About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
I know you can get console and game cheaper if bought separately. But the RRP seems decent for limited edition console. May not appeal to everyone here but could be helpful to collectors

sorted byIt's insulting when Nintendo do this. Also with no other "freebies" in the box I think their taking the mick!
Totally agree with you guys but it seems limited edition consoles can hold it's value more than normal console and can be resale at higher price if it's difficult to get hold off after it's released....
I think I agree there! I was nearly enticed by it when I first saw it but then I looked at the product carefully and thought:
'So the Joy-Cons are 'red';they're OK. But you don't get the physical copy of the came so out of the 32GB that the console comes with... how much would I have left to use?'
Also, I'm sure Nintendo will end up releasing the red Joy-Cons separately eventually.
In other regions you get a mario carry case included in the bundle.
In the UK you can buy the case septately for £19.99.

In my opinion though Nintendo make rubbish Limited/Special edition consoles now compared to the N64 and Gameboys etc.
I'm not certain if the discount codes are still working but £254.99 for a Switch without red joy-cons. About £37 for Mario Odyssey. With what is roughly £30 saving you can almost buy a Pro controller which is a must if using it in dock mode.
No it really won't. They will be in shorter supply as christmas approaches. They don't need to sell them at a loss.
Yeah, some games are definitely keepers. But are you going to be able to actually keep them digitally? Yes, until the powers that be say you can't. And that's the problem with digital. You're at the whim of the publishers and service providers.
I'm far happier with a physical version knowing I'll be able to play it in 20 years, just like I do with my NES and SNES cartridges now.
I never said this is best deal ever for switch. Hence I said clearly this won't appeal everyone. But there is market for limited edition consoles for sure. Check out prices of splatoon limited edition console on Amazon or eBay. I am not hardcore Nintendo fan and can't stand with their extortionate price policy. Posted this only to help few people who like to collect limited edition consoles...
Just buy a base console and Mario separately, at least the physical Mario game will have resale value.
So I'm going to have to vote cold.
You must be joking, right?
"Shaft their loyal base" is the overstatement of the decade. What are we talking here, no physical copy, not literally 'limited edition'...ok, but we are still getting what is a neat new Nintendo console and potential GOTY bundled in a package which would be cheaper buying each separately. Some may see that as a plus. (edited)
Careful. You seriously triggered a nintendo fanboy. Now you'll have to look behind your back for the day. Listen out for heavy mouth breathing. The halitosis should give it away when they're near. (edited)
Website says carry case included.
This old chestnut again.
It hurts Nintendo to have short supplies. It doesn’t help to keep the prices high and instead means they bring in less profit and potentially lose customers. The Switch is in short supply because Apple have been taking the supply of components that Nintendo needed. (edited)
Exactly! Some seem to forget that you can be a Nintendo fan but also call them out over their BS. I own every console apart from the Switch, but need more compelling reasons to purchase than red joy-cons and an overpriced digital download. I've been waiting for this Mario bundle and hoped for something decent, with an actual limited console and physical MO. This is a kick in the balls for me, and many others judging by the thread...
I have two switches. I have every apple iphone, most laptop and desktop models. However the phenomenon of apple and nintendo fanboys continues to astound and disgust me quite frankly. I truly and genuinely believe at this stage its like a religious ideology. As soon as you say the slightest criticism of these companies and their products these people will interject, chime in and start patronising you in a condescending manner. The tragic thing is these saddos don't realise these two are some of the most cutthroat and vicious companies who wouldn't urinate on them or their loyalty if they were on fire. Like you said, you can be a fan of the products whilst being open to criticism. I genuinely believe some nintendo and apple fans are horrible people worse than nazis. Sounds harsh but that's how I feel. Because I have a very low tolerance for their BS.
The Nintendo Switch however in my opinion is just a carbon copy of the Wii U, with the added facility to use as a handheld away from your home. The Wii U had extremely poor marketing leaving it to die a death that it probably didn't deserve.
Mario Odyssey is the only reason for people to buy a Nintendo Switch to date. As an owner of the Switch I can say that it isn't worth the money that it currently sells for. Not a chance, however I've got it now and am happy this game is coming out soon. Maybe it will change my mind....
I just noticed that... The thin skinned "powers that be" deleted my earlier comment. Maybe because I mentioned the word "retard" in it. Should just have said Nintendard...
Maybe I stated a fundamental truth. Or maybe I held up a mirror, and Nintendo fans didn't like what they saw...
A case of feelings over facts. (edited)
So it may be better to get this from an EU Amazon site if you want the case.
