Japan-only Switch 2 bundle costs ¥63,980 (about $403)

Nintendo will release a Japan-only Nintendo Switch 2 bundle on November 12 for ¥63,980 (about $403), including a download code for one game chosen from three options. At Japan’s current recommended price of ¥59,980 (about $378) for the console on its own, the bundle adds ¥4,000 (about $25) for the game code. Dollar equivalents use the October 12 USD/JPY rate and are approximate; they are not U.S. retail prices. Buyers can choose Mario Kart World or Nintendo Switch Sports Resort for Switch 2, or Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream for the original Switch. That last option makes this a choice across two generations, rather than three Switch 2 games. Nintendo says the code must be redeemed by March 31, 2027, and downloading requires a Nintendo Account and internet access. [Nintendo’s announcement](https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2026/261006.html) lists the full package contents. The regional limitation matters as much as the price. Nintendo’s Japanese-Language System (Japan Only) supports Japanese as its system language, and only accounts set to Japan can be linked. That makes the bundle a poor fit for international buyers looking for a lower-cost way into Switch 2. [Nintendo’s system information](https://www.nintendo.com/jp/en/hardware/switch2/lineup/index.html) spells out those restrictions. The Japanese console’s recommended price rose from ¥49,980 (about $315) to ¥59,980 (about $378) on May 25. The new package adds one game choice for ¥4,000 (about $25) over the current hardware price.
