US EditionSwitch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle Production Ends, Nintendo Says It's Now 'Available in Limited Quantities… While Supplies Last'
GameStop will only restock the base Nintendo Switch 2 console after selling remaining Mario Kart World bundles, ending a promotion that saved buyers about $30 each.
- GameStop's internal memo, spotted by Nintendeal and shared December 21, 2025, said the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle reached end of lifecycle and won't be produced further.
- Just six months after launch, Nintendo is preparing to wind down the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle, which launched earlier this year and typically retails for $499.
- With limited stock at several retailers, once inventory is depleted, future restocks of the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle are unlikely, and gamers would pay the full $79.99 for the game.

- Market pressures including a global RAM shortage suggest the Mario Kart bundle might return next Christmas season temporarily, though hardware pricing in 2026 and adjustments remain uncertain after price moves this year by PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
