I was just minding my own business with Amazon Prime Day creeping up, like a cat ready to pounce, and then — bam! — stumbled on this Nintendo Switch 2 Console bundle at ShopTo. Outta nowhere, you know? Apparently, it’s back in stock in the UK, and my gamer intuition kicked in big time. It wasn’t like a price drop or anything — more like this sneaky savings move. You get the console and Mario Kart World bundled, and let me tell you, it saves a fair wad of cash. Separately, they’d put a decent dent in your wallet — I mean, around £400 for the console and that game? Not today, Satan.
Also, Argos is chiming in with the same price, £429.99, if ShopTo’s not your jam.
June 5, marked the arrival of this Switch 2, now flaunting a bigger, bolder 1080p screen. It’s kind of living large with its old tech but better — 4K gameplay, HDR, VRR, 120 fps. Techy folks were buzzing. I’m not super into specs, but hey, if Cyberpunk 2077 can work without making my console wheeze, count me intrigued. Oh, and it has all those Nintendo goodies — Mario Kart World and Zelda among ’em. Pure bliss for the inner child and all.
The package isn’t just about Mario Kart World, though — digital version, just to keep it 2023, right? You also snag those Joy-Con controllers (those little clicky things are fun), straps, a dock, and yeah, an HDMI cable because TVs aren’t about those bunny ears anymore.
Despite the hype, this handheld beauty — yeah, weirdly addictive — sold like hotcakes, 5 million in a weekend. Blew right past their own records! Even Nintendo’s bigwig had to go, “Sorry!” about the stock craziness. Obviously, there’s a frenzy.
And amidst this, here we are, scavenging Prime Day for those juicy computer hardware deals. You could dive into SSDs, hard drives, monitors, all that geek fodder. Just don’t get too sidetracked — unless, you know, you want to. Who am I to judge?
