Deals: Nintendo's 2024 Christmas Switch Console Bundles Are Now Available To Buy

Isn't this kind of early to be announced and made available? I wonder if this really is getting out of the way early for a Switch 2 announcement in October...

I'm still mildly perturbed the Animal Crossing Switch Lites aren't any new colors! Why not a special Autumn edition? Or even recreate the limited edition AC Switch with one of the Switch Lites!

I feel bad for US, because every year they only get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe only! :/

Yeah, I'll get RIGHT on that.

With how completely bonkers Halloween merchandising has gotten in the US I'm surprised they don't do a spooky bundle. Tons of non gaming women would probably buy a pumpkin dock and witchy switch just to have them sit unplugged on a tiny table along with a bunch of Hocus Pocus crap.

Almost everyone knows the economy is bad, and before people spend all their money, and their Christmas Club checks, which come out in October, co.s want to put their wares out as early as possible to maximize profit margins.

Usually, in my stores, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are out early. Halloween stuff has been available for a while, and as soon as October 1st comes, Christmas decorations, and other things start becoming available moreso than previously. By the last week of October, or second-to-last week, most of Halloween has been packed away for, and until the following year.

92 days to Christmas, if you don't count today, or the target calendar date.

@Ulysses : Autumn is called "fall" by Americans for some reason, so if you want to give your Switch that fall flair, you can simply drop it from a high altitude. Heheh... ow. 🤕

I can hardly wait to see the Valentine's Day bundles in December.

it. is. september. why?

Another way to view this, is Nintendo is playing Animal Crossing with the clock, and calendar set ahead. From the Moon Gazing to now expecting to see Jack soon enough. Just don't have anything valuable on your person, when he comes.

I think Nintendo is really pleasantly pushing for the finish line in 1st place. To keep to what they have said, they only have to reveal information on the Switch successor before the end of the 24/25 fiscal year, which is March 31st, 2025. It is doubtful they're holding out that long. I'm sure they just want to maximize Christmas sales, because even if the successor doesn't release next year, the fact that most know it is on the way is going to eventually slow down Switch sales. So, Nintendo is trying to get every last bit they can, before they know they have to move on.

That white OLED with Mario Wonder and 12 months online is a really good deal.

I’m the UK for the second month running they are actually third behind the series consoles.
I’m not surprised it’s nearly 8 years old and still does very well.

I still think they should have gone Switch 2 may this year latest November this year.

release date for the Super Mario Bros Wonder bundle is 24th October

Hmm.. if they're announcing Christmas bundles now, it seems unlikely Nintendo would reveal the Switch 2 until next year. Otherwise it would hurt their sales.

@Coalescence Would have been a good opportunity to do something more with Luigi's Mansion at least.

@SurprisedRobinChu Not unless they want to maximize profits now to make up for lost sales after it's announced.

Switch was announced to the world 5 weeks before Thanksgiving. If Nintendo does that again, we can expect Switch 2 announced on Thursday, October 24, 2024. You heard it here first.

Question: What do people think, will the Switch ultimately surpass the PS2 in lifetime sales when all is said and done?

@SillyG It's called fall because the leaves fall.

Nintendo are ashwholes. They're going to announce switch 2 without a Metroid Prime 4 release, and wait for switch 2 to release it, just like they did with Zelda botw... Also Mario Kart 9 when... It's been 10 years now since 8... Oh, right after they sell all the Switch Mario Kart 8 deluxe bundles. Shady Nintendo

Awww, the New Horizons bundles are UK only. They were on sale for an insanely cheap price at Walmart in the US recently, but I found out about it like two days too late. Ended up buying a used Lite at my local game store earlier this week.

@MarioLinkSamus I'm putting my money on a February announcement for a May release.

@SillyG Yes! Even as an USA'n, I think Autumn is such pretty name, much better than Fall.

America could have also gotten a Super Mario Bros. Wonder Switch OLED bundle, the Nintendo Switch Sports bundle, and/or the Animal Crossing New Horizons bundles too, not just the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundles.

If they announced more holiday bundles, Nintendo could also get even more Switch sales this upcoming holiday season

Even if they did get announced for America, I wouldn’t pick up any of them up because I already have a Nintendo Switch
