Like years past, Nintendo is offering multiple console bundles for this holiday season while supples last.

There are two versions of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle. The Nintendo Switch Bundle will be $299.99, while the Nintendo Switch - OLED bundle will be $349.99. Both bundles comes with a digital download of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a one year subscription to an individual plan of Nintendo Switch Online. Both of these bundles will be available at Target, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Game Stop, and online at the My Nintendo Store.

This year Nintendo is offering the Nintendo Switch Lite: Hyrule Edition for $209.99. This particular bundle will be coming with a one year subscription to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. The Hyrule Edition bundle will only be available at Target, Game Stop, and Best Buy.

For those unfamiliar with the Nintendo Switch Online program, you can find the break down of each type of plan on the Nintendo Switch Online page.

Overall there are some great gifts for all members of the family. Super Mario Odyssey is a great value at $29.99. The game still looks amazing even though it launched back in 2017.

For me one of the best deals is on the Pro controller. For me it is one of my favorite controllers. The battery life is fantastic and they are light enough to not get hand fatigue like some other controllers.

Even though we know that the Switch 2 is on the horizon, we do not know a release date for it. For anyone that has not picked up a Nintendo Switch yet, it is still a great time to pick one up. Nintendo has announce there will be backwards compatibility on the Switch 2 and that Nintendo Switch Online will be available on it. Unlike other console generations, both of these announcements takes some of the risk out of picking one up.
