I’m wandering through this, like, tech wonderland—so many gadgets and deals spinning around, it’s dizzying, really. And, yeah, of course, I was supposed to eye up Amazon Prime Day—and who wasn’t? But plot twist: there it was, the Nintendo Switch 2, hanging out, mocking me from ShopTo in the UK. Just casually back in stock with Mario Kart World cuddled up beside it like they were meant to be.
But here’s the kicker: not exactly a steal in the traditional sense (whatever that even means these days), but buying them together saves a wallet-bruising sum. The console alone could nearly gouge you for £400, add another £60 or so flailing in the wind for the game if you’re splurging separately. Argos is tempting too, sporting the same duo for £429.99. Decisions, decisions.
Rolled out on June 5, the Switch 2 kind of blows its little bro out of the water—bigger, bolder 1080p screen, still slides into its dock like the OG, but now welcoming 4K gaming. And HDR. And VRR. Boom! Up to 120 fps. It’s like a buffet of visual delights.
Honestly, it teases you with its AAA lineup—yeah, Cyberpunk 2077 and pals—but we know why you’re really here: Nintendo’s goldmine. Mario Kart World? Yes, please. Zelda’s whispering promises of adventure too. This bundle nurtures your nostalgia with a digital meandering of Mario Kart World—seriously, nothing mimics that excitement, right?
Kit-wise: you get the Joy-Con controller dance, some strappy bits, a TV dock, plus an HDMI cable for that unavoidable plug-in party.
Apparently, every gamer and their grandma snagged one of the five million sold in the first frenzy-filled weekend. Unreal, right? Even had Nintendo’s honcho waving a sorry banner over inventory hiccups.
But listen, if Prime Day has you scouring for deals like a treasure hunter on caffeine, I’m still digging up goodies across SSDs, hard drives, gaming monitors, graphics cards—oh, and CPUs too. Let’s not leave those out. Shop smart out there!
