Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have unveiled a fresh Nintendo Switch 2 bundle tailored for the European market, featuring the highly anticipated game Pokémon Pokopia.
The package will pair the Switch 2 console with a digital copy of Pokémon Pokopia, making it available through the Nintendo Store and selected retail partners. The bundle is set to hit shelves on 2 July, priced at £429.99 (approximately €499.99).
Notably, the console included in this bundle mirrors the standard launch model, with no additional hardware enhancements.
This release marks Nintendo’s latest “limited‑time” bundle offering. The company previously rolled out a Mario Kart World bundle at launch, which has since been discontinued, and a Pokémon Legends Z‑A bundle that debuted late last year.
The Pokémon Pokopia bundle will feature only the base game, excluding the recently announced expansion pass.
During last week’s Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that the DLC will comprise both free and paid updates.
The complimentary update, slated for release in August, will let players dive beneath the waves, using the new Dive move to cultivate grass, construct structures, and build their own aquatic communities alongside Pokémon.
In addition, a paid expansion will grant access to the new underwater town of Bubbly Basin, complete with fresh outfits, furniture, and Pokémon. A second paid expansion is scheduled for late 2026, while the third and final expansion will arrive in 2027.
VGC’s review of Pokémon Pokopia crowns it “Pokémon’s best spin‑off,” asserting that even the inevitable late‑game grind fails to tarnish the overall brilliance of the title.
We praised the game as an outstanding life‑simulation experience that blends the finest elements of genre leaders into a package that will delight both Pokémon devotees and fans of cozy gaming. The adventure remains rich with discovery at the 100‑hour mark, just as it was in the early stages.
