European gaming fans have a fresh line-up of hardware options to choose from as Nintendo officially launches three new console bundles across the continent on Thursday, 29 October 2026 (today).
The new offerings provide choices across the flagship Nintendo Switch 2, the original Nintendo Switch, and the handheld-dedicated Nintendo Switch Lite.
Next-Gen Racing with Nintendo Switch 2
Headlining the new releases is the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle. Built exclusively for the new system, Mario Kart World expands the series with support for up to 24 drivers simultaneously – the largest roster in franchise history.
Alongside returning favorites like Grand Prix and Battle modes, the game introduces fresh modes such as Knockout Tour and Free Roam.
The bundle includes a Nintendo Switch 2 console, a full game download code, and a 3-month (90-day) Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership, enabling voice chat via GameChat and online multiplayer.
Joining the line-up today is also the standalone Nintendo Switch 2 The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition console, which features custom Triforce motifs on the dock, Joy-Con 2 controllers, and system back.
These releases follow the recently launched Nintendo Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort bundle that arrived on 22 October.
Classic Hardware and Handheld Options
For fans looking at original hardware options, the new Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle includes a standard Nintendo Switch console paired with a physical copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, offering access to 48 courses across land, air, and sea.
Meanwhile, the handheld-focused Nintendo Switch Lite + Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream bundle comes in a sleek Turquoise finish.
It includes a full digital game download and a free 30-day trial for Nintendo Switch Online, making it easy for players to manage their Mii characters on the go.
