It is going to be insanely successful this November. They don't even manage to keep the standard Switch alone in stock because of the demand.

It's kind of a lame bundle considering MK8 has been the bundle the last two years as well and it hasn't gone down in price...


but its also absolutely enough to guarantee massive numbers.

Let's go Pikachu and Eevee are getting closer to the price I'd pay for them, only $25 more to go.

Looks like Mario Tennis Aces and Yoshi's Crafted World are the other games that are being discounted:

Link's Awakening might be worth it for me at that price... I was holding out for $30ish but we'll see...

Already bought the game at full price on Wii U and Switch physical. :(

At this point, the game was borderline a launch title. It's like saying "get this black Friday PS4 with Shadowfall and 3 months plus"

It just doesn't really strike me as a deal personally.

Did Shadowfall sell 5+ million copies at full price in the last 6 months? The "it's an old game" logic doesn't apply to Nintendo when their games sell the same, at the same price, even years after launch.

You are still getting a full price title for free, it's not like you can find MK8D at 15 dollars today.

Hope they offer some good digital sales. Would probably grab LA & FE3H for $40 if they show up.

Tbf given how well mario kart sells its definitely would be seen as a deal to alot of people. They should still have the deal priced a bit cheaper tho

I will be very upset if that LGPE discount doesn't come to the UK. I've wanted that game for a while now.

The difference is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still millions of copies month in, month out.

The only game that is more appealing to a new Switch owner is Animal Crossing.

The correct comparison would be a GTAV bundle.

I think the only reason this is a debate is because you're saying "deal" instead of "good deal." It appears like you're denying it is even a discount to some.

Edit: Also what Oregano said: GTAV is a better comparison than KZSF. But again, you're free to consider it a mediocre deal even still, of course

Mario Kart 8 still sells at full price. More importantly, it's the best-selling Switch game to date. It's by far the single best game they could offer as a freebie to new Switch owners.

I don't think it's much of a deal, but it's the Switch, it will still fly off the shelves. Funny thing, I think I got my switch and games cheaper at launch than people paying now.

I think around that time after release I bought the Gamecube+Mariokart DD Bundle for 99€ ;)

Switch seems to be holding its value quite well.

If shadowfall was the second best selling title of the year on the platform, behind only animal crossing, sure.

Edit: I guess it's actually third with the mario 3d all stars A bit ahead of it. Might not be by the end of the year though!

They have so many paths to sell an insane amount of consoles this holiday that they don't even have to discount Animal Crossing, let alone BotW, Smash, or Odyssey. Remarkable

MK8D bundle still makes the most sense imho, it's both fun in single and multiplayer and perfect for short on the go sessions. Due to the joy-cons you can do MP out of the box.

It's literally the best game to sell people on the system.
