Nintendo Switch 2 Super Mario Galaxy Bundle: Limited-Time Offer

Nintendo has announced a limited-time promotional offer that bundles the Nintendo Switch 2 system with a collection featuring Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. The offer allows customers to save $20 when purchasing the new console alongside either the physical or digital versions of these titles.

The promotion is scheduled to run from April 12, 2026, through May 9, 2026. The bundle will be available at several major participating retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart, with availability spanning both online stores and select physical locations.

Technical Enhancements for Nintendo Switch 2

The offer coincides with a free update that enables Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 to run on the Nintendo Switch 2, which Nintendo describes as the next evolution of the Switch system. This update introduces several technical upgrades designed to leverage the new hardware’s capabilities.

Key technical improvements included in the update are:

• Support for 4K resolution for both games.
• Implementation of Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, which are available for a second player.
• Enhanced resolution and an improved user interface (UI).
• The addition of new Assist Mode and extra Storybook Chapters.

These updates are intended to modernize the star-hopping adventures, providing a more refined visual and functional experience than previous iterations of the titles.

Game Content and Context

The bundle focuses on two distinct space-themed adventures. In the first Super Mario Galaxy, players assist Rosalina in recovering stolen Power Stars from Bowser across the cosmos. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the gameplay expands to include Yoshi, with the adventure taking place aboard a starship designed to look like Mario’s head.

Nintendo is timing this hardware and software promotion to align with the theatrical release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which is currently playing in theaters nationwide.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is positioned as an upgraded successor to the original Switch, featuring various enhancements to connectivity and multiplayer functionality to allow users to connect and play together in new ways.

Consumers interested in the $20 discount must purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 games at the same time between April 12 and May 9, 2026, while supplies last.
