For anyone that doesn’t have a Nintendo Switch yet, this Switch OLED bundle should be a good deal.Mario Kart 8 Deluxeis one of thehighest-rated Switch games, and so it makes a great game for anyone’s Switch collection. The three-month subscription to Switch Online will also give players immediate access to some genuine Nintendo classics, including some of the best NES and SNES games of all time.
Some gamers that still have yet to get a Switch may want to hold off on buying the Switch OLED. While Nintendo itself has yet to make the official announcement, reports indicate that theSwitch successor consoleis set to launch at some point in 2024. It’s been teased that the Switch 2, or whatever it ends up being called, will have backward compatibility with Switch games.

Those that can’t wait should rest assured that the original Switch has an impressive library of games and one should have no problem getting their money’s worth out of the Switch OLED bundle. There are still many high profile Switch games on the way before the new console comes out as well, including anew Princess Peach game, thePaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Doorre-release, theLuigi’s Mansion 2remake, and more.
