Just weeks remain before the Nintendo Switch 2’s Australian price climbs by $70 on September 1, and the Mario Kart World and Pokopia bundles are already being phased out, with only a handful of units left in select outlets.
That logic follows, as the console’s new retail price—$769.95 AUD—matches the former bundle price, making it impractical to keep the bundles on sale once the price increase is announced.
Fortunately, buyers still have a window to secure the plain Switch 2 at $699.95—or the bundled editions at $770—before the price adjustment takes effect and the standard unit adopts the new rate.
Rumours suggest that standard Switch 2 inventory is already scarce nationwide, a predictable outcome amid the impending price jump; therefore, if you’re looking to purchase, act now.
As of now, JB Hi‑FI has depleted its inventory of both game bundles, leaving EB Games as the sole retailer still offering the Mario Kart bundle and a handful of Pokopia bundles—an expected outcome given the recent launch, but it appears these are also being phased out.
In short, the Nintendo Switch II is available for purchase at $696 with complimentary shipping on the standard edition, or for $766 if you opt for the Pokopia bundle—both links provided below.
