Okay, so here’s the wild ride I went on just trying to keep up with all this stuff — Amazon Prime Day was like, flashing on everyone’s radar, but suddenly bam! The Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart World pops back up in the UK at ShopTo. Surprise shopping frenzy, anyone?
Listen, it’s not technically cheaper or anything dramatic, but if you grab this bundle, you’re saving some cash. Let me break it down — the console itself is near £400, and Mario Kart World alone can lighten your wallet by over £60 depending where you snag it. Kind of nuts, right? Oh, and if you wander over to Argos, you’ll spot the same bundle for £429.99. Decisions, decisions.
So, the big reveal happened back on June 5. The Switch 2, it’s got this bigger, shiny 1080p screen. Do I need it? Probably. Anyway, same docking thing going on as before but now it’s stepping up with gameplay in 4K. HDR, VRR, up to 120 fps — yeah, lots of letters and numbers but trust me, it’s fancy.
Of course, there’s the big AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 that it’ll run, but c’mon, you’re really here for the Nintendo gold: Mario Kart World, Zelda, all the classics that make you wanna stay up till 3 a.m. racing against your own ghost.
When you grab the bundle, you get this digital download of Mario Kart World — the latest in the best-ever-get-behind-the-wheel series. Plus, Joy-Con controllers, those little wrist strap things so you don’t launch them into your TV, and the dock with an HDMI cable. It’s like a mini Christmas morning.
Okay, storytime — Nintendo sold like 5 million units the first weekend. Their president actually apologized because they sold out like crazy. Imagine being that popular.
Now, if you’re chasing deals harder than a caffeine kick on Monday morning, check out all the Prime Day stuff. Seriously, you might score some epic finds — SSDs, monitors, graphics cards, you name it. Dive into those savings before they disappear faster than my weekend plans.
Phew, I think that’s it. Or maybe not. Honestly, I lost track somewhere between the mass excitement and laksa for lunch.
