Is the Mario Kart World bundle worth it over the plain console?

If you want Mario Kart World anyway, yes. The bundle includes a full game download, which usually costs less than buying the console and the game separately.

Does it play my old Switch games?

Yes. It plays physical and digital Nintendo Switch games, so most of your existing library carries over.

Do I need a microSD Express card?

Only if you install a lot of digital games. The 256 GB internal storage is double the original Switch, but part of it is used by the system, and expansion requires microSD Express cards sold separately.

No. It is a 7.9-inch LCD with HDR and up to 120 fps. The Switch OLED model still has better contrast, but this screen is larger and faster.

The console, Joy-Con 2 (L) in light blue and (R) in light red, a Mario Kart World full game download, the AC adapter, and a USB-C charging cable.

Bundles like this tend to dip during Black Friday and holiday sales. At $449.00 at TalkShopLive as of November 4, 2026, it is already at the low end of the six stores listing it new.
