Get the family together with a Nintendo Switch bundle this Christmas
The Nintendo Switch 2 is the ultimate family console for Christmas parties. Here are some of our favourite bundles, games and accessories you might want to buy
Since its launch in the summer, the Nintendo Switch 2 has become Nintendo's fastest-selling console ever, shifting 3.5 million units in its first few days of release.
With new games in classic franchises like Pokémon and Zelda launching, now is the best time to pick one up and join the over 10 million players who have bought a Switch 2 since launch.
The first-generation Switch was already a fantastic console that brought the best of Nintendo handhelds like the DS and Game Boy alongside the Wii's innovative approach to gaming in the living room. This created one of the best-selling and most popular consoles of all time, and given the fact that the Switch 2 surpasses the original in pretty much every way, it's easy to see why it too has become so popular.
The newest Switch is more powerful, includes a better and bigger screen, can output in up to 4k when docked, though you'll need a compatible TV and game to make the most of the increased resolution. We should also note that 4K gameplay is also capped at 60 fps. Nintendo Switch 2 can play compatible physical and digital games released on the original Nintendo Switch. Nintendo have also released a handy tool to enable you to check the compatibility of your older games on the new console. And that's not including the new social features like GameChat, which uses the built in microphone for voice chat as well as the Switch 2 camera add-on, which is sold separately, for video chat. Until March 31st 2026, GameChat can be enjoyed for free. Afterwards, a Nintendo Switch Online membership will be required.
It's perfect for playing Mario Kart World, the flagship launch title that takes the classic Mario Kart racer and sets it in an open world for the first time. Whether you're looking to pick up a console for your family this Christmas or just looking to treat yourself, the Switch 2, camera and GameChat plus Mario Kart World is a must-buy for any gamer.
And that's without mentioning the improved JoyCon controllers, Pokémon Legends: Z-A and the upgraded versions of both The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom that are optimised for the Nintendo Switch 2 display and add HDR support.
To help you figure out what to buy, we thought we'd take a look at the Switch 2, Switch 2 games and accessories and some of the bundles on offer on the My Nintendo Store.
