Gaming Joy: Nintendo Switch 2 Makes a Comeback on Amazon Prime Day 2025

USAWed Jul 09 2025

Amazon's Prime Day 2025 has brought some exciting news for gamers. The highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is finally back in stock, and it's paired with the Mario Kart World bundle. This bundle is priced at its recommended retail price, offering a great deal for those looking to upgrade their gaming setup.

Nintendo Switch 2: Key Improvements

The Nintendo Switch 2 boasts several improvements over its predecessor:

  • Larger screen
  • More processing power
  • 4K output when docked

The package includes all the essentials:

  • Controller grips
  • Cables
  • And more

However, it's worth noting that the console is only available with the Mario Kart World bundle, which might not be ideal for everyone.

Exclusive Discount on Joy-Con Controllers

For families or groups of friends, Amazon is offering a 5% discount on an additional pair of Joy-Con controllers. The Red and Blue set is now priced at £69.96, down from £73.44. While it's still a significant investment, the discount makes it a bit more accessible.

Mario Kart World: Digital Download Code

Mario Kart World, included as a digital download code, has received positive reviews. One reviewer mentioned that they've been playing it frequently since the Switch 2's release. The game is praised for its fun multiplayer experience, perfect for late-night gaming sessions. However, there's a hope for more variety in launch titles in the future.

questions

    Is the 4K output on the Nintendo Switch 2 a marketing gimmick to make the console seem more advanced than it actually is?
    Could the inclusion of Mario Kart World as the main launch title be a strategy to divert attention from a lack of other major titles?
    Will the Nintendo Switch 2's larger screen make it easier to see when your character gets hit by a red shell in Mario Kart World?
