While it might be Metroid Prime 4 release day, today’s game roundup is actually focusing on one game, and that one game happens to be attached to the most popular console of the year – the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World console bundle is still on sale at the Cyber Monday price. Both Amazon and Walmart have units in-stock and down at $449, or $50 off the list price. This is the lowest price we have tracked for this console in terms of a straight up cash discount and effectively the only deal we have tracked outside of the gift card action. If you’re looking to get a new Nintendo Switch 2 under the tree this year, this might very well be your only chance to score one at a discount.
As for the games, you’ll find the PlayStation End of Year sale right here and some hangover Cyber Monday offers below.
