Summary
- Costco offers a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle with Mario Kart World and Nintendo Switch Online upgrade for a June 5 release.
- Costco membership is required for the Switch 2 bundle, with no pre-orders available, limited to 1 purchase per membership.
- The speculated price for the Switch 2 bundle at Costco may have a $10 discount, bringing it to around $539.
On April 26th, Costco disclosed that a package deal for the Nintendo Switch 2, containing Mario Kart World and a 12-month membership to Nintendo Switch Online (which includes Expansion Pack access), will be offered at several US locations. But, it’s important to note that shopping at Costco necessitates an annual membership, and the release of their Nintendo Switch 2 bundle in US stores is not scheduled until June 5th.
The announcement about the Costco package deal arrived following Walmart, Target, and Best Buy accepting advance orders for the Switch 2 console. Yet, the organized chaos surrounding the pre-order phase of the Switch 2 was evident as some customers encountered errors, queues, and technical difficulties that hindered their ability to finalize a purchase. In contrast, persistent users ultimately managed to reserve a unit via Walmart and Best Buy’s online platforms, while GameStop’s in-store method largely proved successful. At present, the Switch 2 pre-orders are all sold out. However, additional opportunities for pre-ordering will become available on GameStop and Walmart’s websites as returned pre-orders and bot orders are eliminated.
Despite not releasing until several weeks from now, one retailer – Costco – will entice its members with an appealing deal for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. As reported by Wario64 on social media, this bundle will include the digital edition of the eagerly awaited “Mario Kart World”, a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online membership (including Expansion Pack upgrade), and the long-awaited Switch 2 console. This exclusive offer becomes available starting June 5th and cannot be pre-ordered. Importantly, this Switch 2 bundle is only accessible to Costco members in the US and can only be purchased at Costco stores.
Costco Will Offer Members A Valuable Switch 2 Bundle Starting June 5
Costco’s annual membership fees begin at $65 for the Gold Star level and $130 for the Executive level. A Costco membership grants access to two membership cards, enabling customers to share one with a friend or relative who wants to buy the Switch 2 “Mario Kart World” bundle. However, it’s important to note that each Costco membership can only purchase the Switch 2 bundle once; this limit resets every seven days.
The Switch 2 “Mario Kart World” bundle and the Switch Online membership with the Expansion Pack typically cost $499.99 and $49.99 respectively, amounting to around $549.98 before taxes and additional charges. Twitter user Wario64 suggested that Costco might offer a $10 discount to attract its members, reducing the total price to approximately $539.
Approximately several million Nintendo Switch 2 consoles are expected to hit the market on June 5. Purchasing a retailer bundle might be a reliable method to secure one of these upcoming systems. However, it’s yet unknown how much Costco will charge for their Switch 2 bundle package.
