Nintendo Switch 2 is getting a limited-time sales push that pairs the console with Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 for a $20 savings. The offer begins on April 12 and runs through May 9, giving shoppers a narrow window to pick up the hardware and the game bundle together. Major retailers named for the promotion include Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart.
What the Nintendo Switch 2 offer includes
The deal applies when Nintendo Switch 2 is purchased at the same time as either the physical or digital version of Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2. The advertised savings is $20, and Nintendo says the promotion will be available through the listed retailers during the offer period.
Nintendo also used the announcement to highlight what players get from the games on Nintendo Switch 2. A free update allows players to jump into Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Nintendo Switch 2 with upgraded features, including enhanced resolution, improved UI, extra Storybook Chapters, a new Assist Mode, 4K resolution support, and Joy-Con 2 mouse controls for a second player.
Why Nintendo is pushing Nintendo Switch 2 now
The timing lines up with the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which Nintendo says the offer follows. The company noted that the film already appears to be performing strongly at the box office, giving the bundle promotion a boost at a moment when Mario is already in the spotlight.
That makes Nintendo Switch 2 part of a broader moment for the franchise, with the console offer designed to make the two-game package feel more immediate for buyers looking at the hardware. The message is simple: buy the system and the games together, and the savings is built in.
What players get inside Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2
Nintendo described the package as two star-hopping adventures with upgraded presentation and added accessibility features. In Super Mario Galaxy, Mario travels across the cosmos to recover the stolen Power Stars from Bowser with help from Rosalina. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Yoshi joins Mario’s space adventure aboard a starship shaped like Mario’s head.
The company says the free update on Nintendo Switch 2 also brings each game into 4K resolution and adds Joy-Con 2 mouse controls for a second player, reinforcing the idea that the experience is being positioned as more than a simple re-release.
How long the deal lasts
The offer starts on April 12 and ends on May 9, so the window is short and clearly defined. For shoppers considering Nintendo Switch 2, the promotion creates a limited-time path to save on a paired purchase while Nintendo leans on one of its most recognizable franchises.
For now, the key details are straightforward: Nintendo Switch 2, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, a $20 savings, and a limited run across major retailers before the offer expires on May 9.
