Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle worth it?

If you still haven’t got a Nintendo Switch yet, then the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle is a brilliant excuse. The switch ordinarily costs $300 alone, and big games like this one rarely reduce below $60 for just the game. Then there’s the NSO subscription which is half the fun when it comes to the Switch.

There are also tons of amazing free games you can play on Switch in 2023. While you should certainly factor in the NSO subscription into your final decision (it’s $7.99 for three months), it’s good knowing there are some low cost ways of enjoying your Switch.

We will add that there are some potential Switch 2 rumours in the mill, the latest of which is that a Switch 2 was allegedly demoed at Gamescom 2023. This would be a pretty good reason to hold off on the bundle if you want the latest and greatest. However, the bundle offers great value so maybe stick with it. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is going to be great on whatever console you play.
