nintendo’s president had to eat some humble pie and say sorry for the low stock. Must’ve been awkward but hey, good problems to have, right?

So yeah, in between keeping my eyes peeled for hardware deals this Amazon Prime Day, my wallet’s itching. We’ve got all sorts of savings lined up. I mean, if your gear needs an upgrade, check out our mind-blowing SSDs, storage, hard drives, monitors, and—of course—graphics and CPU deals. Because, clearly, when it rains tech, it pours temptation. Oh well, cheers to busted budgets and guilty pleasures!
